Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl - Stove Top + Green Smoothie to beat the afternoon slump!

Breakfast Oatmeal with Fruits & Nuts - Stove Top Method
This is a healthy and filling breakfast for any day of the week. Oats are fiber-rich, low in fat, high in protein, vitamins and minerals. I used quick oats in this video which have no extra ingredients added - you can use oats of your preference, rolled oats or steel cut oats which are even healthier if you have a little time - they take a few minutes longer to cook.
Listed below is an approximate calorie breakdown:
⅓ cup oatmeal in ⅓ cup part skimmed milk = 140
1 Kiwi fruit = 45
2 chopped dates = 45
1 tablespoon cranberries = 30
2 tablespoons walnuts = 70
Total = 330 calories approximately
The full recipe is as follows:
INGREDIENTS
OATS:
* ⅓ cup oatmeal (quick oats)
* ⅓ cup water
* ⅓ cup part skimmed milk (alternatively use almond milk or oat milk)
* Pinch of salt
TOPPINGS:
* Kiwi fruit, sliced
* 2 dates, pitted and chopped
* 1 tablespoons dried cranberries
* small handful of walnuts, chopped
* sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)
DIRECTIONS
1. Add oatmeal into a small pan. Add water, milk and a pinch of salt. Stir the ingredients and cook on a low heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Turn the heat off and cover with pan lid for 2-3 minutes.
2. Prepare the toppings; peel and slice the kiwi, chop the dates and walnuts.
3. Pour oatmeal into a cereal bowl and arrange the toppings around the oatmeal. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon if preferred.
Mid-Afternoon Fruits’n’Greens Smoothie
Handful of mixed greens (spinach, chard, kale, radicchio, arugula)
½ medium banana
¼ cup frozen raspberries
¼ cup natural or Greek yogurt
½ cup coconut water
Blitz all the ingredients in a blender or smoothie maker. I make this in the morning and leave it to chill until I am ready to drink it at mid-afternoon.
Depending on what I have at home, I often replace with different ingredients so that my smoothies don’t become predictable and boring! Some of my favorite ones are:
Frozen mango chunks
Fresh strawberries and blueberries
Dash of lime juice
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon of green matcha powder
Almond milk
Apple juice
This is also a smart way of getting some healthy greens into your kids especially if they are fussy eaters. Because it tastes so sweet and fruity, they won’t suspect there is a whole handful of salad leaves in there!! I hope this gives you some inspiration.

The porridge looks delicious. I usually go with cold overnight oats except in winter. I like the flavour combination you've suggested. I'll try dates, kiwi and walnuts in my overnight oats tomorrow. Thanks.

This way of making porridge oats look much healthier and more delicious than the plain one I always make. I’ll try this instead.
