I don’t like eating too early, the less steps in the morning the happier I am. I prep my porridge pot and fruit pots ready for the week. What I do could be beneficial for those who do intermittent fasting, as I usually eat this around 10AM, have my lunch at 12:30PM, then dinner at 5PM.
1x portion of oats (in this image, my supermarket does smooth porridge, which is basically fortified blended oats) then I mix in a small amount of cinnamon. 1x portion of dark coloured berries (blueberries/blackberries) 1x portion of red coloured berries (pomegranates, raspberries, rarely strawberries because I’m too lazy to chop them up) 1x portion of nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, macadamias etc. I alternate these each day) 1x portion of seeds (alternate between pumpkin, sunflower, flax) And bring a banana (I chop it up with my spoon so less cleanup)
For a protein boost, you can put some whey protein in the porridge, but be careful not to over microwave it as it can go lumpy. You can also add honey in the dry porridge for sweetness and stir in once you add water, but I’ve stopped doing that to reduce my sugar intake, and found I’ve lost my “sweet tooth” since completely cutting out any unnatural sugars. The same goes for milk, you can add that, but I want to reduce my calorific intake, as I’ve roughly worked out this meal is ~450 calories without.
All you need is water, a microwave and a manager who doesn’t mind you eating at your desk.
