QUICK AND EASY WARMING SAVOURY PORRIDGE WITH SUPER GREENS ๐ฅฌ
I love a savoury porridge now and then in place of my regular sweet porridge. This is soo easy and quick to make and is super healthy, protein filled and will keep you going until lunch!
To make one portion, add a third of a cup of oats (I prefer whole) to a pan along with cooked chickpeas (about a third or a half of a tin- drained a rinsed), and a couple of handfuls of greens of choice. I used kale and spinach. Add approx. 150ml of vegetable stock, I like to use Bullion powder. Cook on a low heat for 5 minutes until warmed through and greens are wilted, adding more water if required. Add any optional extras like garlic, chilli flakes, seaweed flakes, fresh herbs. Top with a handful of nuts or seeds to serve, I used pumpkin seeds.
I also topped mine with broccoli sprouts and some good old nooch (nutritional yeast flakes).
Green leafy vegetables are one of the healthiest things we can eat, full of beneficial vitamins, minerals, phytoestrogens, phytochemicals, and antioxidants which support our immunity, hormonal health and mental wellness amongst others.
A great source of plant proteins to keep you feeling full til lunch, and packed with fibre too, which again supports gut health, immunity and mental wellness.
I add the pumpkin seeds to ensure there are some healthy fats in there too.
Let me know if you try it and if you come up with any interesting variations!
