Notes
AGE APPROPRIATE: When on 2 meals+ a dayNotes: **Egg yolk, collagen powder and butter are all optional - these make a great balanced meal but none of the ingredients are necessary to make the porridge work. **Swaps - Oats for quinoa flakes for GF - Butter for ghee or coconut oil or nut butter - Egg yolk/collagen for nut butter or tahini - You can omit flaxseed meal/hemp seeds/chia seeds and this porridge will still work fine. These are just for the nutritional benefit!This will last 2-3 days in the fridge Also makes a delicious portable meal if you pop it in a jar for lunchboxes or to take out with you.
