- 2 Handfuls Spinach
- 1 tbsp Sunflower Seeds
Instructions

- Top the cooked oats with the mushrooms and spinach and scatter the sunflower seeds on top.
Notes
Porridge need not be sweet – start your day with a bowl full of immune supporting oats. The polysaccharides, more notably b-Glucans, in the Shiitake mushrooms and the oats stimulate and trigger immunological responses.
Spinach is high in vitamin A and C which are both crucial nutrients for immune health.
I used fresh shiitake mushrooms but dried work just as well. Just rehydrate them acording to the packet instructions in advance.
