A great high-fibre way to start your day. Oats and apples contain soluble fibre that supports healthy cholesterol and blood sugar, feeds your good bacteria and helps to keep you regular—ginger and cinnamon warm the digestive system.
Ingredients
- ½ cup of oats
- 1 tbsp of shredded coconut
- ½ tsp of cinnamon powder
- ¼ tsp of ginger powder
- 1 small apple grated
- Optional – 1 tbsp sultanas or raisins
To serve
Milk or plant milk (almond, soy, oat milk)

Plain Yoghurt
For an extra antioxidant top with berries or kiwifruit
Prepare the night before
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir thoroughly

You should find that all the water has been absorbed into the dry ingredients.
