The Perfect Porridge

You only have to put slightly too much/too little milk/water into your porridge to make it too stodgy or watery and ruin the whole meal. This recipe will give you the perfect porridge every time and a very quick, very simple, fat-free meal.

Carbs – 30g Protein – 28g Fat - 0g Cals – 235

50g or ½ cup of oats

200ml water

1 scoop of protein powder, whichever flavour you like. I like to use chocolate flavour

Pretty much anything else you like but remember these will add to the overall calories and macros. Here are some ideas: Cinnamon, peanut butter, fruit, orange essence.

o Put the oats in a bowl

o Put the water in the shaker, add the protein powder and shake

o Pour the shake over the oats

o Microwave for 1.30

o Stir and let it cool for a few minutes while the oats soak up more of the liquid and finish cooking

o Add whatever else you like and serve

Ø A general rule of thumb to achieve this consistency is to use 100ml of water for every 25g or ¼ cup of oats

Ø You will also need to adjust the cooking time if adding more oats. I add an extra 30 seconds on for every extra 25g or 1/4 cup of oats
