Luca’s Yummy-In-My-Tummy Porridge

Luca has been having this ‘porridge since he was a wee baby. There is so much healthful goodness and ‘love’ packed into this porridge from Mother Nature. I hope your child enjoys it as much as we have and still do! Make it smoother for younger babies and chunkier for tots, or older children.

Ingredients (nut free):

-1 Pear (chopped)-1 Apple (chopped)-1 Mango

-1/4 Avocado

-1/2 Cup Chopped blueberries, or strawberries

-2 Tbsp Filtered Water

-3 Heaped Tbsp Chia Seeds

-2 Tbsp Hemp Seeds

-1tsp Orange Zest

-1 tsp Cinnamon (ground)

-A pinch of blissful imagination

 

Method:

Blend ingredients in a high powered blender into a puree except for the chia seeds, hemp seeds and strawberries, or blueberries.
Fold in the chia seeds, hemp seeds and chopped fruits.
Refrigerate for at least 20 mins before serving so that the chia seeds thicken (they are mucilaginous) and have a porridge like consistency.
For more ‘flavour’, allow the chia seeds to sit in the fruit puree the night before. The next morning add the rest of the ingredients in. Chia seeds can soak up to 12x their weight and are incredibly hydrating for the body!
Note: In place of fruit ‘puree’ try using freshly made almond milk for a more ‘milky’ porridge and add 2 tsp of raw organic coconut nectar (low GI) to replace the fruits sweetness.

  Initially found your site by looking for a First Birthday Cake that was allergen free. Since it is july & i have no oven it was even more exciting to find the Raw bday cake you did for your sons 8th bday. Thanks for sharing. I am pumped to get back into the raw foods for my kids. Particularly because they have so many food allergies. When people ask “but what do you eat wo milk, soy, peanuts, fish, etc” I always answer “LOTS of Fruit & Veggies!”
