Cindy Perfect Porridge for a Brilliant Brekkie
April 22nd 2008 08:12
Porridge is an ideal breakfast (especially on cold winter mornings!) because it provides long-lasting energy. Oats are a low GI (Glycemic Index) food, which means it takes your body longer to break down and utilise their energy. You'll also get great fibre, antioxidants and calcium from oats.
Cinnamon Porridge (4 – 6 serves)
What you need:
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups water
2 cups soy milk
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp dessicated coconut
1 Tbsp nuts or seeds (any combination of sliced almonds, sunflower seeds, ground linseed)
1 pear or 1 apple, grated
1 banana, sliced
1 Tbsp honey
What to do:
Combine oats, fruit, coconut, nuts/seeds, milk and water in a pot. Leave this mix to stand for 15 minutes, before cooking on a low heat for 20 minutes, stirring continuously. Serve with honey and banana.
