Every morning, we all want to start the day in a positive way! However, after a night disrupted by heartburn, acid reflux and other symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), mornings can become difficult, and can discourage you from eating breakfast. But breakfast is potentially the most important meal of the day! A judicious choice of foods can help relieve GERD symptoms and promote good digestion.

In this article, we give you a quick and easy reflux-friendly recipe that combines stomach-friendly ingredients rich in fibre and nutrients for a complete and tasty breakfast.

For those who have time  For those in a hurry 
1. In a saucepan, combine the oats, almond (or soya) milk, ground flaxseed and honey (if using). Heat over a medium heat.
2. Stir constantly until the oats are cooked through and the mixture has a creamy consistency.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture into a bowl.
4. Top the oats with the fresh berries, banana slices and almonds (or walnuts).
5. Serve with a cup of chamomile tea or ginger herbal tea, if you like. These infusions have soothing properties for the stomach.
1. Pour the instant oats into a microwave-safe bowl or container.
2. Add the almond milk or soya milk and mix well.
3. Heat the mixture in the microwave for the time indicated on the instant oatmeal packaging (generally 1 to 2 minutes).
4. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and add the ground flax seeds. Stir to incorporate.
5. Add the honey or maple syrup (if desired) and stir again.
6. Add the frozen berries. The hot oatmeal will thaw them quickly.
7. Slice the banana and arrange on top of the bowl.
8. Add a small handful of almonds or walnuts for a crunchy touch.
9. If you like, prepare a cup of chamomile tea or ginger herbal tea in an insulated mug to take with you.

 

This recipe includes stomach-friendly foods that are rich in fibre and nutrients. Rolled oats and ground flaxseed are rich in soluble fibre, which can help reduce stomach acid and prevent reflux. Berries are an excellent source of antioxidants and vitamin C, while bananas provide essential nutrients and soothe the stomach. Almonds or walnuts add healthy fats that can reduce inflammation.

The quick version of this recipe makes it possible to prepare a healthy, reflux-friendly breakfast in no time. If you don't have time to eat it at home, you can take it to work with you.

Even if this version is quicker, it is still advisable to take the time to eat calmly and chew your food well to promote better digestion.
