“I’ve Eaten This Breakfast For 10 Years – Here’s The Recipe”

“This is my ultimate porridge recipe. I’ve been eating some version of it for the best part of 10 years, and the fact that I’m still not sick of it says a lot,” registered Nutrition Sophie Gastman (@sophiethenutritionist) says.

“If you’re wondering why porridge even needs a recipe, or how good it can really be, then you haven’t tried my version. Not to toot my own horn, but this recipe has converted multiple porridge haters into full-blown porridge enthusiasts. Packed with protein, healthy fats and all the textures you could ask for, it’s the perfect breakfast to keep you going all morning.”

You’ll find this recipe and loads more in her debut cookbook, Find Your Healthya practical guide with plenty of myth-busting. Sophie cuts through the food noise, offering evidence-based healthy eating advice alongside delicious recipes.

Want to… MAKE IT VEGAN? Use any plant-based milk and yoghurt.

MAKE IT NUT-FREE? Skip the Brazil nut and swap the peanut butter for tahini or a seed butter.

ADD MORE PROTEIN? Include the protein powder and use higher-protein toppings like Greek yoghurt and peanut butter.

SPEED THINGS UP? Skip the soak and cook as normal, but it won’t be as creamy. You can also use the microwave, but at your own peril.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN? This recipe is highly customisable. Feel free to swap in your favourite fruit, seeds, and nut butter. All I would say is that if you don’t add protein powder, or skip the protein-rich toppings (Greek yoghurt, peanut butter, nuts, and seeds), you’ll be hungry an hour later.
