Coconut Seed Porridge

by Celia Quattrociocchi

When the temperature drops to 5 degrees or lower, and the wind chill factor is -5 or lower, there’s nothing that comforts us more than porridge for breakfast! Try this grain free, vegan, & keto friendly version that is nourishingly delicious. 

Porridge Mix

Sunflower Seeds

Crushed Linseeds*

Chia Seeds

Niulife Coconut Milk Powder

Ingredients (per serve)

2 tablespoons of Porridge Mix

½ cup of filtered water

1 tablespoon Niulife Coconut Syrup

1 tablespoon Niulife Virgin Coconut Oil

Toppings

½ cup of berries (whatever is in season or use frozen)

¼ cup Niulife Coconut Flakes


Optional Extras

In the porridge...

1 tablespoon raw cacao

On top...

1 teaspoon of cacao nibs

1 teaspoon of Niulife Coconut Butter, drizzled

1 tablespoon of your favourite nut butter, drizzled

1 tablespoon of your favourite nuts, chopped

Other seasonal fruit

Porridge Mix

Equal parts Sunflower Seeds, Crushed Linseeds*, Chia Seeds, and Niulife Coconut Milk Powder. Make up the mix in whatever quantity suits you, pop it into a glass jar and keep it in the fridge. I make up a 500g jar when the weather starts getting cold.

*Linseeds are better absorbed when they’re crushed. There’s no point in wasting a nutrient.

Method

In a small saucepan add porridge mix, filtered water and syrup. On a medium heat stir until thickened (adjust liquid to desired consistency by adding more water). Take the saucepan off the heat, place into a bowl and top with berries and coconut flakes, and/or additional toppings of choice. Enjoy.
