Temperatures are dropping, the weather is gloomy and wet and we want nothing less than having to get out of bed. Fight the winter blues with some delicious, healthy and comforting porridge recipes.
Porridge might not be the sexiest breakfast when you compare it with elaborate a shakshuka, decadent eggs Benedict or a good old fry up. But when winter comes, oats are definitely one of the healthiest, more nutritious grains to start your day with the right foot.
Georgine Leung, Nutritionist at Kurami UK, assured us that the health benefits of eating grains like oats are remarkable: “Porridge oats provide the ‘soluble’ fibre beta-glucan which when consumed in sufficient amounts over time, can reduce blood cholesterol levels and protect heart health. They also provide minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium, iron and zinc.”
It’s healthy, delicious and comforting – perfect for the colder season. If you still think this breakfast option is boring, we are here to change your mind. We selected the best recipes around the web that will help you elevate your porridge game.
