Almond and Chia Porridge.

Anyone else craving something warm for breaky on these cool mornings? But also wants something that is easy, nutritious, high in protein and won't send your blood sugars sky rocketing? I think I have the answer…

This porridge is loaded with fibre and micronutrients, it is high in protein and well balanced with healthy fats and carbohydrates. This is the perfect combination of nutrients to nourish you and keep your blood sugars stable. The cinnamon gives it a nice flavour without needing added sugar. Hope you like it!

Serves 2-3

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup chia seeds

• 1/3 cup rolled oats

• 1/3 cup almond meal

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 2 cups milk (to keep the protein high, I recommend full fat diary milk. You can also add some whey from your yoghurt)

Method

• Put all ingredients in a container and mix to combine. Cover and place in the fridge overnight.

• When ready to cook, place the soaked mixture into a pot and simmer on low for 5 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Stir occasionally while cooking to prevent it sticking on the bottom, and add some extra milk if it is too dry.

• Serve with your preferred toppings.
