Cardamom & Coconut Raw Porridge
Amber Macintosh
Bircher muesli remains as popular as ever but I like the idea of a little twist on it so I would call this bowl a raw porridge. As with many of my recipes it is suitable for those that are gluten, diary and refined sugar free, this is also suitable for vegans.
Ingredients for 2 servings: Coconut Milk, 6 cardamom pods, handful of small organic oats, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds & vanilla powder
Directions: Pour our can of coconut milk into a bowl so that you can use throughout the week, all you will need is one heaped tablespoon mixed with filtered water to soak your oats and chia seeds in overnight. To flavour this mix crush up the seeds inside the cardamom pods, add some vanilla powder, stir and leave!
In the morning add your choice of fruit, top with granola (preferably homemade so check my next recipe) and add a big tasty spoon of peanut or almond butter, we love Pip & Nut as they do not contain palm oil.
As you can see there is no need for any sugar, though if sharing with kids you could try some honey. This bowl works nicely for breakfast but also a nice tea time snack which is blood sugar balancing, protein packed and keeps you full up till lunch. Enjoy! xAmber
