Breakfast is so important, do not skip it! I do wonder how can anyone go without, when you can make gorgeous things like this Apple Almond Porridge Recipe and start your day off happy and satisfied :).

Apples are all around us for Autumn so you should be able to get some good deals at the supermarkets. I  picked up the apples that were on offer, any type of apple will work.

This breakfast is low -fat and releases energy slowly. Furthermore it is a perfect warmer for those crisp, cold frosty mornings to come. Not only that  but it includes one of your 5-a-day AND Almonds have lots of health benefits. Not only do almonds lower cholesterol, they can help reduce heart attacks, provide healthy fats, helps with weight loss and are a source of protein!(Awesome! as I struggle with getting protein in at breakfast).

This porridge takes 2 minutes to cook and turns out flawless every time.

– Now how’s that for an ultimate start to the day?!
