Spiced oat and coconut porridge

Blackmores Smart Heart is a natural oat bran powder rich in oat betaglucan. A daily serve (14 g) delivers 3 g betaglucan which, when consumed as part of a healthy diet that is low in saturated fats, helps to reduce cholesterol.

The added cinnamon and ginger are both warming spices which may help to stimulate your circulation and get your blood pumping. It’s an ‘all system go!’ kind of meal and the perfect way to start your morning.

Whip this up in a matter of minutes and look after your body from the inside out.
