When it comes to championing healthy eating that actually tastes good, Lucy Kenefick, nutritionist and founder of Nume Collective, is leading the charge in Cork. Known for her holistic approach to wellness and her local roots as co-founder of Obodo Gym, Lucy blends nutrition, movement, and education into everything she does, with real food at the heart of it all. Her philosophy is simple: eat foods as close to nature as possible.
“If it flew, grazed the earth, swam in the sea, grew from a tree or in the ground, then it’s probably ok to eat,” Lucy says.
And that philosophy comes to life in every recipe she shares, like her now-signature Scrambled Oats – yes we thought that was a typo when we heard about it first. This tasty dish is a warm, pan-fried breakfast that mimics the texture of scrambled eggs using oats, banana, egg, and a touch of spice.
Golden on the outside, soft in the middle, and packed with fibre and protein, this dish is a perfect example of Lucy’s food-first approach to health: it’s wholesome, energising, and yes delicious enough to win over the whole family.
“A healthy breakfast or brunch can be just as tasty as it is nutritious,” Lucy insists. “I challenge anyone to make this and not enjoy it!”
It’s a quick, satisfying option for busy Cork families or anyone looking to fuel their morning without reaching for ultra-processed alternatives.
Whether you’re prepping brunch at home in or grabbing a quick breakfast before hitting the gym, Lucy’s scrambled oats will keep you energised and satisfied for hours.
