Ingredients:

  • 2 tea spoons chia seeds
  • 110 grams of gluten free unsweetened plan porridge
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 table spoons pumpkin seeds
  • 2 table spoons walnuts
  • 1 cup of frozen blueberries (I like Picard wild blueberries)
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (I like Rude Health Unsweetened Ultimate Almond Milk)
  • 1 organic pear washed
Toppings:
  • 1 table spoon coconut yogurt ( I like The Coconut Collaborative Vanilla Coconut Yoghurt) or if consuming dairy try organic goats or sheep milk yoghurt
  • 1 teaspoon almond butter (I like Biona Organic)
  • 4/5 washed organic raspberries
  • ½ banana

Method:

Heat up a deep dish on the hub and add the frozen blueberries, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts and water and mix in for about 5 minutes. Then add the chopped up pear and half a cup of the almond milk – continue stirring for another 2/3 minutes or until the pear has cooked a bit more and is starting to become mushy. The add all the porridge oats and the rest of the milk and cook for another 2/3 minutes. Take off the hob and add toppings of choice from the above – or all of them!
