Peanut butter and pear porridge

Tinned fruit is 100% fine sometimes, when you buy it in fruit juice or water. It’s handy to keep in the cupboard, like the pears I used here or some cherries, peaches or plums. Fresh pears are also great, especially when eaten with their skin, where a lot of the nutrients hang out. This porridge bowl combines the freshness pears with the slight saltiness of peanut butter and a bit of sweetness from honey and of course creamy oats cooked with whole milk. Add a bit of crunch with a few chopped nuts and you have a bowl of heaven that will keep you feeling satisfied til lunch.

Nutrition Info

Peanuts

Peanuts are also a rich source of manganese which also helps with having fantastic bones and skin as well as helping to control blood sugar. And in these days of diabetes epidemics that’s a huge bonus.

Nuts for the win!

Pears

Pears are rich in a flavonol called epicatechin. Flavonols are compounds found in plants that infer protective benefits to the plant, and to us when we eat them. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Even better when you eat the skins where much of the flavonols are found.
