Turmeric-Blueberry Oatmeal with Flax

In Ayurveda, oats are said to increase vitality and are beneficial for the nervous system,
helping to relieve stress and tension. Their high silicon content supports the renewal of
all connective tissues and healthy arterial walls. Oats are soothing to the stomach and
intestines, and help lower cholesterol. Always favour organic rolled oats over the
quick-cooking variety (which lack prana).  

Ingredients:
● ⅔ cup rolled oats (can be soaked overnight)
● 1 ½ cups water
● 1 tsp turmeric powder
● ½ tsp ginger powder
● 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
● ¼ tsp ground cardamom
● black pepper
● maple syrup, to taste
● ⅓ cup blueberries
● 1-2 tbsp flax seeds
● 2 tbsp plant-based milk (optional)

Preparation:
1. Mix 2/3 cup oats with 1½ cups water in a small saucepan and place over
low-medium heat, partly covered. Add ginger and turmeric powder while cooking.
2. Grind the seeds of 1 cardamom pod in a mortar & pestle (or by crushing and
chopping finely with a knife), discarding the green shell (if using powder, add just
a pinch) and add to oats, along with 1 tsp cinnamon and a couple of cracks of
black pepper.
3. Add in blueberries and stir over low heat for about 10 minutes. Before serving,
add flax seeds, maple syrup and a touch of plant-based milk.
