Eat this recipe for: This porridge is one of my favorite breakfast recipes, inspired by my many trips to India.It’s tasty, satisfying, improves gut health, has immune system benefits and ultimately has a glowing skin effect.

Top 3 Instagram accounts for inspiration: 

@sophia_roe She is such an inspiring chef. I just love the way she shares things on Instagram, her raw honesty and never-ending creativity.

@herbalacademy As an herbal medicine enthusiast, I’ve decided this year to follow one of their herbal courses. I honestly think it’s never too late to learn!

@rachellerobinett She is a very inspiring herbalist, she shares her tips, recipes and overall positive vibes. I think we all need that right now.

 Favorite skin food ingredient and why: Brazil nuts are nutritional powerhouses, providing healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. It’sparticularly high in selenium, a mineral with potent antioxidant properties. I grate them with a veggie peeler, on salads, veggies, risotto, pasta. I also make vanilla brazil nut milk, perfect pair for a healthy skin.

Go-to quick, healthy meal: I love to improvise with what I have in my fridge. My go to meal starts by filling a bowl with greens, such as baby spinach, romaine lettuce or kale. Then I add steamed broccoli, leaks, carrots or sweet potatoes, sprouts, pickled onions, fermented veggies, cooked brown rice, beans or lentils and not to forget a tasty dressing like lemon vinaigrette or a garlic tahini dressing.

Skincare mantra: Beauty comes from within. Let it glow.

1 ½ cup water

1 cup coconut milk (or any other plant milk)

4 tbsp coconut flour (or almond meal)

2 tbsp psyllium husk

1 tbsp hemp hearts

2 tsp cinnamon powder

2 tsp of sweetener of choice like maple syrup, date syrup, coconut blossom sugar

2 tsp of your favorite adaptogen powder or tincture.

Optional toppings: seasonal fruits, goji berries, coconut flakes, and cacao nibs.

Directions:

There are two ways to prepare it. You can place all the ingredients (except coconut oil) in a bowl, mix with a spoon, cover it and let it sit for two hours or overnight.

Or you can also combine the ingredients (except coconut oil) in a pan, over low heat, and stir constantly. In a few minutes the porridge will thicken. Transfer to your favorite bowls and stir in sweetener of choice and coconut oil. Garnish with toppings of choice. Enjoy in mindfulness.
