Apple & linseed porridge

It tasted awful and it didn't fill me up :[

ideal low gi brekie, chop the apples into chunks apart from that everything is as above, everyone in the house loves it

I thought that porridge was ideal for GI watchers, as it is "slow release"? From Anna

Oat meal is not good for a low Gi diet. And especially honey has a high Gi of 55 which is as much as a snickers bar! Whether honey is healthy or not is a different question, but certainly no good to reduce the blood sugar levels. I found this recipe when I googled low Gi breakfast.

Use organic apples and grate the unpeeled for extra fibre and nutrients.

I like my porridge cold, so I made it as overnight oats: I put the oats and the milk together in a bowl in the fridge and mix it the other morning with the rest of the ingredients. I use Almond milk and its very delicious and filling.

I don't like porridge, but I am embracing new things in 2014 and this is on the Healthy Eating Plan so I thought I'd give it a go. To my surprise I really liked it - I think it must be the apple mixed in at the outset that both flavours it and changes the texture slightly. I only made a single portion (I am not the only one in our house who doesn't normally like porridge and I couldn't persuade the others) and it worked fine. Plenty filling enough to get me through to lunch. I will make this again.

Amazing, balanced and easy to make. I tried making it in the microwave and it works as well! My child loves it!

Made this and loved it! Kept me full for hours. Replaced linseed with unroasted sesame. Grating in the apple worked very well. Balanced breakfast!
