This warm porridge makes a super satisfying and nutrient-dense breakfast. It’s filled with sunflower, pumpkin, chia, hemp, flax, and poppy seeds providing a variety of vitamins and minerals with healthy fats and protein to power up your day. 

Steel cut oats create a thick texture with beta-glucans, a type of soluble fiber, and also provide iron, protein, and B vitamins. The blackberry compote on top offers vitamins C and K with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This is one the whole family will love.
