Exciting Porridge

i love porridge. here's what i like.

1. cook the porridge with a pinch of salt (trust me, it makes a difference). and use rolled oats, not quick cooking oats. much better for you and they taste great.
2. porridge with some skim milk and a couple of teaspoons of brown sugar. add some of your favourite nuts if you like.
3. porridge with honey, blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, raspberries etc. and some nuts.
4. i also make bircher muesli for breakfast every day. i put enough oats for three or four days in a pot, add water to cover, add some sultanas, cinnamon, nutmeg, some vanilla protein powder (not too much). put it in the fridge overnight (it will last around four days). i have it with natural yogurt and sometimes some walnuts as well. you could use some milk as well as water instead of just water. and add fruit as you wish. it's around 350 calories for a serving with 2/3 of a cup of oats. it's super easy to tansport to work in a tupperware container.

hope this helps!

Chop a banana or diced apple in the bottom of the bowl, add 1 cup quick cooking oats and water to cover.
Microwave for @ 3 -4 mins and top with liquid honey.
I used to add soy milk on top but now prefer to make it runnier and no milk at all...yum.
Extremely low fat and @ alot of bang for the 350 cals.

I've been making poached apple to go in my porridge

Just diced up peeled apple, put in a pot with a couple of spoons of water. Under low/med heat, cook until soft. I add no sugar at all and the stuff taste great! Put a big spoon of it in my porridge in the morning, sprinkle with cinnamon, add of small spoon of honey if you need to sweeten it.

I didn't like porridge before as I thought it was quick sickly, until i try cooking it with water instead of milk. Then i add a spoon of milk in after it cooks.

Number 4 sounds amazing, I'll be trying this

I'm making a large pot right now to eat for the week. It has 3 cups of chopped apples, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp salt and 2 cups of steel cut oats. Mix with 6 cups of water and cook in the crockpot on low for 6-8 hours. Then I store in individual portions in the fridge. To reheat mix with1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk and microwave until warm. Like eating apple crisp for breakfast.
