INGREDIENTS

• 1/3 - 1/2 cup quick oats

• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed or chia seeds

• 1 scoop vanilla plant-protein powder of choice

• 2cm chunk each of fresh turmeric and ginger, grated*

• 1 tsp each cinnamon and cardamom powder

• Black pepper

• 1 cup liquid of choice (water or plant-milk - I like to do half of each and add extra plant milk to serve)

  Toppings:

• Fresh fruit of choice - I personally love to switch it up and use seasonal fruits where possible!

• Cacao nibs

• Plant-based yogurt of choice

• Sprinkle of cinnamon

METHOD

1. Place oats, fresh turmeric, and ginger in a pot and cover with your choice of liquid and allow to cook for a few minutes. If using the microwave method place oats and water/milk in a bowl and microwave for a 2-3 minutes.

2. Once oats are cooked, turn down heat and mix in the protein powder, chia/flax seeds, cinnamon, cardamom, pepper, adding in extra water (~1/2 cup) as necessary until you reach a thick and creamy consistency, as the chia seeds and protein powder soak up a lot of moisture!

3. Once everything is combined, pour cooked porridge mixture into a bowl, top with all of your favourite toppings and enjoy!

* If you don’t have fresh turmeric or ginger, simply replace with 1/2 tsp each of turmeric and ginger powder.
