Dr. Avanti’s Almond Butter Oatmeal
Oatmeal is an easy breakfast to make when you’re in a hurry. By adding almond butter, you not only get added fiber and flavor, you also get protein and healthy fats to fuel you all morning. This is my go-to breakfast a few times a week—especially right now when it’s below zero temperatures in Chicago. According to Ayurveda, the qualities of oats are sweet, warm, heavy and moist. Thus they counter-balance symptoms caused by increased air/space (Vata) and symptoms caused by increased fire/water (Pitta).
