Paleo Porrige, Well..... Almost

I created this healthy breakfast after experimenting with lots of different varieties of porridge over the years. I now feel like I have created the perfect breakfast for the active lifestyle. The porridge is high in protein and good fats and has its complex carbs to keep the energy levels up. Its fair to say it has its calories however for the person with an active lifestyle it will fill you up and supply you with energy for all morning!

The recipe couple not be more simple:

Equal Parts: 
oats (gluten free optional)
ground almonds
desecrated coconut (the one without sugar added)
Lindwoods milled flax, sunflower, pumpkin, seseme seed & goji berries. www.linwoodshealthfoods.com/uk/shop/milled-flaxseed-sunflower-pumpkin-and-sesame-seeds-and-goji-berries.html

I mix this into a big Tupperware container which lasts a few weeks. Then every evening i soak a bowl of the mixture with water over night. Soaking enables your body to break down the mixture more efficiently extracting more nutrients. Its always good to soak your nuts! ; )

In the morning you can then either microwave for 2-3 mins or cook the mixture in a pan.

Personally I then like to stir in a spoon full of crunchy organic peanut butter to the finished mix and top with blueberries and raspberries. This adds the perfect balance of sweetness.
