On some cold winter mornings, I’ll reach for some oats and make a cooked breakfast of porridge to eat with a freshly blended green juice.

Health benefits:

• Oats are incredibly nutritious with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants

• Oats contain a powerful soluble fibre that helps lower cholesterol and move food through the digestive tract
