Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz apple, cubed or grated (see note below)
  • 1 oz rolled oats
  • 6 oz water
  • pinch salt
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon (or more, to taste)
  • 4 oz coconut yoghurt (or your favorite yoghurt): 1/2 protein
  • 1 oz nuts/seeds of your choice: 1/2 protein
  • 2 oz berries, defrosted, raw, or simmered down until soft

Instructions
 

  • First, combine apples, oats, water, salt and cinnamon in a small pan and cover with a lid.
  • Second, bring to a bubbly boil, lower the heat to medium low, and simmer until the oats cook all the way and the ingredients are well mixed and soft. You'll want the oats to become creamy and broken down, which will take about 3 to 4 minutes on simmer
  • Depending on the juiciness of the apple, you may be able to do with the 6 ounces of water. However, if you find that the oats are sticking to the bottom of the pot, you may have a dry apple and therefore will need to add a little more water.
  • Lastly, add these apple oats to a bowl. Dallop the yoghurt on top, top with the berries and add the seeds.

Notes

For Bright Line Eating™, this fulfills your portion of 1 grain, 1 protein, and 1 fruit.
Note: if using a hard apple, definitely grate it. If using a softer, super juicy apple, like a Macoun apple in the fall (my favorite), cubing is fine since it will almost disintegrate. Change it up, and consider the outcome. For instance: you'll get more flavor out of the grated apple, but you'll get a fun and interesting flavor out of the diced apple. Your pick!
