High Fibre Porridge
Oats provide soluble fibre that feed the bacteria in the gut. The bacteria produce acids from this fibre which help to maintain good blood sugar levels and excrete cholesterol and toxins from the body. Whole Flaxseeds/linseeds are a great lubricant for the bowel and help excretion. Prunes (dried plums) also feed the good bacteria and reduce transit time, relieving constipation.
On a cold Winters day, a warm breakfast can help to get us out the door.

Ingredients
15g, 3 heaped teaspoons raw whole Oats
15g, 3 heaped teaspoons Oat Bran
10g linseeds
presoaked the night before in: 1 teaspoon lemon juice, warm water
cooked with 200ml skimmed milk
30g, 2 prunes stewed
Method
Pre-soak the oats, linseeds and dried prunes the night before in lemon juice (optional) and warm water.
In the morning, add to a saucepan (draining away a little of the water) and cook it gently in 200ml skimmed milk to bring it to the consistency you like. It cooks really quickly after pre-soaking. Heat the prunes through or enjoy as a cold topping.
Sprinkle cinnamon on top if you like it.
