Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl




Today's breakfast is absolutely stunning and equally yummy. 
My day usually starts at 5:00 am, and after my morning walk this is just what I need. I would make my oatmeal and top it with whatever fruit I have on hand that day. In Guyana there's No abundance of fruits year round..
One of my favorite things to do is go to the farmers market here, there's always so much to choose from. Anyway before I get carried away as I  usually do let me tell you how I made this.. PS. When I saw that they had shaddock at the market I was so excited.. I knew I had to try this with my oatmeal and guess what? I loved it..

Ingredients
..........................................

1.  7 tablespoons of wholegrain oats (I use the old fashioned oats)

2. A dash of nutmeg

3. Half a stick of cinnamon

4. Chia seeds

5. 1 cup of watermelon  cubes

6. Half cup of shaddock pulp.

Juicing daily

Someone asked me just yesterday "why don't you just eat the fruits and vegetables instead of juicing them?"
Well see my body /stomach is not the same as that of a normal person, and that is due to the damage done by aggressive chemotherapy, which I had for Breast Cancer. So u see it takes longer for my body to break down the food I eat, and in order for me to get the nutrients I need as soon as possible, I aid my body by doing the work for it, just so it doesn't have to work overtime to provide me with the basic nutrients I need on a daily basis.
This juice is my absolute go to. Beetroot is sweet and has so many amazing healing properties it flushes your liver and kidneys,and carrots are packed with vitamins.

What you need.
1 beetroot
2 sprouted carrots
1 green apple

How to.
In a juicer, juice all ingredients skin and all, this insures you get everything from your fruit or veggies.

Serve with ice (optional)

Drink right way, do not store.

Enjoy!!

Frozen Blueberries, Strawberries, Banana and almond milk Smoothie.

Because of the fact that I'm fighting Breast cancer it's really important for me to have a healthy diet /lifestyle, so i've started experimenting with fruits,
Blueberries are a rich source of Antioxidants, which are essential to optimizing health by helping to combat the free radicals that can damage cell structures as well as DNA. And it's advised that blueberries be consumed raw instead of processed or cooked.
Just a bit of fun fact I thought will be helpful..

INGREDIENTS.
1/4 cup of frozen Blueberries
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup or 3 large frozen strawberries
1 cup almond milk

DIRECTIONS. 
. Add all ingredients in blender and blend until desired texture.
. Serve immediately. 
. this recipe only serves one
. Enjoy.


  • The reason i use frozen fruits is because i love the texture i get without having to add ice,
  • I also make this recipe with different types of fruits , so feel free to make this with your favourite fruits.
  • If you do try this out tag me on Instagram or facebook.
  • you can also add sweeteners, i don't because the fruits are naturally sweet.
