Statistics would suggest that February is generally the month where our new years resolutions fall by the wayside and the motivational spark that kick-started our year drops to an all time low! At Artelier, we believe that if you look good you feel good and that your hair should be at the top of your priority list for looking good.

For February, our nutrition experts, Julie and Rania at The Little Deli, Crosby have created a delicious ‘Nutty Carrot Cake Oats’ recipe that is so easy to prepare and a tasty breakfast treat.

‘We know how hard it is trying to juggle everything and getting the balance right. Eating a nutritious breakfast will help avoid snacking throughout the morning and these amazing oats can be made in small batches so you can spend 10 minutes one evening preparing and then enjoy for the next three days… could it be any easier? Not only that but the benefits to your lovely locks and scalp are massive. You know the term ‘a summer body is made in the winter?’ well the more we look after our hair now, the more silky and lustrous it will be when sunshine comes! Not long now until your locks will dazzle and shine!’

NUTTY CARROT CAKE OATS RECIPE

Ingredients

75g Porridge oats

½ carrot grated

150ml Milk (We use oat milk, but any you have or prefer is fine)

1 teaspoon of maple syrup or honey

Optional

Small handful of walnuts and pecans (don’t add if you have a nut allergy!)

½ teaspoon of chia seeds

1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt (or any alternative)

Method

WHAT DO THESE LITTLE OATS DO FOR MY HAIR?

Oats are amazing… they are literally an all-round super food for hair. They contain important minerals to help encourage healthy hair growth, such as potassium, phosphorus and magnesium. They also help in creating melanin, helping prevent hair from going grey and can help prevent hair loss!

Carrots have an abundance of vitamin A, this essential vitamin stimulates sebum production, thus helping condition your scalp and keep it in healthy condition for beautiful hair growth. Again, full of magnesium and phosphorus, that helps improve blood circulation in your scalp, which will help promote even more hair growth.

Have a Fabulous month!!!
