Good to know

When mornings need to be quick, this bowl is a really lovely option. Warm, creamy and pleasantly satisfying without feeling heavy.

Swaps

Almonds → walnuts (more omega-3 fatty acids), honey → date syrup (unrefined sweetness), apple → pear (often a little milder, with fibre), cottage cheese → skyr (plenty of protein, slightly different texture)

Allergens

Contains milk and tree nuts. Suits children well if the almonds are finely chopped or left out, and during pregnancy it's fine as long as you use pasteurised cottage cheese.
