There's something deliciously nourishing about porridge. I have it literally every morning in winter after my morning workout. It's filling and warming, packed with healthy whole grain oats that keeps me full until mid-morning. It can go sweet or savoury too, which is perfect because I'm usually torn on that morning dilemma.
This recipe is for those people who are totally undecided about their topping game. Fruit, nuts, seeds, coconut, herbs and spices - I don't think I could possibly jam anything else on there. I've been recently LOVING the new macro Five Grain Porridge available only at Woolworths Supermarkets - it's more nutty in flavour which lends itself well to winter flavours like cinnamon and earthy chocolate. SO GOOD. The barley, oats, rye, triticale and brown rice and also ace for your fibre intake too.
INGREDIENTS:
- 30g Macro Five Grain Porridge
- 1/2 cup water
- 1./2 tsp vanilla essence (optional)
Garnish:
- 1 x square 90% dark chocolate
- 2 cherries
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 1 tsp macro Organic cacao nibs
- 2 tbsp macro Organic Nuts raw almonds
- 1 tsp macro Organic Crunchy Peanut Butter
- 1 tbsp macro Organic Coconut Flakes
METHOD:
Over a medium heat, add the water and grains to saucepan.
Head for 5-8 minutes, stirring regularly, until the oats reach your favourite consistency. I like mine a little less thick, so I cook for less time.
Stir in vanilla (if using) and serve into a bowl.
Add ALL the toppings your heart desires.
