Creamy High Protein Breakfast Porridge
Amanda Li • November 16, 2017
Oatmeal is by far the most popular "go-to" breakfast choice among health conscious individuals but a bowl of oats with a spoonful of maple syrup is entirely comprised of carbs. In this recipe we amp up your good ol’ bowl of porridge with lentils.
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp Red split lentils
1/4 cup Water
1 cup Unsweetened Non-dairy milk
1 tbsp Whole chia seeds
1/4 cup Choice of: Large flake oats, quinoa, quinoa flakes, or short grain rice.
1 large Egg (optional boost of protein)
Optional Cinnamon, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, dried fruit
PROCEDURE
- In a small saucepan, combine lentils and water and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, and then add in the non-dairy milk, chia seeds and grain of choice. Cover with a lid and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Stir in the egg and cinnamon if using. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. Garnish with your favourite toppings and enjoy this hearty bowl of creamy goodness.
NOTES: Recipe can be doubled, and any leftovers can be stored in the fridge, and reheated the next morning.
