Colder weather definitely makes me want to be cozy. But I especially love cozy, stormy winter mornings! Makes me want to lounge around in my PJ’s and read books all day! Stormy mornings also mean I want yummy warming foods that are comforting. So on cold mornings, this has become a favorite of mine!

Let’s Look at the Ingredients

Not only is it tasty, but it is hearty and filling and filled with live raw food nutrition if you use raw, unprocessed nuts! It’s a nourishing powerhouse, packed with wholesome ingredients to fuel your day.

Ingredients for a warming, hearty breakfast porridge, made with nuts, coconut milk, bananas and warming spices.

Almonds, pecans, and cashews provide a blend of healthy fats, plant-based protein, and essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and copper, supporting heart health, brain function, and energy production.

Creamy coconut milk adds a dose of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) for sustained energy and gut health.

The bananas contribute natural sweetness, potassium, and fiber to aid digestion and keep you feeling full.

Warming Spices: Plus the warming cinnamon-y spices make it feel extra cozy to me, for some reason.

How To Make The Porridge

This recipe does require a little bit of planning and preparation the night before, but it’s definitely not hard…unless it’s “hard” to remember to do ahead of time! ~wink~wink~ But really it just requires remembering to measure out the nuts in a large bowl and covering them with water to soak overnight.

Then, the next morning you just need to rinse and drain the nuts and combine everything else in a blender until smooth, then warming it up. Easy enough, right?

So without further ado… Here is the recipe:
