Here’s a recipe for my Collagen and Carob Oats. Oats have a bad rep. Maybe its because they are a carb, that they are seen as the enemy? Or maybe its because you think of being forced fed lumpy porridge as a kid?
Whatever the reason may be, I plan to make Oats sexy again. Oats are a whole-grain food and are rich in fibre, manganese, the B vitamins thiamin and riboflavin, vitamin E and protein. They’re also low in sodium and fat and free of sugar, cholesterol and saturated fats.
So stick around for a few Oat inspired recipes from me!
What is Carob?
Organic Carob powder is low in fat and high in fibre. It is made from the ground up pod of the carob tree. It makes an excellent substitute for cocoa and can be used in the same way to add a chocolate flavour to drinks, baked goods and confectionery. It contains no caffeine.
Why Collagen?
I am a big supporter of collagen (an easy way to consume protein) and my prefered brand is O Nutricia. You can find out more about the brand by reading my review here.
