Pimp your Porridge

If you listened to my interview with Kaye Adams on BBC Radio Scotland recently you'll have heard me recommending how she should add almond butter to her morning porridge for protein. Here are a few other ways to pimp your porridge and stay fuller for longer. 

Swap the sugary, processed and over-priced 'two-minute porridge pots' for your own two-minute porridge pot filled with your favourite toppings. Porridge is nicest on the stove but if you're in a hurry these can be made in two minutes in the microwave and you won't pay a premium for the plastic packaging. 

What you'll need:
  • 1 deep breakfast cereal bowl
  • 30-50g porridge oats (I favour Flahavan's porridge oats, they taste better or maybe they just remind me of home... Any porridge oats will do)
  • Water (I do roughly equal parts oats to water (maybe just slightly more water), if you prefer a thinner consistency add more)
  • Splash of organic soy milk

Porridge Toppings
Here's a few of my favourite ways to pimp my porridge:
  • Stewed apple, cinnamon and a sprinkling of shelled hemp seeds
  • Pumpkin seeds, ground flaxseeds and 1 teaspoon St. Dalfour sugar free raspberry jam
  • 1 tsp. almond butter and sliced banana 
  • Banana flavour: add a few slices of banana to the oats before cooking. Sprinkle with flaked almonds and coconut on serving. 
  • Pink porridge: add a 3-4 frozen raspberries to the oats before cooking (dyes your porridge a wonderful pink colour). Stir in 1 teaspoon almond butter on serving

How to make porridge
  1. Add oats and water to bowl
  2. Microwave for 1minute 30 seconds
  3. Stir
  4. Microwave for a further 20-30 seconds
  5. Remove from microwave, add a splash of soy milk and stir
  6. Select toppings of choice and eat immediately 

Porridge is just as easily made on the hob the old fashioned way!

Not a fan of porridge? Try making this delicious, protein rich banana bread for breakfast instead.
