Porridge

13. May, 2009

I don't understand people that can go to work or school on an empty stomach. It is like driving your car without fuel...now you wouldn't do that would you? Porridge is a wonderful start to the day, the perfect body fuel. It has slow releasing carbohydrates, protein and it really fills you up, keeping you energised for very long. I often take the dry ingredients for porridge on my hikes and it is absolutely fantastic to start your hike on something so healthy.

I normally add something sweet to my porridge like chopped, dried or fresh fruit such as blueberries, apples, banana, dried apricots, dates and even nuts such as chopped hazelnuts.
