Vanilla Pecan Porridge With Fruits and Berries
There's a reason why porridge was such a popular breakfast food in the olden days. Oats contain complex carbohydrates which digest slowly, meaning that they'll fuel you through the day and you won't suffer from blood sugar spikes or troughs. Not only this but oats are rare in that they actively decrease bad cholesterol - and that's a good enough reason for us!
