The mornings have been getting a little cooler lately and I’ve been feeling like some warming food to start the day. Superfood Power Porridge is a great porridge full of punchy superfoods – plus it’s low GI so should keep you feeling full for longer.

If you follow ayurvedic medicine it’s very good for those with a dominant Vata dosha and also for those who suffer from anxiety and/or stress – a good grounding meal to start the day.

This Superfood Power Porridge Serves 3-4

• 1 C of Organic (large) rolled oats (or quinoa flakes if you are gluten intolerant)
