Hello guys, I'm back with food photography again. Today I'll gonna feature some healthy oats recipes I made myself good for breakfast and snacks. All are steamed not baked, eggless, gluten and lactose free. These recipes are suitable for vegans.
I have gluten and lactose intolerance. So when making snacks, I made sure not to use milk and high gluten flour.
Oats is a healthy food loaded with nutrients which will give you sufficient amount of fiber and protein and other nutrients necessary for your daily needs. That's why I love eating oats in many ways.
So let's start with,
1. Healthy Oats with Red Dates, Chia Seeds and Green Barley juice.
Chia seeds are packed with massive amount of nutrients with very few calories. It is loaded with antioxidants. Almost all carbs there are fiber and also high in protein which helps in losing weight. It is also high in Omega-3 fatty acids.
Meanwhile, Red Dates are also high in fiber and protein. It promotes brain health and natural labor. It is as well a natural sweetener.

You might notice it's color green, because I used barley juice instead of plain water.
Barley Juice is also rich of antioxidants. It reduces toxic build up in the body. It also improves skin health and elasticity, supports immune system and as rejuvenating effect in our body.
Btw, I took a bite first before taking the photo because I was excited to taste it 😂.
The next one is,
2. Banana-oats muffins
This is no egg and milk muffins. I used coconut sugar here and vegetable oil which are good for healthy diet.
Coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index than regular table sugar. Also contains minerals iron, zinc, calcium and potassium, along with some short-chain fatty acids like polyphenols and antioxidants.
Vegetable oil is often labeled "heart-healthy" and recommended as an alternative to sources of saturated fat.
Meanwhile, Banana is a respectable source of potassium, manganese and vitamin C. It can aid digestion and give energy – minus the fats and cholesterol.
3. Oats with Purple Sweet Potato and Chia seeds
Purple Sweet Potatoes are a good source of potassium and fiber, and high in B6, vitamin C, and antioxidants. Additionally, they have a low glycemic index2, which is why sweet potatoes (of any variety) are often preferred for diabetic diets.
4. Oats with almond and other nuts
Nuts are great source of fiber, high in protein and antioxidants. It also lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholestero and reduce risk of heart disease. Nuts will help you feel full and aid in weight loss. It also contain valuable nutrients, such as magnesium, copper and vitamin E.
5. Oats cookies
This is a vegan cookies topped with sesame seeds
Sesame seeds have health and beauty benefits. It triggers hair growth with anti-ageing properties. It also boosts skin, bone and dental health. Among all, sesame seeds are good source of energy and energtabilizes your blood pressure.
You don't need to buy expensive ingredients just to satisfy your cravings. A simple oats will make your tummy full and loads with nutrients. If you're bored with simple oats porridge, why not make a twist for a yummier and healthy oats recipes.
A simple bowl of oats topped with your preferred fruits is incredibly nutritious.
Healthy heart, healthy life.
Do you know?
Chia seeds is an alternative to eggs in making cakes. Just take one tablespoon of chia seeds, and place them in a small bowl or cup. Add 3 tablespoons of water, and wait for about 5 minutes, until it becomes a gel. Then go ahead and use it in your recipe, just as you would a regular egg.
Hope you like it and hope you learn health facts.
