6 Reasons to Eat Porridge

Porridge is the absolute best breakfast food (and not only breakfast). It’s not only delicious but also healthy and filling.

As the seasons change, our porridge also changes - while in the summer we tend to use more berries, melons, and peaches, in the colder months it seems like there is a lack of fruit to add to our porridge bowl.

Some great ingredients to add to your porridge bowl in November/December are:

  • Apples

  • Pears

  • Carrots (yes carrots)

  • Pumpkin

  • Quinces

  • Nuts

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
