This healthy bowl is one of my favourite ways to start the day. Full of healthy carbs and fats, this delicious warm bowl of porridge will keep you satisfied for hours! The high protein seeded maple porridge is not overly sweet or rich, which is great for mornings when I want a more subtle, nutty flavoured breakfast. I also love the vibrant colour of the porridge; the sunflower seed protein powder gives the porridge such a unique colour.
This protein porridge mix is one of my new favourites. It has such a clean ingredients list, no artificial sweeteners or harmful additives. I find that sometimes, other protein products can inflame my IBS due to ingredients such as stevia or the actual source of the protein. The product that I use in this recipe is one of the best pre-made protein porridge products I have come across- I highly recommend!
Check out this colour! I love that this porridge has so many natural beneficial ingredients that will help your digestion. I add in chia seeds to boost the healthy fats and proteins, which will help keep you full for longer! Cinnamon is also known to lower blood sugar levels, so I always add it into my porridge bowls. It also adds such a homely and warming flavour and gives me autumnal vibes. If you want to check out and use the exact same protein porridge mix that I used in this recipe, check out That Protein for their huge range of low FODMAP products.

If you love this porridge recipe, check out my high protein vanilla porridge or chocolate peanut Reece’s style porridge. They’re just as delicious, high protein and low FODMAP. I have such a mix of different flavours going on, various combinations and different colours. I always try to have a diet that incorporates different colours, rather than monitor calories or macros. Whilst I encourage you to get in your healthy fats, carbs and proteins, I do not closely monitor my intake like how I used to. Now, I have a more holistic look at my diet and ensure I’m including a variety of different dishes with a broad range of nutrients and vitamins!
A tip that I have for this recipe is to add in your cinnamon after microwaving. This makes sure that you don’t get the cinnamon sitting on top of your mix (and makes it impossible to stir in). Adding in the cinnamon once the porridge has been in the microwaved and is a bit thicker makes it so much easier to stir in. Trust me, once I found this out, I never turned back!
Ingredients:
- 6 tbsp That Protein pumpkin seed protein powder porridge mix
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup water or almond milk
- Toppings
Method:
Step 1: add your protein to the bowl.
Step 2: pour in your water or almond milk and mix until there are no lumps. Microwave for 2 mins.
Step 3: add the cinnamon and chia seeds. Mix and leave to rest for 5 mins.
Step 4: add your toppings! I went for chia seeds, flax seeds, sliced orange, crunchy peanut butter and a drizzle of maple syrup to sweeten things up.
Serve immediately or keep in the fridge and consume within 24 hours.
