Hello veggie lovers! I realized that I did not eat enough veggies last week, so I tried something totally new and crazy: veggies for breakfast. Being German usually means that I enjoy a sweet breakfast more than a savory, so I never really thought about adding vegetables to my morning oatmeal. Until the other day, when I had some grated carrots left from the salad I had the night before. I simply added them to my oatmeal with some cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, honey and toated walnuts, and I was in carrot cake heaven!Carrot Cake Oatmeal - plant-based, vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free - heavenlynnhealthy.com

I never knew that vegetables for breakfat tasted so amazing!

Having carrots for breakfast is also extremely healthy. They are a great beta carotene source, a Provitamin that is turned to Vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is vital for a healthy vision and an overall healthy immune system. Adding some grated carrots to your oatmeal is an easy way to increase your beta carotene intake already early in the morning.

All you need to do is add your grated carrots to your oats, almond milk and a few of spices and let it cook for a couple of minutes. The carrots add a lovely sweetness to the oatmeal, and literally make your breakfast taste like carrot cake. Carrot cake is probably my all-time favorite cake in the entire world, so there you go. You’re very welcome that you now have an excuse to have cake for breakfast that even strengthens your eyesight.Carrot Cake Oatmeal - plant-based, vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free - heavenlynnhealthy.com
