I've been having this new breakfast - Porridge Oats, for a while now and it really does help you keep an eye on your diet. The porridge combines protein and fibre as well as having low GI carbs. This is brilliant for helping yuo to maintain your energy levels throughout the morning and also fills you up so you are less likely to snack throughout the day.
I have been adding a few almonds and raisins to give it some flavour and extra protein and monounsaturated fats.
TIP: if you want to watch the calories then avoid adding sugar or honey to the porridge. Or else you will drastically increase the sugar levels and this leads to faster fat storage (if not all burnt off).
Ingredients:
Porridge oats - 30 grams
Skimmed milk - 250 ml
Chopped almonds - 8
A small handfull of raisins
(optional add 1 banana to the meal this will add further fibre and gets you on your way to your 5 a day. It should also fill you up especially if you are used to eating a bigger breakfast.)
