Old fashioned Porridge: a perfect breakfast

Porridge is a healthy, vegan, and gluten-free breakfast, ideal for the colder months. The topping options are endless, although my favorite is some fresh seasonal fruit.

Customize your breakkie

Porridge is a typical Scottish recipe whose main ingredients are rolled oats, water, and a pinch of salt, although there are many variations. Personally, I like to add a little non-dairy milk to give it a creamier touch. Many people also add sweeteners to it.

The best thing about porridge is that it has a fairly neutral flavor that you can customize by adding the toppings you prefer. I leave you some ideas of combinations that you can try:

• Cinnamon, strawberries and, kiwi – P1
• Apple and cacao nibs – P1
• Canned coconut milk, blueberries, and walnuts – P3
• Almond butter, raspberries, and shredded coconut – P3
• Banana and blueberries – Maintenance

Try the oat-free version

Find certified gluten-free rolled oats is every day easier, but some celiac people are sensitive to oats. If this is your case, try this recipe by changing the oat for quinoa. The result is incredible and you can enjoy your porridge whenever you want, completely risk-free.
