You’ve still got chance to enter our #GIVEAWAY competition – WIN A copy of ‘I Wish my Doctor had told me this’ by Kate Chaytor-Norris, ends Sunday 24^th January so go back and check out the post on 10^th January.

In Kate’s words, ‘this is a great breakfast dish for filling you up, keeping you warm and not spiking your blood sugar levels. If we can reduce the amount of carbohydrate that we eat it helps to keep our blood sugar levels more even throughout the day and we are less likely to want to snack between meals, less likely to want put our heads down on the desk after lunch for a little snooze and it will also decrease the stress hormones in the body’

‘This recipe is packed full of protein so it will last you till lunchtime, it also contains good levels of fibre to keep those bowels happy and healthy essential fats which are a great fuel and also help to reduce inflammation.’

We followed Kate’s recipe and quadrupled the quantities like she suggests to make a big batch and stored it in a glass kilner jar in the fridge. We eat it served both hot and also it’s just as nice cold straight out of the jar, both delicious. Would highly recommend, quick to make and easy to grab from the fridge, ensuring you always get a good breakfast when you don’t have time to stop, especially when you’ve got lots of customers orders to carefully pick and pack.

Once you’ve got the base you can make it your own adding some of your favourite ingredients.

Kate’s Powerhouse Paleo Porridge recipe

1⁄4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1⁄4 cup walnuts
1⁄4 cup sliced / ground almonds
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds / chia seeds
1 tbsp ground linseed / flaxseed
Approximately 1 cup almond / coconut / hemp milk – it depends upon how runny you like your porridge
Pinch of Sea Salt
1 teaspoon honey to taste (optional – ideally not)

Depending on how fine you like your porridge you can liquidise all the nuts till fine or can leave it a bit chunky – just make sure that the flax is properly ground so you can benefit from the wonderful essential fats contained inside the tough outer shell. (The organic flaxseed we sell at Cross Lanes is ground).

Put a few spoonfuls of this mix into a saucepan, add the almond / coconut / hemp milk and cook over a low heat for 3-4 minutes, then leave to stand for a couple in order for it to thicken.
Be aware that some alternative milks contain added sugar.

 And guess what … you can purchase all the ingredients you need for this powerhouse recipe from our farm shop and online shop.
