Courgette and Oats = Zoats

This is the most basic idea yet is super tasty, will keep you full for a nice, long time and can be done in SO many different ways. So, basically, go grab a courgette!

I specifically like pro-zoats; adding a bit more protein in to my meal to keep me satisfied for even longer.

The basic recipe:

- half a grated courgette,

- a serving of oats (change this to suit your needs; I use Nutriseed Superfood oats and they are delicious),

- a teaspoon of cinnamon,

- 250ml of liquid (I, more often than not, use water),

To make pro-zoats add in:

- a scoop of protein of choice,

- egg whites (I use two chicks products)

To make the basic recipe, combine all of the ingredients and microwave until they are of a nice, thick consistency (around 3 minutes).

If using egg whites, add the whites in after 2 minutes, mix, and microwave for a further minute. Then, when ready, stir in the protein powder and eat.

Different flavour options:

1. Chai Spiced; simply add in cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, ginger and cardomon to your mix. I've topped it with a plum compote.

2. Chocolate zoats; add in some nutriseed Cacao powder and cacao nibs,

3. Beetroot and Vanilla zoats; grate in some raw beetroot when you grate in the courgette and add in vanilla essence.

4. Simple cinnamon:
