“Warming and nourishing, this porridge is the perfect breakfast to support gut health and set you up for the day. The oats provide sustained energy and heaps of fibre to keep you feeling full. Gentle spices like cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, and their polyphenols feed healthy bacteria in the gut. The pear adds natural sweetness and more gut-loving fibre, while the pecans and coconut deliver healthy fat to make it a satisfying and balanced meal. Show your gut even more love by adding a spoon of kefir yoghurt on top,” says nutritional therapist Alexa Mullane.
