Are you busy in the morning, or find it hard to get your brain into gear to make breakfast? This recipe could be for you! It’s a perfect recipe to boost your metabolism at the start of the day too, especially when following a healthy eating plan.
By placing all the healthy porridge ingredients into a mug the night before you are taking the hassle out of the morning rush.
Once you get the basic 3 ingredient recipe down you can then tweak away.
- Leave out the banana and add sultanas
- Throw in a teaspoon of chia seeds
- Add a handful of crushed nuts instead of the nut butter
- Sprinkle over some coconut flakes for some crunch
- Leave out the yoghurt and add more milk
- Add some passionfruit or chopped kiwi fruit
The possibilities are endless!
The porridge can be eaten as is (perfect for when the weather is hot) or you can pop it in the microwave to warm up if you prefer it that way.
This recipe would also work well in a travel mug for mornings when you have to just get up and go!

- 1/3 cup whole oats
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup Greek or natural yoghurt
- Cinnamon to taste – optional
- ½ banana, very finely chopped and diced – optional

Method:
