My Toppings

Create your own toppings, here is an inspiration list- whole flax, flaked almond, diced pineapple, strawberries, banana, cacao nibs, buckwheat groats, mulberries, diced apple, broken dark chocolate, chia.
Method
- Start by preparing the courgette, and separating the egg (if using).
- Place a small size saucepot over medium heat, add the coconut oil.
- Once the coconut oil is melted toss in the oats and stir for a moment, toasting a little.
- Pour in the almond milk and continue to stir until its about 50% cooked, then add in the grated courgette- keep stirring until a stodgy consistency is meet (or runny- however you like it).
- Remove from the heat and quickly whish in your egg white with a fork, this adds a real creaminess to the oats! – but work fast.
- Add the hemp seeds, raw honey and lastly stir in the Spirulina or greens of choice.
