2½ cups (625ml)       coconut milk
¼ cup (60ml)              extra coconut milk, optional

Directions

1. In a medium glass mixing bowl, mix A ingredients (oats, chia seeds, goji berries and coconut milk) together. Put in the microwave oven for three minutes on high heat or until the oats have softened. Alternatively, opt for instant oats.

5. Garnish with a pinch of grated turmeric for aromatic earthy flavours.

6. Serve immediately.

TIP

When grating the turmeric, wear plastic gloves to avoid getting your fingers stained.  Wash grater immediately with warm water after use.
