Simple Porridge with Passionfruit, Dates and Walnut Butter
I love sleep, because that is like a time machine to breakfast.
Good morning! It’s time for a new week, and a new breakfast is standing on my kitchen table. The sun is shining outdoors, it feels like spring is in the air and I’m happy to be able to eat this breakfast today. This breakfast is very simple to make and is filled with nutrition, satisfaction and healthy energy. This is a great healthy breakfast and I’m actually often making various versions of this porridge as an everyday breakfast.
Why is this breakfast a “very good and healthy” breakfast?
Many people tend to skip breakfast or just simple struggle with eating it for various reasons. Or maybe you eat breakfast but don’t feel like you get energy from it? Satisfaction? Nice flavors? There can be so many reasons on why you aren’t eating or why you aren’t happy with the breakfasts you are making, which is why I today want to give you this simple but “very good, healthy” breakfast.
Since breakfast is the first meal of the day, we want to give the body energy to function until the next meal (lunch or possibly pre-lunch snack which some people eat) by giving your body carbs. Carbs are energy, and in this recipe we have picked oats which have slow good carbs. We don’t want to give your body a “carb energy rush” in the morning, and that is why oats are great.
The fibers from the fruits and oats also give you satisfaction. This breakfast is honestly one of few breakfasts I can eat, that doesn’t make me hungry within a few hours. This keeps me full - satisfaction wise but also energy wise.
In my recipe I mostly add the stevia and vanilla for taste, but if you pick protein powder instead of vanilla powder you obviously also add some extra protein to your porridge too. Not speaking of all the protein you get from the plant based milk and nut butter. The last one, the nut butter, is thus a great source of proteins, but also of healthy fats. Because, we have discussed protein and carbs so far, but adding fats are important to do too!
