A hearty serving of oatmeal is always our go-to way to start the day. Oats are a great source for vitamins, minerals, fibers and antioxidants. But, oats themselves are sadly quite boring. To spice things up, we usually add dried fruits, a variety of seeds, spices and fresh fruits - all with their own nutrition superpowers.
We experimented with swapping out the hot water used for oatmeal with brewed tea, and the flavor blew us away! We like to pre-make the dried mix, to make mornings even easier. There are endless variations to this easy, quick and extraordinarily healthy breakfast, here's our most recent go-to.
SERVINGS: 2 / TOTAL TIME: 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS:

2 brew cups of Bulang Raw tea

1/2 tsp maca powder

small handful of raisins or craisins

handful of blueberries
-
1/2 an apple cut into small cubes
-
1 tsp cinnamon powder
DIRECTIONS:
-
Prepare the tea: Brew 2 cups (16 ounces) of Bulang Raw

Put the brewed tea into a saucepan and bring to a low boil
-
Add fresh fruits (blueberries and apple cubes) to the water for 2 minutes

Feel free to add more fresh fruit to the top to add a little temperature difference and texture
