Healthy Protein Porridge (DF,GF)

Hi, welcome or welcome back to my blog- today I wanted to share my favourite breakfast recipe! Protein porridge. This is honestly my go to breakfast, because it’s quick, delicious, full of fibre and low GMI, so you will feel full for a long time. It is a great pre or post workout breakfast. I hope you enjoy. Obviously you can alter this to taste.

Ingredients:

Seed mix- containing linseeds, pumpkin seeds, goji berries etc- I find seed mixes are much cheaper and quicker than buying them all individually, which is also less accessible. These sort of seed mixes tend to be located in the baking or gluten free aisle- even if you aren’t gluten free there are some really nice, organic, whole foods in these sections of the supermarket.

Gluten free rolled oats

A drizzle of honey

Frozen berries- yet again this is much cheaper and lasts longer than fresh berries

Chia seeds- I know I mentioned the seed mix before, but chia seeds aren’t included in the one I use so I sprinkle some chia seeds on top

Cacao nibs- these aren’t always accessible, but I found some the other day and tried them with my porridge and LOVED THEM- they add a really nice crunch, but they really aren’t that crucial

Almond milk or water- depending on the type of consistency you want for your porridge

Method:

I never used to use water, but recently I love just mixing my oats with water instead of milk- the amount you use is really up to you- if you like it more liquidy add more liquid is my only advice- I fill up the bowl of oats with water, just so that the water covers the oats, but I like mine quite thick! You can put it in a pan and cook it, but personally I like to pop mine in the microwave on full power for 2 minutes, and I find that is perfect for me.

Then I mix through the honey and frozen berries, so they are mixed throughout the porridge. Finally I top my porridge with all the other ingredients!

Thank you so much for reading this blog post- I hope it inspired you to try some healthy porridge. I would really appreciate it if you share any suggestions or ideas for me in the comment section and it would mean the world to me if you liked or shared my post. Thanks again!
