Hi, I’m Shelley, a health coach, yoga teacher and ayurvedic enthusiast. I live in New Zealand and it’s winter here at the moment, so I’m craving a warm nourishing breakfast like porridge to start my digestive fire in the morning.
I make the base of this recipe (oats, chia, cinnamon, milk) most days and mix up the flavors and toppings depending on what I have handy. Sometimes it’s turmeric spiced with raisins and flaked almonds, sometimes it’s cooked apples and vanilla protein.
This perfect porridge recipe is a good balance of carbs (oats), protein (protein powder), and fat (nut butter) to keep you satisfied till lunchtime.
Serving Size: x1
Tips:
- Any dairy or non dairy milk will work, there is more protein in cow’s milk but if it doesn’t agree with you try oat, coconut, almond or soy.
- Don’t cook your protein powder and cacao, add it in at the end
- I use plant protein as I find whey makes my skin breakout, so if you choose to do this add a little water when you mix it in to help it blend
- This is just as delicious with any nut butter, especially peanut butter. I am trying to reduce my Ayurvedic dosha Pitta so eating less peanuts.
Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (I use oat)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp cacao
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Top with:
- ½ cup raspberries
- 1 tbsp almond butter
