full control of the ingredients. Ours is designed to keep you full till lunch,
with slow- release oats (these chunky ones are extra hearty and flavorsome),
extra fibre and hazelnuts. Swerve the calorific dried fruit that many store-
bought versions are full of and use fresh fruit instead.

Banana cinnamon porridge … if you would rather have
something hot
Serves 2
It is perfect because … porridge is a seriously healthy,
filling start to the day. Oats contain soluble fibre that helps lower blood
cholesterol and blood sugar levels, but who has not been guilty of undermining
its nutritional credentials by adding last- minute sugar, syrup or cream. Our
recipe uses naturally sweet flavourings like apple and cinnamon so you will not
be tempted. Go for half milk/ half water to get the nitrients of milk while
keeping the calories down. The bran, almonds and banana add extra nutrition,
flavour and bulk.
