💜Purple Porridge!💜
I'm all about simple, tasty and in this case, beautifull food!
Although it's modelled wonderfully in my 4 year old's bowl, this is one for the whole family!
🤩My downloadable NutriCoach guide includes easy-to-follow recipes, like this one, along with easy understand, science-based Nutritional info 💜
Tag me if you try it, I love to see your creations #️⃣
Ingredients:
🚸Around 1/2 cup / 50g porridge oats per adult, 30g per child (doesn't have to be exact, you might just have to adapt the liquid accordingly)
💜Oats are unrefined carbs, they release their energy slowly as and when your body needs it, keeping you fuller for longer
🍓50-70g frozen berries (or fresh or any fruit, frozen berries are nice and easy as you can just tip them out of the bag straight into the bowl!)
💜Berries are high in vitamin C, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, helping your body fight infections and promote heart health. The fruit sugars they contain are released slower than refined white sugars too.
🌱1 TBSP chia seeds (optional)
💜These add Omega 3, which helps with brain function, tiredness and mood regulation. They're also high in fibre 💩
🚰🥛Water/ milk (any type, I used water & soya) to cover the oats and chia seeds and then some to adjust the texture after cooking
1️⃣Pour the oats, chia and water/milk into a microwavable bowl and cook for 2.5-3 mins, until the oats are cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed
2️⃣ Pour the frozen berries straight into the hot porridge and mix until well combined. You'll notice the colour will go into your porridge, turning it into purple porridge!
If your fruit is frozen then it will help cool the porridge down so you can enjoy it even quicker!
🤩 Brilliant time saver before the school run/ work🤩
3️⃣Add some milk until the porridge reaches your desired thickness and enjoy
❔What do you and your family enjoy for breakfast?
❔Do you have any quick go-tos?
