Dates and Oats Smoothie 

Ramadan is almost here! And this is one of my favorite drinks to have at the time of iftar. This one drink is enough to quench your thirst and fill your tummies. Also perfectly refreshing during summer. 😍👌

This milkshake is super nutritious. And you instantly feel that zing in your energy levels. Feel free to use Almond milk if you are lactose intolerant. Dates are rich in anti oxidants too.

Try this drink for iftar and you can thank me later. 😉😁❤️

This can make a perfect breakfast or food for anytime of the day. I guarantee you that you will instantly feel so good when you drink this. It's more like food for the body. Just 3 ingredients and voila you have the most simple, delicious and healthy smoothie ever!

The story behind this smoothie is that I always love to try new drinks for Ramadan. Well, we all face that time during Ramadan when you don't have the energy or time to shop and you need to fill your tummies with whatever is at home. So I thought of dates as dates are in abundance in the time of Ramadan at every home and also oats are really nutritious. So I was thinking of preparing a smoothie that wouldn't be headche, like finding many ingredients.. This smoothie is one that can be definetly tried by everyone at home.. Since these are basic ingredients..

I love dates.. Having at least 2 of them in a day makes a whole lot of difference.. Especially its high in Iron. Also there no requirement for artificial sweetener but if you really think it's not sweet enough feel free to add in some honey or extra dates. 

When I first made this here, everyone did not like the taste at the first sip. But as you drink it, you taste the flavors more and makes you feel good. The flavors that come from this are strictly from the roasting of the oats that brings in that nutty flavor. You need to roast the oats well on low until a beautiful aroma comes in. Be careful not to burn it. 

I don't know how exactly to describe the flavor. You definitely need to try it. It's super delicious 😋

Overnight Chia Oats with Blueberries and Kiwi

Mirror Mirror on the wall, which is the easiest and healthiest breakfast of them all?

It is definitely these Oats Chia Pudding!

It is not only a piece of cake to make this nutrient-boost/on the go breakfast with has full of life. Who wouldn't love to have a dessert/pudding right in the morning? This is not only going to give you your full potential to your day but will keep you full for a long time. Now ain't we looking for something like that, huh? We all might have had those days where we wanted to eat healthily but don't know how to start healthy. Well, this is absolutely dedicated to you guys. Well, I do not have a step by step image of this one, but hey, even a 5-year-old can make this! It's that simple. 

Ps: I wasn't actually planning to post this on the blog, this explains why there isn't a step by step recipe. *Posting because of popular demand!😊

Let me be frank here, I am not a big fan of oats that is made into porridge. I actually feel empty within an hour or so when I have oats in the morning. So I pretty much don't like it, it is like the last resort I think of when it comes to breakfast ( like when there is only milk and oats to hog in the morning😬)

However, this cold oats pretty much changed my perspective on cold food; when you are up from the bed. You are going to love your mornings when you make such delights. These creamy, rich and nutritious, slightly sweet course is undoubtedly going to make it to your favorite breakfast menu. Your fam is going to love you even more. 

All I do is grab my jar of Oats that has been sitting in the fridge since last night or 2 and grab a few berries and fruits or if I am much more in a hurry just put in a dash of dry fruits and voila! Delicious and filling breakfast ready! Hassle-free mornings are the best. Aren't they? So what are you waiting for? Grab your mason jars and get ready to indulge! 

1. Combine Chia seeds, Oats, Almond milk, Salt, Cinnamon Powder, Maple Syrup and Honey in a mason jar or a glass container. Give it a good shake or mix.
2. Place it in the refrigerator overnight.
3. Give the mixture a good stir to make sure the chia seeds have soaked up all the goodness.
4. You may add in berry puree or fruit smoothie for some extra craziness, but I prefer bite-size fruits in my jar.
5. Top up with some cereals for crunch, any dry fruits (I used walnuts), fruits and berries. (all these are optional)
6. Voila! Your Oats is ready to be relished.
