Primal Porridge

Course: Breakfast | Cuisine: American | Dietary Restrictions: Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Grain Free, Vegetarian

Primal PorridgeBreakfast is always one of the biggest stumbling blocks when shifting to eating real food. For many people, giving up their morning bowl of oatmeal can be a real challenge because of how quick, easy, tasty, and habitual it is. This was certainly the case for me, until I discovered “no-oat” oatmeal. Since then I’ve never looked back!

Primal Porridge is a delicious oatmeal substitute made out of nuts, seeds, and banana. It has the consistency of normal oatmeal, therefore the same standard toppings work well — such as berries, shredded coconut, chopped apple, and raisins. With all of this natural sweetness, I’d recommended skipping the brown sugar.
