Banana and Cinnamon 'Zoats'

In case you're still wondering what 'Zoats' are exactly... It's basically a cross between oats and zucchini- or courgette as we call them in the UK! (So really we should technically call them 'Coats' over here... :-/). I love them for three main reasons 1. They're super healthy and packed with fiber and other great micronutrients 2. You get in a portion of veg without even realising! 3. The courgette adds loads of volume (big volume eater over here!) making it seem like you're eating more than you actually are - so they're great for when you're trying to controll portion sizes or 'dieting'! ;)

Ingredients:

100g grated courgette

40g jumbo whole rolled oats

1 scoop Reflex Natural Vanilla Whey*

1 scoop Reflex Baniffe Pie whey*

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Topping pictured: Nuts n' More cinnamon almond butter

1. Add the courgette and oats to a pan and pour in some cold water (around 1-2 cm above the mixture)

2. Bring to the boil then reduce down to a simmer, add cinnamon, then let the oats cook and courgette soften for a minute or so

3. Once oats have absorbed most of the water, take of the heat and briskly stir in the whey until thoroughly combined

4. Pour into a bowl and top with any nut butters/dried or fresh fruit/nuts/seeds you fancy! 

*As an optional replacement for the whey or of you want some extra fluffiness, you could use an egg or egg whites for an extra boost of protein. Just stir it in right at the end (as with the whey)- but do it really quickly so it doesnt turn into scramble! The egg will also make the oats super nice and fluffy!
