Sprouted Oatmeal & Stoneground Almond Butter

Sometimes it's the simplest things that bring an abundance of pleasure. For me lately, this has been my cozy bowl of sprouted oatmeal in the morning. After being on an anti-inflammatory autoimmune protocol for the past six months, as soon as the season changed, my body started craving oatmeal. Something that I haven't eaten in years. And it's been incredible re-introducing it. So nourishing, bloods sugar stabilizing, and it gives me energy for hours! I really can't tell you how this basic bowl brings me so much ritual and joy each morning. I slowly make it in my morning cozy sweater, with mantras playing. I look forward to this ritual every morning!
