Good morning.
Okay so since being pregnant i've definitely been drinking more milk. Before hand i only had it with my trillion cups of tea - i never had breakfast / cereal or a glass of it.
I've got to be honest it doesn't sit very well with me.
I always felt bloated or just uncomfortable so swayed more towards soya milk if i was ever to have more than a dash of it.
I can't confess i'm any type of dietician or scientist to explain this any better than their website - https://a2milk.co.uk/about-a2-milk/
( it has pictures - everyone loves a diagram )
In basic terms this is still cows milk but just doesn't carry the A1 protein that normal milk does which can trigger symptoms of milk intolerance.
Which is amazing.
So i thought i would put a little recipe together and tell you about this because it honestly has been a bit of a game changer for me.
Coconut Porridge Recipe:
100g porridge oats
1 x 400ml can coconut milk
250ml A2 Milk
small pinch salt
1 tbsp Clear Honey
1 tbsp almond butter, optional
For the toppings
( Completely optional just how i topped mine )
Pinch of Grapefruit skin shavings
1 Passion Fruit
2 Slices of Kiwi
Edible flowers - yay mine have finally bloomed!
Dash of A2 milk on top
For the porridge, mix the oats with the coconut milk,salt and A2 milk in a large saucepan. Place over a medium-high heat, bring to a boil then turn the heat down to low and stir well. Cover with a lid and leave to cook for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the porridge is thick and creamy. Stir in the honey and almond butter if using.
Top with your toppings.
If your porridge ever gets too thick for you just add more milk to loosen it up :)
I like to add a dash of milk on top of my oats at the end just so i have some different textures going in to my gob.
Hope this helps your tummys!
