This is another clean eating recipe that is a booster for your favorite breakfast power meal - oatmeal bowls! Give your favorite porridge bowl a boost using aromatic chai, opt for black tea and not the sweetened ones please. Add in berries and coconuts for added texture that'll play awesomely with your taste buds ;)

Here's what you need:

2 chai tea bags, black or herbal ones
1 1/2 cups steel-cut oats
2 bananas, cut into cubes
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup berries of your choice

What you need to do:
