Fruity Porridge Bowl
There are two kinds of breakfasts I like most in this world. Doesn’t matter the season or if I’m travelling, I will never say no to avocados... but sometimes I need a breakfast that is going to cozy-me-up from the inside - a good bowl of porridge (or oatmeal, if you prefer to call it like that).
This recipe has 4 ingredients that you can mix and match based on what you have in your pantry. If you are not a fan of pecans or walnuts, use hazelnuts or any kind of nuts you have at hand.
Oats have so many health benefits, but to list 3 of the most important ones:
Makes you feel fuller for longer - oats have soluble fiber, delaying stomach emptying;
Lowers cholesterol - the fiber binds with the cholesterol and lowers its levels;
Protects against strokes - scientific studies are supporting that we should eat 25 grams of soluble fiber and 47 grams of insoluble fiber to prevent strokes.
Porridge is a staple in our kitchen and I have it almost daily in the morning. It’s so easy to make and so filling.
