Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal

February 20, 2017 By Marijana Miljkovic Leave a Comment

When it comes to breakfast, I love to have it all: hot, cold, savory and sweet. It doesn’t matter as long as I have enough time to relish the first and most important meal of the day with no rush. I can get equally excited about a big hearty breakfast with my family or about quickly whipping up some French Crêpes for two – I love it all! I once participated in a workshop on the five elements food philosophy which originated in far Eastern countries like China. People there believe that the first meal of the day is best consumed warm, since our digestive system cools down during the night and therefore requires a (warm) jumpstart to re-stimulate our digestion.

Soon I will dedicate an entire blog post to the five elements food philosophy, but for now I’ll share my breakfast recipe with you. It is warm, sweet, nutritious and simply tasty – and it perfectly corresponds with the five elements food cuisine.

This easy to make vegan oatmeal with apple and banana is just the right blend of sweet and sour, plus it feels like a heavenly comfort food while being an overall healthy breakfast.

Ingredients:

  • 200 ml oat milk (or any other nut milk)
  • 50 g rolled oats
  • 1 small apple
  • 1 small ripe banana
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 1 tsp. flaxseeds
  • 1 tsp. flea seeds
  • 1 tsp. chia seeds
  • pinch of cardamom

Pour the milk in a small pot, add the oats and start warming it over medium heat. Grind the apple and add it to the pot along with the cinnamon and cardamom. Gently stir and cook the oatmeal until it becomes smooth. In the meantime, mash the banana. Then place the warm oatmeal in a bowl and combine it with the banana and the remaining ingredients. Enjoy while still warm.

Merry Christmas ✨ It's a very special and extrao Merry Christmas ✨ It's a very special and extraordinary Christmas this year, where our wishes to stay safe and healthy suddenly get a completely new meaning ✨ Among all the sorrow, fear and insecurity of 2020, let's focus on the good things that happened this year. What were they for you? Having spent more time with your loved ones? New career perspectives that opened up? A new home (as in my case)? A newborn? A wedding? Having enjoyed the summer when things seemed easy for a while? Having taken care of yourself?✨
If we really think about it, we will find many things to be grateful for in 2020 ✨
Enjoy the holidays and take some time off of worrying ✨

Some of my highlights of this crazy year in terms Some of my highlights of this crazy year in terms of flying... Empty airports, empty aprons, empty airplanes, empty employee parking lots (which you usually have to wait 20 minutes for at rush hour) and all of us wearing masks...
For us in aviation it is heart-breaking to see our dream hitting rock-bottom and suffering so badly in this pandemic.
But we will spread our wings and come back and bring people together, with a smile on our lips and in our hearts, just as we used to do ❤️✈️

Being enlightened - what does that actually mean? Being enlightened - what does that actually mean? Knowing why we are here, what we are supposed to do or having figured out the deeper meaning of it all? And does it really matter? Because if anything, us humans are just a bunch of creatures who, frankly, don't know much at all. And sometimes that's all we need to know 👀
