Key Ingredients for Radiant Skin:

Mushrooms: All fungi are a powerhouse for gut health, rich in prebiotics that nourish beneficial bacteria. A balanced gut can lead to clearer skin, reducing breakouts and enhancing overall complexion.

Lime Juice: Known for its detoxifying properties, lime supports liver function, essential for skin health. A well-functioning liver helps eliminate toxins, reducing inflammation and promoting a vibrant, youthful appearance.

Avocado: This creamy fruit is loaded with healthy fats and vitamins E and C, vital for skin repair and hydration. The healthy fats also aid in maintaining skin elasticity, contributing to a supple glow.

Almonds or Tahini Paste: These ingredients enhance creaminess while providing essential nutrients. Almonds are rich in vitamin E, which protects the skin from oxidative stress, while tahini offers calcium and healthy fats for overall skin health.

Miso Paste: This fermented ingredient introduces beneficial probiotics to your digestive system, promoting gut health and contributing to a radiant complexion.


Instructions

Prepare the Oats: In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the jumbo oats and add salt to taste. Simmer for about 5 minutes, then add almond milk and stir occasionally.

Add Creaminess: For added creaminess, stir in a tablespoon of almond, tahini, or peanut butter.

Sauté Aromatics: Heat a pan over medium heat, drizzle in olive oil, and sauté the diced onion and garlic until translucent.

Cook the Mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook until they brown and release their moisture.

Prepare the Miso: In a separate bowl, mix the brown rice miso paste with water and lemon juice. Pour this mixture into the pan with the mushrooms and stir well.

Serve: Slice the ripe avocado and serve it on top of your mushroom porridge.
