If you want the perfect start to a winter morning, porridge has got to be it. It has a low glycaemic index, which means that it releases energy slowly so that you feel fuller for longer and it takes literally minutes to prepare, either on the stove or in a microwave if you're at work. Just make sure that you make it the right way and don't add too many unhealthy things.
I make mine with skimmed milk and water, and add a tablespoon of low fat yoghurt for a creamier taste. Other favourites included grated apple, or 2tsps of pumpkin seeds and raisins soaked in apple juice, or blueberries (get the frozen kind from the supermarket - much cheaper!). And for a special treat, it also makes a tasty, healthy dessert - try making it with skimmed milk and a little low fat coconut milk and top with diced mango.
