Popeye Porridge!! - Raw

It's the 27th of December, you know what that means? i have had 2 days of glorious foods with my family! It only comes once a year and when people put so much effort into the wonderful meals how can you say no? After all we work hard on our bodies but we also need to remember to treat ourselves when it counts :) Needless to say i was ready to get back into my raw foods and gym again. While there was a small 3 people at the 6am Pump class this morning (all girls too i might add - girl power!) it felt amazing to have a good workout followed by some cardio on the bike. So when i got home for breakfast i was so looking forward to my raw breakfasts again i didn't know whether to have my choc-pump oats, chia porridge or a green smoothie?!? Guess what i did... combined bits i was craving from all of them into a Popeye Porridge! The best thing is i think this is my favourite breakfast creation yet - you must try it!

Popeye Porridge

Ingredients
1 tablespoon Chia seeds

1/2 cup water
1 medium ripe banana
1/4 cup pea protein powder
1/4 water (extra)
1 tablespoon pepitas
1 tablespoon LSA
1 tablespoon shredded coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 small handful of spinach leaves
1/3 cup frozen blueberries
Small drizzle of honey


Soak the Chia seeds in the 1/2 cup of water for 10-15 minutes.

In a food processor, add the soaked chia, banana, pea protein powder, 1/4 water, pepitas, LSA and coconut and process until smooth.

Add the spinach leaves until combined, you will see lovely green speckles throughout the porridge :)

Transfer to a serving bowl and top with blueberries and honey... enjoy your Popeye porridge! I was ready for anything my 10 hour work day could bring... starting with the 10 hours!

Yum!

For those of you like me wanting to know the macro nutrient breakdown here it is, BUT don't forget the wonderful micro-nutrients, enzymes and raw beauty this breakfast gives you too, don't get too bogged up in the larger counts as that is how people lose the beauty of our life giving fuel called food.
