Once a year or so, I undertake a 3-week gut health/biome reset as a therapy for Rheumatoid Arthritis. It’s one of the most helpful practices I use to reduce systemic inflammation. After the reset, I’m rigorous about what goes into my gut, thinking of the coming year’s health. This “not-oatmeal” is fiber-rich, encourages great gut processes and after 3-4 days, I omit the prunes and continue to enjoy this as a warm morning meal, keto-style.
These handful of ingredients combine to make a noatmeal that tastes great and will make your gut happy too!
Here’s what you will need:
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 Tbsp Chia seeds
- 2Tbsp Shredded coconut
- 2 Tbsp Ground Flaxseed Meal
- 4 Pitted prunes, soaked in water just to cover
- Cinnamon (roughly 1/2 tsp, or to taste)
- 1/c boiling water
Combine the chia seeds, flaxseed meal and shredded coconut in a bowl. Add boiling water, 1 Tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency (I use just under 1/2 cup).
Keep stirring, the chia seeds will plump up a little. Add more water if desired. When you’ve reached the consistency you like, chop up the prunes in the water, then add the prunes with the water into your noatmeal.
Stir to combine. Lastly, add the cinnamon and stir. Enjoy!
