The photos in this post are from when I stayed with bad ass lady friends on Bainbridge Island in Washington. It was a lovely escape from the routine of life at home, and I really enjoyed making oats for all the women most mornings; they were so sincerely grateful and it was inspiring. Feeding others is an empowering experience for me, and nourishes everyone involved: emotionally and literally.

FABULOUS OATS with BERRIES + SEEDS
[ serves three ]
Oats:
3 cups cold water
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ginger powder
1/4 cup coconut sugar or your fave sweetener
3-4 tablespoons almond butter or your fave nut butter
1/2 cup cold non-dairy milk
Toppings:
1 cup raspberries
1 cup blackberries
3-4 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
3 tablespoons chia seeds
3 tablespoons hemp seeds
To make the oats: add the oats and salt to the water and bring to a boil, then bring the heat to low and add the rest of the ingredients - except the milk. Once the oats are the consistency you like, take them off the heat and pour in the milk, it will cool it down so you can eat it right away and it makes the oatmeal even creamier! Add more of anything you want. Top with... the toppings. And enjoy! I sprinkle a lil more coconut sugar on mine because I live for sugar.
