Overnight soaked oats and chia

I was listening to a short video on how 80% of people don't eat right. Though we have everything in our kitchen to create great food, we lack nutrients and especially micro and macro nutrients in our meals.

Most of us eat idli sambar but don't eat 50% of our foods in raw form.

I thought for a while, we don't have the habit of eating different kinds of salads as a part of our extremely evolved cusine. 

Taking few baby steps in adding more nutrition in our every day meal, I first started soaking whole moongdal,chana, peanuts and rajma, most of the time allowed it to sprout a little.

Yet we don't have the habit of eating them raw, it's always well cooked and added to different dishes.

Fruits are of course taken in raw form.

Then I started to try different dishes with very less quantity of sprouts with vegetables. 

Adding raw leaves in our salads are a great way to get the nutrition. 

Plus enjoy the seeds which are available in the kitchen, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds all have the micro nutrients we need in small quantities.

Overnight soaked oats and chia, pudding,  is a great option when you want to have low carb breakfast.

It takes a few ingredients to prepare this tasty bottle/glass of breakfast.
