Low Inflammation Oatmeal Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any other non-dairy milk you prefer)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrients)
• A pinch of salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon (great for flavor and anti-inflammatory properties)

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, combine rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds (if using), salt, and cinnamon.

3. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are creamy and cooked to your desired consistency.
4. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit for a minute.
5. Serve your oatmeal warm and top with your favorite low inflammation toppings, like berries, bananas, nut butter, and honey or syrup if desired.

Low Inflammation Diet Friendliness

• Gluten-Free Rolled Oats: Ensure the oats are labeled gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination, as some oats can have gluten.
• Nutrient-Dense Toppings: Adding fruits like berries and bananas provides antioxidants and vitamins without causing inflammation.
• Chia Seeds: These add fiber and omega-3s, which are anti-inflammatory.
• Almond Milk: A good dairy alternative that’s very gentle on the stomach.

This oatmeal recipe is adaptable, so you can omit or modify the toppings based on your tastes and dietary needs. Enjoy your inflammation-friendly oatmeal! If you have other questions or need further modifications, just let me know!
