Sweet n' Salty Breakfast Porridge

@ohmmyyoga

I love making porridge in the mornings because it takes no time at all and it's super healthy.

I've been making it for my daughter a lot lately because nothing I seem to give her fills her up. Porridge has been working a treat, so I've been making it for both of us, with a few minor tweaks. 

This recipe is MY version, the adult version! At the bottom of the post I will share my ten month old daughter's version for those of you looking for baby breakfast inspo! 

What we're working with & WHY

Walnuts:  omega-3 fatty acids , antioxidants, manganese and copper
Chia seeds:  omega-3 fatty acids , antioxidants, fibre, iron, calcium 
Whole-grain rolled oats:  carbs, fibre, and protein 
Banana:  potassium, calcium, iron and folate 
Dark Chocolate 70-85% cacao:  antioxidants


Sweet n' Salty Breakfast Porridge
Serves 1 hungry Mama + a lil extra for bubby

Ingredients

1 cups of rolled oats
1/2 banana
1 Tbls chia seeds
​Dark Chocolate chips (or cacao nibs) 
Walnuts 
​* Optional: Shredded organic coconut 


Method

Cook the oats on the stovetop, per the directions on the box
Serve in a bowl and top with the sliced banana, a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips, chia seeds and walnuts. Enjoy immediately.

To make the baby version, spoon some of the cooked oats into a small bowl, and add 1 TBS of chia seeds and 1/2 a banana smashed or cut in small, bite-size pieces
* No walnuts or chocolate chips *
Then I add two heaped tablespoons of organic natural yogurt as well as baby DHA from Nordic Naturals.
