One of my favourite things to do every day is eat breakfast.
Probably because by the time I get to it I am absolutely ravenous hungry :-)
As we all know, breakfast is the most important meal of every day. It literally sets you and your amazing body up for the whole day. Without a good, nutritious breakfast you will be at the mercy of headaches, fatigue, mood swings, and general sucky-ness.
I love smoothies because you can pack all sorts of amazing, delicious, nutrient-rich ingredients into it and you can vary the flavours accordingly.
Sometimes, especially on a cooler morning, its nice to have a change. So I invented this power porridge recipe that is packed full of delicious protein and guess what? It doesn't use a single grain of Oats. Yippee for grain-free goodness!
This mixture needs to sit for a few minutes to let all the delicious-ness be absorbed, so I usually prepare it after feeding the children their breakfast and let it "brew" while I am making up their lunchboxes for school. Perfect!
Jen's Power Porridge
You will need:
1 cup Natural Cashews
1 TBS Flaxmeal
1 TBS Chia Seed
1 Tsp Maca Powder
1 cup Almond Milk
1 squirt of Honey
Topping:
1/4 cup Pepita
1/4 cup dried Currants
small sprinkle of shredded Coconut
- Blitz the cashews until finely chopped.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Add milk and honey, stir through.
- Set aside for 10-20mins.
- Top with Pepitas, Currants and shredded Coconut.
- Enjoy!
NB: If you prefer your porridge hot, feel free to microwave it but you may need more Almond Milk as the Cashews and chia are very absorbent.
