Healthy living GETTING CREATIVE WITH PORRIDGE

A simple bowl of porridge is a great hearty start to the day. But porridge can also be used as the first building block in creating a flavoursome breakfast masterpiece.

Quaker Porridge Oats are as versatile as they are tasty and nutritious. You can enjoy them in bed, at the kitchen table, from a pot at work or slip a Porridge To Go Bar in your pocket when you’re on the go.

It’s easy

Learning how to make porridge is easy, simply add water or milk of your choice (you could add dairy milk, oat milk, soy milk, coconut milk or any other milk alternative) to your porridge oats, bring to the boil and then stir until creamy.

Time to create

Now you could dive straight into this yummy bowl or you could treat it as a blank canvas – ready and waiting for you to pimp your porridge. What about adding some seasonal fruits, perhaps some nuts? Or if you feel as if there’s not enough spice in your life, simply add some – like cinnamon, ginger or maybe even cardamom.
