Rainy Day Breakfast

Good morning!

It was rainy and cool this morning, so I felt like something warm for breakfast. I've been meaning to try a recipe by The Healthy Chef, Teresa Cutter (www.teresacutter.com) and this morning was the perfect opportunity. It's high in protein, filling, and it tastes delicious.


1  cup almond milk (or your choice of preferred milk)
2 green apple (cut into quarters with the skin and seeds included)
4 - 5  tablespoons LSA (ground linseed, sunflower, and almond)
pinch cinnamon
Fresh fruit to serve
Combine the almond milk and apple into your vita-mix container and secure the lid. Select variable 1.Turn machine on and quickly increase speed to variable 10 and then to high. Blend for 30 seconds then pour the combined mix into a  small pot along with the LSA and cinnamon. Cook porridge over a low heat for a few minutes until heated through and thickened. Serve topped with fresh fruit. 
This makes enough for 2 generous portions, just half it if you're breakfasting solo.

I was very fortunate to get a vita-mix blender for Christmas, which I use every day for just about everything. If you get into your cooking and nutrition, then it's definitely worth the investment, as you need a powerful blender to make some of these recipes. Also, a higher-powered motor allows you to process skins, seeds and stalks which is where there is a valuable source of extra nutrition. However, if you look around there are many cheaper options available, just compare and do your homework - it's worth your time!
