"Please Sir, Can I Have Some More..?"



That's nawt how you make porridge...
This, however, is !!

What could be more nourishing than a bowl of organic rolled oats, a touch of quinoa, and an abundance of superfoods, cooked to perfection upon the stove?

The best way to start your day...
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup quinoa
3 dates (torn up) or sultanas
1 heaped tsp cinnamon powder
Bon Soy, Oat/Almond/Rice milk as desired

1/2 banana chopped
1 heaped tsp Chia
1 heaped tsp LSA (linseed, sunflower, almond meal)
1 heaped tsp pepitas
Manuka honey (to taste)

Start by placing a saucepan on the stove at low heat. Add quinoa and oats, cover with 2 cups of water and place lid on top to fasten cooking time.
After 10minutes, remove lid, check if quinoa has expanded (tails appear), and begin stirring to avoid the mix sticking to the base.

Add dates and cinnamon. Followed by milk (as desired) depending on the consistency you prefer - the more milk and the longer the cooking time, the creamier your oats will be!

When ready, pour the mixture into a deep bowl, and add the sliced banana, chia, pepitas, and LSA. Last, but not least, add manuka honey to taste! Leaving this to the end will ensure you do not destroy the beneficial anti-bacterial properties of this amazing product.

* Walnuts or almonds are also a delicious addition if you like some crunch with your smooth porridge!

This amazing start to your day will ensure you have the adequate fibre, protein and essential fatty acids your body requires along with multiple other essential nutrients (namely Zinc, Magnesium and Calcium).
