Equipment

  • Medium Cooking Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups water
  • 1½ cup steel cut oats
  • 1 to 1¼ cup strawberries, chopped (fresh or frozen)
  • ⅓ cup dried goji berries
  • ⅓ cup dates, thinly sliced*
  • 2 Tbsp whole flaxseeds
  • 2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • ¼ to ½ tsp ground black pepper** (optional)
  • 1 cup plant milk (optional)
  • ¼ cup slithered almonds for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add 4 cups of water to a medium to large pot and place over high heat.
  • While the water in the pot is heating, add all ingredients except for the slithered almonds and plant milk to the water.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low.
  • Simmer for 25 minutes, occasionally stirring to prevent ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pot. You may need to add more liquid to achieve desired thickness and/ or to prevent sticking.
  • Remove from heat and allow to sit for 2 to 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serving Suggestions: Pour a little plant milk over each bowl and sprinkle with slithered almonds.
  • Makes 4 generous servings.

Notes

*Use any kind of date you like, but make sure to remove pits and hard bits and always slice before measuring dates. I like to use Deglet Nor.
**The black pepper helps your body to absorb the healthiest component in turmeric.
