Oats for breakfast

Do you remember from when you were kids? We use to get a bowl of porridge every once in a while and I was never sure what to think of it. On the one hand it was quite ok (we also got a shit load of sugar in it too) but on the other hand it was so boring! I never really had it anymore until rolled oats become the next fashion thing. And as it turns out: I love it! I do usually go for the steel cut oats which are a bit coarser than rolled oats.

That also means you need to usually cook it a little longer but it will still have more bite than your average rolled oats. It is supposed to be healthier too although I wouldn’t be able to tell you why (need to look it up) This simple recipe with oats can be juiced up to your heart content.
