Three grain porridge with maple syrup

….and as you can see lots and lots of maple syrup!…a woman needs sugar sometimes! 😊  Super easy to make, it’s just porridge oats cooked with almond milk in the normal way with a little salt, I used pink Himalayan salt but sea salt is good!  Then I stir in a couple of tbsps of ground flaxseeds, chia seeds etc.  You can basically add whatever additional seeds or grains you fancy, I sometimes cook my porridge with half organic oats and half quinoa flakes…quinoa is a really good protein source and has a variety of other health benefits also see the link below for some further information.
