Prep time: 10 mins. Total time: 10 mins. Serves: 1
The amount of ingredients in this is enough for my wife, but I tend to increase it by a half to double for myself. Mind you, double is quite a hearty breakfast!
Like most of the other recipes I put up on this blog, which is basically for me and my friends edification, I chop and change ingredients regularly to suite seasonality, price and preference. For example, I was in Denmark, WA in February and a fig tree down the road from the Backpacker I was managing was bursting with fruit. I had a nectarine that was on the way out and my kefir was ready for consumption. I also mixed in some Goji berries and dried cranberries with the currants for a bit of flair. The top two photos reflect this batch.
I prefer to use kefir rather than almond milk, as the kefir keeps fermenting within the porridge and adds extra fridge life to the mix. As a result, I make a weeks supply at a time. Not to mention the probiotic benefits as well...
Ingredients:
¼ cup oat groats rinsed and drained
¼ cup ezekiel cereal, muesli, or ¼ cup steel or rolled oats (for texture)
1 tsp of currants
sprinkle of cinnamon
4 ounces unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp of chia seeds (optional)
1 cup fresh or frozen fruit of your choice
Instructions:
In a "to go" glass container of your choice: Place oat groats, ezekiel cereal/oats, cinnamon, currants, chia seeds, and almond milk in the container and stir
Top mixture with fresh or frozen fruit
Let mixture sit in fridge overnight or up to three days in fridge
