Coconut Turmeric Porridge
When I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism, I delved deep into research. Why, when it felt like I was doing all the right things, was my body behaving contradictory? I’d been eating a clean, whole food plant based diet for the better part of 7 years – why now was everything out of balance? Autoimmune conditions are tricky, to put things lightly. Just when I thought I’d gotten a grasp on managing and living with Type 1 Diabetes, this whole new chapter in my life opened it’s pages for me. After much contemplation, and not feeling particularly in the mood for blogging, or sharing for that matter, I’m slowly feeling more…

Antioxidant Green Tea Porridge
I must admit, I was a bit apprehensive about this recipe, and how it would turn out. The thought of combining green tea with porridge did seem rather strange, but my curiosity got the better of me and I’m so glad it did.

I’ve loved green tea from the first time I tasted it, and I believe it really helped to boost my metabolism and curb my taste buds when I initially started my health journey. It would be…

Breakfast Quinoa Porridge
Quinoa has to be one of my favorite grains! (that technically is not a grain but in fact a seed!) It’s versatility alone makes it extremely favorable and it’s almost nutty flavor adds is so delicious. Be it breakfast, lunch or dinner this Aztec ‘superfood’ can be paired with a variety of foods.

I’ve found it gives me so much more energy than say regular oats, and I think gluten may be one of the reasons. I tend to tolerate oats, but have noticed quite a difference in my overall energy…

Banana Millet Porrdige
If you hadn’t already noticed, I’m a massive fan of porridge. This vegan Banana Millet Porridge recipe definitely hits the spot! There’s nothing quite so comforting as a warm, delicious bowl of porridge on chilly winters mornings, and boy! have we had a few of those here in Nelson, NZ. Opening the curtains to see the heavy snow capped mountains in the distance is my que to get the stove on and get cracking with a bowl of nourishing porridge. My previous porridge post was Breakfast Banana Oats which is a delicious and satisfying recipe, but due to the gluten content on oats, I don’t get into the habit of eating…
