Healthy chocolate porridge
Basic recipe for dieters
Chocolate porridge is one of my favorite foods. When I first changed my lifestyle, I only ate it for breakfast. With its slow-absorbing carbohydrates, it’s the perfect start to the day. I also add a few almonds or walnuts. Later, I realized that I also need slow-absorbing carbohydrates in the evening, so porridge is a good choice for dinner too. At this time, I don’t add seeds, but rather protein powder. I do the same when I want to eat something after training. Sometimes I make porridge then too. So porridge is good after training as well. I’ll write down my basic recipe, which you can feel free to adapt to your liking. Once you’ve made it, you’ll realize that it’s much tastier than the pre-made powder you buy in stores. What’s more, it’s healthy and easy on the wallet. It’s worth trying!
Store-bought, ready-made porridges are usually made from fine-grained (also known as small-grained) oats. For a while, I only used this fine-grained oatmeal, but then I realized that even though I ate it knowing that it would fill me up and I wouldn’t be hungry for hours, it didn’t work. I got hungry very quickly. I realized that fine-grained oatmeal contains less fiber than coarse-grained oatmeal. I kept the fine-grain oatmeal because of its texture, which makes it really mushy, but for breakfast I always use it in a 50-50 ratio with coarse-grain oatmeal to ensure that it contains enough fiber and slow-absorbing carbohydrates.

- 100 ml almond milk (or other plant-based milk)

- 1 teaspoon (4 g) cocoa powder (low fat, unsweetened, high cocoa content)
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon (If you don't have any, you can leave it out, but cinnamon has fat-burning properties, so it's worth adding.)
