Once upon a time, there was a woman named Eve, who, unable to resist the luring temptation of a fragrant orchard, took a bite of forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. Perhaps Eve was bored. Perhaps she was ovulating and had a desperate craving for something sweet. Perhaps life in the little garden was becoming stressful or claustrophobic. Perhaps she felt out of control or lacked passion in her life and in order to numb her emotions or soothe herself from Adam's lack of attention or his ambivalence in starting a family, she chose to indulge. Perhaps Eve was an emotional eater. But as Eve soon discovered, neither the bite, nor the whole fruit fulfilled her as she had hoped. Not only did she realize she was naked but that she had contempt for the way she looked. Perhaps Eve suffered with body dismorphia. Eve tried to stop eating the forbidden fruit and eventually avoided eating altogether but that didn't work and she ended up eating until she could no longer breathe. The point of this is that Eve lost her intuitive ability to nourish herself. She no longer had balance in her life and was willing to do any and everything to get that back. Zain’s Swiss Summer Oats - Ten Signature Flavours
Want a fresh summer breakfast idea? Make your own summer oats! Use one of my ten signature recipes or get inspired to make your own…
Whilst living in Switzerland on an apple and pear orchard, I learned a recipe for ‘Bircher’ or ‘Swiss’ style breakfast oats. The altitude where I lived was quite high and the summer sun would beat down on us even as early as 6am, which made the thought of a hot breakfast unbearable. It was then that I was introduced to this incredible, energy-boosting recipe made with raw oats! Nonetheless, I gave it a go and it tasted magnificent.
I have since transformed the recipe to create my very own clean version of Swiss Summer Oats and I am so excited to share my ten signature flavours with you. Feel free to let me know which of these are your favourite!
