Creamy Macadamia, Apple and Cinnamon Porridge

Creamy Macadamia, Apple and Cinnamon Porridge

There is nothing more comforting and delicious than a bowl of steaming porridge, especially when you know you aren’t going to end up bloated, lethargic and feeling unwell. Free from anything nasty, this is one of my favourite breakfasts, especially at Winter time as it’s full of nourishing goodness and an abundance of illness busting vitamins. I use almond milk  but you can use any other nut milk you desire. It’s comforting to know when waking up in the pitch black and feeling a chill in the air that a warming bowl of delicious, creamy porridge awaits. For me, it certainly makes bracing the traffic and trains a little more bearable.
