Cook Time

1Soak goji berries: Place 3 tbsp organic goji berries in a small bowl and add 3 tbsp lukewarm water. Let soak for 10 minutes. The berries will swell and become softer in texture, which benefits both the taste and digestibility. Keep the soaking water.
-
2Prepare oatmeal: Gently bring 300 ml oat milk or almond milk to a boil in a saucepan. Add 200 g oats (rolled oatflakes), 1 tsp cinnamon powder and optionally 1 tsp organic ginger powder (optional) and stir well. Let simmer on low heat for 3 to 5 minutes and stir regularly, until the oats have absorbed the milk and have a creamy consistency.

3Assemble the bowl: Scoop the oatmeal into two deep bowls. Distribute 1 ripe banana, sliced and 1 apple, cut into thin slices over the bowls. Place the soaked 3 tbsp organic goji berries on top along with a splash of soaking water: the soaking water tastes slightly sweet and berry-like and acts as a natural sauce over the bowl.

4Garnish and serve: Sprinkle 2 tbsp walnuts or almonds, roughly chopped over the bowls for extra bite and a nutty flavor. Drizzle with 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup to taste. Serve immediately.
Tips
- Variations: replace the oats with buckwheat for a gluten-free version. Add a tablespoon of chia seeds to the oatmeal while soaking for extra binding and nutrients.
- Soak goji berries: soak the goji berries the night before in 3 tablespoons of water. The berries swell up, become softer and release their sweet, berry-like flavor into the soaking water, which you can then also pour over the bowl as a light syrup.
- Color boost: add half a teaspoon of organic barley grass powder to the oatmeal for a green color and an extra vitality boost. The sweet goji berries temper the grassy taste of the barley grass.
