Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Grain-Free: Instead of traditional oats, this porridge is made from Brazil nuts. Brazil nuts are one of the most energy-dense, nutritious nuts that also happen to be one of the most concentrated forms of the mineral selenium. (Just one brazil nut boasts 96 mcg—which is 175% of the RDI.) Selenium is an essential mineral for the health of your thyroid, immune system, and cells (1).
- Nutrient Dense: Apples are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C and come with a variety of health benefits, including maintenance of blood sugar, type 2 diabetes, and cholesterol (2, 3, 4).
- Boosts 7 Grams of Collagen: Collagen peptides are considered the “glue” that hold the body together. Containing 19 of the 20 amino acids, collagen peptides provide strength and support to bones, joints, hair, skin, nails, and more (5).
Here’s What You Need
- High-Speed Blender: To turn the Brazil nuts into a creamy porridge consistency.
- Apples: To add a sweet, refreshing crunch with the added bonus of fiber and antioxidants.
- Brazil Nuts: To provide a grain-free base for the porridge plus a healthy dose of selenium for your thyroid and immune health.
