We first stumbled upon @healthsquared 's challenge on this platform a few days back and we're pretty sure everyone wants a slice of that 'tasty' reward that he's offering at the end of the week. If your post doesn't get chosen this time around, maybe your next post might hit the jackpot! Just don't stop trying and keep your motivation levels high! The same also goes when it comes to having a healthy body, mind & soul. It's a constant process that needs us to be alert, motivated and always have an eye on the prize at all times!

Now, there's no shortcuts when beginning the strenuos journey in losing those extra pounds. That's the misconception of us as humans, we start exercise today and expect to have a six pack tomorrow. It sure as heck doesn't work that way because even Rome wasn't built in one day! So this six week challenge is the perfect fuel to burn the motivation bonfire! Because let's face it, in the end, whether our post wins a weekly challenge or not, the real reward is our health!

So today, we would like to share with ya'll this super easy recipe that we've conjured up ourselves! It's our humble version of the classic oat porridge! Let's get started shall we? Don't worry, it's easy as 1 2 3, promise!
