What's Great About It:
This porridge recipe is a great way to sneak some vegetables into your morning meal! Zucchini has a mild flavour and texture, making it a great option for boosting the fibre content of breakfast oats even further. Try serving with any of your favourite toppings, such as almonds, chia seeds, or a range of different fruits.
