The FastDay Forum

Just made the porridge recipe from the fast diet book - I had no cinnamon in the house but found a vanilla pod - the porridge is AMAZING so a new idea to add variety to a lovely meal and with no extra calories

Sounds wonderful!
I usually have my porridge with cinnamon but will try vanilla

Can you share please for those of us who haven't got the book?

300ml skimmed milk
30g jumbo porridge oats
a pinch of salt
1/2 a vanilla pod - scrape seeds from inside --- this is my replacement for { 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon)
50g of low GI fruit to scatter on top - this could be any of the following - pomegranate seeds cherries or strawberries etc.
1 tsp pomegranate molasses


Method -- Heat the oats, milk, vanilla and salt in a pan until the oats are cooked ( I prefer to do this slowly, remember to stir regularly to prevent porridge from sticking and cook until thickened.
Add fruit to the top before serving. Sprinkle with 1 tsp of pomegranate molasses. Calories for one person 284
