EASY ENERGY PORRIDGE


This has been my basic go-to porridge recipe for quite some time now and I can't believe I haven't shared it with you guys sooner. It's just one of those staple things you make all the time that you never really think about being 'special' - oh but it is! This porridge is easy to make and full of goodness. 

Oats are high in complex carbohydrates and soluble fibre, meaning they release energy slowly so you’ll stay full until lunchtime. It also contains flaxseed (rich in fibre and Omega-3), along with super nutrient packed chia seeds. What a way to start the day! I always feel fantastic after a helping of this, it literally sets me up for the day.



Ingredients (Serves 1):

- 40g gluten free oats
- 1 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 200ml almond milk

Optional topping:

Fruit and nut butter of choice. My favourite combo has to be coconut sugar, raspberries and almond butter.


Instructions:

1.) Place the oats in a saucepan and pour in the almond milk. Next add the chia seeds and flaxseed meal to the pan.

2.) Stir then warm through on a high then medium heat for around 5mins, or until chia seeds have softened.
