Raspberry and Lemon Porridge

Oats are complex carbohydrates that help to keep us full until lunchtime and because they are really versatile, they are a store cupboard staple for me. I often eat porridge for breakfast and enjoy experimenting with different toppings which will always include a portion of nuts or seeds for protein and a portion of fruit to make it a balanced meal.

In this combination, I love the tartness of the fruit and how it combines with the slight sweetness of the pistachios. I use fresh raspberries if I have them and frozen ones when they are not in season.
