Porridge
Without some creativity, porridge can get boring very fast. Which is a shame given it’s endless health and nutritional benefits. The good news is you can do just about anything with a bowl of porridge and can eat it pretty much anywhere.
Only a few porridge brands, including MOMA contain no added sugar, allowing you to get more creative with natural sugars from fruits and honey. Adding some of your favourite fruits such chunks of apple or pear will provide the healthy natural sugars, as well as some added crunch; whereas adding some yoghurt will produce a lovely texture.
Just prepare your ingredients the night before and throw them into your morning porridge. Pour into your thermos mug, grab your folding spoon and enjoy on the way to work.
