Since I’ve been following a low FODMAP/SIBO protocol, I’ve been experimenting so many different recipes. When it comes to breakfast, you can see my savoury and sweet pancake variations here. But today I’ve got a variation on a winter warmer for you! Carrot Cake Porridge!
Carrots are full of beta-carotene (help with night vision) and are naturally sweet meaning there’s no need to add another sweetener to the dish (important for SIBO protocol). The hemp or brown rice protein powder are the protein source of this dish – hemp protein is a greenish colour thus my photo doesn’t look as ‘orange’ as you’d expect for something using carrots! Quinoa is a pseudograin that provides complex carbohydrates and protein. The coconut butter and toppings (tahini, coconut cream, hemp seeds) balance out the dish with healthy fats!
This perfectly balanced porridge will keep you satisfied until lunch (and even beyond in some cases)!
