Power Porridge Breakfast

Power Porridge Breakfast  

2 to 3 cups Almond or Coconut Milk

1 tbsp lentils

1 tsp flax seeds

1 tbsp hemp hearts (I don't use these - couldn't find them)

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp steel cut oats

1 tbsp sunflower or sesame seeds

1 tbsp raw walnuts

1 tbsp raw pecans

1 tsp Red Star Nutritional Yeast (mine is from Bob's Red Mill)

1 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes

small handful dried cranberries

fresh fruit

spices you might like, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, etc.

Heat almond milk to a gentle boil, add lentils, grains, seeds, oats, stir. Turn down heat, simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer about 15 min. until lentils are tender. You may need to add more or less almond milk to keep the consistency creamy, not runny.

Add the nuts and dried fruit, stir and cover to simmer only until dried fruits have warmed. Can skip this step, just mix them in. Cut fresh fruit on top ( sometimes I stir in frozen fruit from a bag of mixed berries). 

This recipe serves two, or refrig half for another day, reheats well.
