ENERGISING PORRIDGE WITH BLUEBERRIES, TOASTED WALNUTS AND HONEY RECIPE

This is a great breakfast on the morning of a marathon. The oats have a very low G.I., meaning that the carbohydrate is released into your bloodstream slowly and therefore will sustain your energy levels and help prevent those 11 o'clock food cravings.

Ingredients 

• 100g porridge
• 500ml water or milk or half and half
• Pinch of salt
• Punnet of fresh blueberries
• Handful of walnuts
• Good quality runny honey (Manuka is very good)

Method

1. Put the oats, water and or or milk into a pan with a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil over a high heat and then turn the heat down and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. The porridge will become thick and creamy.
2. Meanwhile, pop the nuts onto a baking tray and roast in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 5 minutes.
3. Pour into two warmed bowls, sprinkle with the blueberries and nuts and drizzle over the honey.
