PORRIDGE

SERVES 2

2 cups (200 g) almond meal

¼ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp ground nutmeg

pinch of salt flakes

1 tbsp maca powder

2 cups (500 ml) coconut milk

½ cup (60 g) fresh or frozen

raspberries

½ cup (75 g) fresh or frozen

strawberries, quartered

2–3 drops of stevia (optional)

½ cup (80 g) blueberries

handful of chopped macadamia

nuts, to serve

mint leaves, to serve

Heat the almond meal, cinnamon,

nutmeg, salt, maca and coconut

milk in a small saucepan over a

medium heat. Slowly bring to

the boil, stirring continuously.

Boil for 1 minute, then reduce

the heat and simmer for another

2 minutes. Add the raspberries

and strawberries and cook for

1 minute more (or 2 minutes if

using frozen berries). Taste and, if

you’d like it sweeter, stir in a few

drops of stevia.

Divide the porridge between

two bowls, top with the fresh

blueberries and macadamia nuts

and scatter with a few torn mint

leaves. Tuck on in.

TIP

If you’re really craving

sweetness (or if you’re only

just starting to cut sugar out of

your diet), adding a few drops of

stevia is a great way to sweeten

this up without actually

adding sugar or having an

impact on your blood

glucose levels.
