Mint Overnight Oats – Moats are a creamy and healthy way to start your day. The color will leave your work collegeaus impressed on Saint Patrick’s Day and any other Day of the year.
I had recently set myself the challenge to get hubby to eat as many hidden ingredients, especially veggies, he doesn’t usually fancy. And let me tell you a secret. He didn’t spot the baby spinach in these moats. I definitely add this recipe to my list of how-to-make-clean-eating invisible.
Now, get those greens in with this deliciously creamy mint overnight oats. Inspired by Ohsheglows Vegan Peppermint Patty Slice I altered the recipe to make it breakfast-suitable without missing taste.
Banana, baby spinach, cashew butter, mint and almonds will give you healthy fats, protein and lots of long-lasting energy for a busy day ahead. And don’t you worry, the mint extract doesn’t give you the feeling as if you have swallowed your toothpaste.

This recipe how to make Zoats – Zucchini Lemon Oatmeal or Porridge is dedicated to my friend Domenique who fell in love with my lemon zucchini birthday cake a few years ago. At my office, people bring homemade cakes for the birthday even though it makes no sense for me. YOU have a birthday and yet you have to stand in the kitchen the night before (or in the morning like in my case) and make a cake that ideally is tasty and doesn’t cost the world. Don’t get me wrong – I love spending money on healthy ingredients and create creative and tasty dishes but for work I prefer things a little more simplistic and budget-friendly. Long story short, I made a lemon zucchini cake for work for my birthday a few years ago. It was a recipe that came up with a google search for “lemon cake few ingredients and cheap” and contained an unhealthy amount of refined sugar. For the birthday party with my beloved friends, I put a little more effort in the matter and adapted the recipe to make it more healthy and refined sugar-free. My good friend Domenique loved the cake and even took the leftovers home. And never stopped talking about the lemon zucchini cake.
Lately, she spent the night at my place after a long and fun night out. Of course, I wanted to surprise her with a breakfast she would surely love. As by nature I’m against cake for breakfast (even if it’s full of veggies and fruit such as lemon zucchini cake) I adapted the cake recipe to make it breakfast-suitable. The Zoats – Zucchini Lemon Oatmeal was born.
So, here is for you my recipe for Zoats – Zucchini Lemon Oatmeal.

Hmmm milk. Not from a living animal of course. Lately, I love experimenting with making my own plant-based milks at home (see my sesame milk for another delicious and healthy drink). it’s so much cheaper than buying in the store and saves the planet from…
I get it. Beets are not everyone’s favorite. Let me tell you one thing. Beets are not my favorite either. But I’ve found that they a super asset in the kitchen because they give a bright and velvety color to your dishes. The thing is:…
Plant-based milks tend to be a lot more expensive than cow’s milk. Considering the downsides of cow’s milk, such as adverse health effect, negative impact on greenhouse gas emissions caused by cows and of course the cruelty on dairy farms that seems odd.
Moreover, store-bought plant-based milks oftentimes contain only tiny percentages of the actual plant, be eat seeds or nuts or grains. The simple solution: Make your own milk. MYOM (not as catchy as DIY, right?)
What plant are we going for this time?
According to some grandmas, calcium can only be found in cow’s milk. The logic conclusion must thus be, that no cow’s milk = calcium deficiency.
Let’s do first things first and get over the calcium myth.
After babies are weaned from breast milk or formula, they do not need any type of milk to be healthy. Milk consumption during childhood has even been linked to colic and type 1 diabetes. Another study found no evidence that low-fat milk plays any role in preventing childhood obesity.

But back to the topic on hand, whole sesame seeds contain about 88 mg of calcium per tablespoon of seeds. Just a quarter cup of natural sesame seeds provides more calcium than a whole cup of milk.
How to integrate sesame seeds into your diet? It’s surprisingly easy:
