Dreamy, Creamy Protein Porridge With Stewed Pears

• 1/2 cuprolled oats
• 1 1/4 cupalmond milk
• 2 tablespoonBare Whey or Vanilla & Coconut Plant Protein
• 5 pears
• 1 teaspoonvanilla powder or vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoonrice malt syrup or honey

1. Heat the milk in a small saucepan (or milkpan ideally) then add the oats
2. Within a few minutes it will start to bubble and the oats should be ready. Add the vanilla and honey/rice malt syrup
3. Turn off the heat then stir in the protein powder until fully combined
4. Serve immediately with either stewed pears (below) or a nut and seed combo - try out crushed walnuts, pepitas, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, mulberries, goji berries, a sprinkling of cinnamon and perhaps a drizzle of maple syrup or raw honey. Fresh fruit is always a winner as well, be inventive and discover new combos each time – there is no wrong answer.

1. Wash, core and chop pears into smaller pieces
2. Place the pears in a saucepan with 250ml of water, and cook on the stove on med-high heat
3. Turn to medium and cook for 60 minutes
4. Remove from heat and serve with porridge or even with yoghurt as dessert
