Raspberry Almond Baked Oats

Raspberry Almond Baked Oats

Raspberry Almond Baked Oats Happy New Year! Hope you enjoyed the holidays. I definitely needed to take a couple of days out to recover. 2018 was intense for me, especially the last two months. But overall it's been good to me and for that I'm thankful. Like many others around this time of year, I let myself go and ate whatever I wanted! Lots of chocolate, gluten and even some dairy. It's really hard staying dairy and gluten-free around the holidays with all the festive celebrations and family get togethers. I used to be more strict with what I ate at Christmas and New Year's gatherings. It was stressful and uncomfortable being the only odd one out refusing to eat [...]

Blueberry Nectarine Baked Porridge

Blueberry Nectarine Baked Porridge

Blueberry Nectarine Baked Porridge If you're looking for new and fun breakfast ideas that you can prepare in advance and enjoy fuss free on a busy morning, then you need to try this blueberry nectarine baked porridge recipe! Now that the weather is finally getting colder, my breakfasts are now changing from frozen smoothie bowls to porridge and my new favourite, baked porridge! Or baked oatmeal as it's known in other parts of the world. I'm finding myself craving warm breakfasts more and more. And I know once the UK winter kicks in, I'll say goodbye to my smoothie bowls for good (well, until next spring!), as I welcome bowls of comforting, stodgy oats. One of the things I really miss about winter [...]

Blueberry Protein Buckwheat Pudding

Blueberry Protein Buckwheat Pudding

Blueberry Protein Buckwheat Pudding I keep going through phases when it comes to what breakfast I crave in the morning. Sometimes I'll have smoothies every single day for two weeks straight, other times you'll find me warming myself up with cosy bowls of porridge, but right now it's all about the buckwheat pudding! I have shared a buckwheat 'porridge' recipe a couple of years ago (find recipe here), but then all of a sudden I stopped making it. I haven't added buckwheat groats to my shopping list in like forever and I think that's why I fell out of making them, but now buckwheat puddings are back baby and they're here to stay! If you like thick smoothies, you'll love buckwheat puddings! It's [...]

Plum Hazelnut Porridge

Plum Hazelnut Porridge

Plum Hazelnut Porridge You know it's autumn when your Instagram and Pinterest feed is jam-packed with endless images of pumpkin recipes, Halloween treats and porridge. Lots and lots of porridge! Not that I would ever complain about an abundance of porridge posts. After all I basically live of porridge during the cooler autumn months and definitely once winter kicks in. There is nothing more comforting and satisfying than a bowl of warm oats with a HUGE mug of tea on a chilly morning. It's so much more difficult to get out of bed in the morning when A) it's still pitch black outside B) it's so cold and C) your bed is so lovely and warm! I already struggle getting out of [...]

Lentil Porridge Recipe

Lentil Porridge Recipe

Beans and lentils don't get the credit they deserve. Many avoid them because they have a bad reputation of causing digestive discomfort, but just like with any food, a few people can't tolerate them but most can! If you're a vegetarian or a vegan...

Nut butters can be such a life saver in the morning. They're a great go-to option, especially on those days when you need something quick or can't be bothered thinking of something to make but still want to eat something healthy. They're a great source of vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and protein to start your day off right. They're also a great addition to porridge.

Chocolate Porridge Recipe (Vegan, Gluten-free)

Chocolate Porridge Recipe (Vegan, Gluten-free)

Chocolate for breakfast, who could say no to that? I love porridge, and adding chocolate can only make it taste that much more delicious. I'm sure you would all agree with me! However, just because this recipe has the word 'chocolate' in its title it does not mean it's not healthy, in fact, it's the opposite. Full of good carbs, natural sweeteners, good fats and antioxidants. This chocolate porridge recipe only takes 10 minutes to make (because who has more than 10 minutes to prepare breakfast!)

Banana, Date & Almond Buckwheat Porridge

Banana, Date & Almond Buckwheat Porridge

If you're familiar with the concept of overnight oats, buckwheat porridge is similar but with a slight twist. Buckwheat is one of those ingredients that not may people are familiar with, outside the health community of course! You can now easily get hold of buckwheat as it's available in most supermarkets and online. I've also noticed more and more brands adding it to their granola, muesli and snack bars.

How to Make Healthy Porridge (Video)

How to Make Healthy Porridge (Video)

I filmed a short video showing you how to make healthy porridge - all you need is oats, some form of liquid and a pan! Typically when I make porridge I would add some cinnamon to flavour, a mashed banana, some dried fruit (dates and raisins are my favourote!) for some natural sweetness and some nuts, seeds or nut butter for some healthy fats and a bit of crunch. To top it off, i like to add some fresh fruit, berries and whatever else I fancy on that particular day.
