Let me make YOU Breakfast :)

You to can have this lovely breakfast and it blooming good for you !

Have you ever sat down early in the morning and thought what does @vibeof100monkeys have for breakfast?

No, oh well i'm going to tell you anyway. It's very good for you and tastes rather good, if I don't say so myself. Now I can't take credit for inventing the recipe (you can hardly call it a recipe but i'm going to) I was told it but I am willing to share.

It's porridge... yay! 

With some added extras to tantalise your taste buds early in the morning. And its quick so ideal for those work mornings. I tend to have a more substantial breakfast / brunch at the weekends, maybe another post there although I don't think so its quite standard really.

So without further ranting lets get cooking:

First is the ingredients of the actually porridge.

Millet Flakes

Now you don't see it around much or even talked about, but I think it is making a comeback well in England anyways. So it's a grain from my brief research a very ancient one that has been around for centuries apparently used in China before rice became popular. The earliest written mention of Millet was 2800BC. I find a lot of good things were eaten but the ancients that we have now forgotten (been draw away from the truth). This grain to rather good for you the benefits include (I should put a disclaimer in here so take this as your disclaimer :) ):

• Good for heart

• Good for Diabetes

• Will hydrate your colon to keep you from being constipated

• Will calm you moods due to Serotonin

• Can lower cholesterol

• Its gluten-free and non-allergenic.

• And high in protein

Apparently it can reduce the effect of iodine getting to the thyroid so be aware of that one.

Next Porridge: 

I don't need to write about porridge do I 

I then add raisins and mix this all into a big tub for easy access 

Next I add this into a jar enough for one portion, for me normally about seven or eight table spoons (you might be more of less, its personal preference). Then I chop a lemon about quaterish and squeeze this into the mix, seeds and all.

So the benefits of the little lemon;

• Blood Purifier 

• Blood Sugar Balance 

• Detoxification

• Can cleansing the blood and removing toxins,

• The potassium found in raw lemon juice helps the brain and nerve cells

• Raw lemon juice can help improve sleep.

Then we add some water about twice the height above the gains I find works for me, it takes some experimenting  with to the the constancy you like. Then give it a very good shake up!

This we then leave in the air tight container (a old jar suites me and reuses things so a big bonus) over night. Just on the side in the kitchen will do. This allows the grains to soak the water and make them easier to digest.

In the Morning ...

We pour the contents into a pan removing the lemon pieces. Then we  add some goodies:

Moringa Power:

The Moringa oleifera tree originate in India I think and it is considers one of the most nutrient rich plant in the world. And yes I will list some benefits for you to wonder over:

• Can help with fatigue 

• Can help keep you skin healthy

• Can boost immunity

• Helps with muscle growth 

• Can help reduce stress

• Helps with digestion

• Good for diabetes

To name a few. 

Spirulina Powder:

• Helps get rid of Candida

• Detoxifies removing heavy metals

• Reduces cholesterol

• High in protein, boosting energy

• Anti cancer properties

• Good for weight loss

So both of theses are very good for you,

Lastly Cinnamon 

Cinnamon also has many benefits too but I am not going to list them. I use it mainly for adding some tastiness in the situation.

I then cook it to the right consistency and add some fruit, depending on what I have in. Today its apples. I then serve in a bowl, sit and enjoy :)

Steemers that is my lovely breakfast for you to try and its blooming healthy. I have been eating it for around a year now and am still functioning well, so seems ok. The colour is not the most appealing, it goes green from the Spirulina but this should be ignored or embraced which every way you see it!

So my friends I hope you enjoy this mixture and it does so some nice beneficial things for you.

But more than anything have a cracking breakfast!
