Tahini & Apple Oatmeal

This content was last updated on June 3, 2022

Breakfast is a wonderful meal—regardless of the time of day you choose to eat it. The apples (with their peels) and the oats are great sources of fiber. The tahini provides protein to keep you full longer, plus more vitamins and minerals. This salty-sweet, dairy-free porridge is great if you’re experiencing constipation, as it will get things moving. It’s also gentle on your system when you’re feeling queasy from treatment.
