Banana porridge
My daughter's favourite breakfast.

Nothing fancy. Just real food with a good blend of protein, healthy fat and fibre to start the day. Kid approved, especially when they help make it. It's gluten free too if you use gluten free oats.
The recipe
Serves 1 to 2 · Metric, with cups in brackets- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 240ml (1 cup) water
- A dash of cinnamon and/or freshly grated nutmeg
- A pinch of sea salt
- 25g (¼ cup) rolled oats
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 tbsp chia seedsdon't skip these, they give the best texture
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- A splash of full fat milkoptional
Put the banana, water, spices and salt in a small pan and bring to a gentle boil.
Stir in the oats, hemp, chia and flaxseed.
Simmer until most of the water is absorbed and the oats are soft and creamy.
For extra creaminess, turn the heat to low and stir in a splash of milk.
My Nourish3 Method is simple: protein, healthy fat and fibre whenever you eat. The seeds bring protein, healthy fat and lots of fibre. For more protein, top with a big spoon of Greek yoghurt or stir in a spoon of nut butter.
