Chai and Almond milk Porridge

So here’s my first recipe :)

EXCITEDDDD!!

This is a really super simple recipe for a cold morning or a day where you need loads of energy before a hard gym session. :P

Porridge is an excellent slow energy releasing complex carbohydrate!

Its so handy in college because its quick and easy to make! 

Recipe:

50g of porridge oats (I use flahavans orgainc porridge oats)

100mls of almond milk

100mls of water

1 tablespoon of Chai seeds

Method:

Put all the ingredients into a medium sized saucpan on a medium heat and bring to the boil and then allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes! 

AND THAT’S IT!!!

So simple and warming! You can add dried fruit like raisins or some chopped date, or drizzle some 0% fat Greek yoghurt over it! I personally love it with maple syrup or honey over it. Delicious!

Chai Seeds the highest known vegetarian source of OMEGA 3, and also  are high in Fibre, Protein, & Antioxidants. So by simply adding tiny, tasteless chia seeds to your favourite foods, you can improve your health! I love them and they make an amazing pudding! :) Thats All for now guys. Enjoy! xx

First Post!! (Eeeep!)

So excited to Finally start a Blog! Fitness and Healthy eating are a passion of mine and I’ve been inspired by so many great blogs in my own journey like Taralynn Mcnitt and Karena and Katrina’s “tone it up” that I thought its about time I started my own! :)  December 2012 I began my weight loss journey,after I took a long hard look at myself in the mirror and wanted to change! By June I had loss 30lbs and couldn't believe how my life had changed! I was more positive, had lots more energy and most importantly was happier in myself! :)To date I’m down 36lbs and I intend to keep it off! :)  And this blog is not only about health and fitness, I believe we should all indulge in the sweet things in life too, so I'll be posting some recipes for cheat meals and some baking (nobody's perfect! ;)) :) hope you guys enjoy!! xx
