Seven minutes on the stove, a scoop of vanilla whey stirred through at the end, and breakfast is sorted before the kettle's even finished boiling. This is porridge with a purpose.

Oats simmered in almond milk until thick and creamy, a banana for natural sweetness, and walnuts for a bit of crunch and staying power. The protein powder goes in off the heat so it blends smooth instead of clumping. Dead simple, genuinely filling, and the kind of thing you'll make on autopilot by week two.

Porridge has no business being this easy to get right. And yet, here we are.

Method

Simmer the oats. In a small pot, bring the almond milk to the boil. Stir in the oats and cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid sticking.

Stir in the protein. Take the pot off the heat and stir in the protein powder until well combined.

Build the bowls. Divide the porridge between 2 serving bowls and top with the sliced banana and walnuts. Serve immediately.

Chef's tips

  • Meal prep it. Make a double batch and refrigerate the plain porridge base. Reheat with a splash of almond milk and add toppings fresh.
  • Keep it plant-based. Swap the whey for a vanilla plant protein and you're good to go.
