Healthy, because
Oat flakes provide the body with important dietary fibre, are satiating for a long time thanks to
complex carbohydrates and can also lower cholesterol levels. Amaranth is rich in iron - the trace element is important for blood formation and oxygen transport in the body and is often neglected, especially by plant lovers. Blueberries supply the body with vitamin C and E. These vitamins belong to the antioxidants and can therefore catch free radicals and strengthen the immune system.
Even smarter
You can also prepare the almond porridge with blueberries as a vegetarian dish
. Simply replace 300 millilitres of almond drink with cow's milk. You can also vary blueberries, amaranth and oat flakes and use other seasonal fruit, quinoa and spelt flakes instead.
