Healthy Diet - Almond Porridge


Choosing healthy fats is highly important, almonds contain high amounts of protein as well as Omeg-3s which are vital in lowering cardiovascular disease risks.

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup almonds, ground using a food processor 
- 3/4 cup coconut cream (I recommend Thai coconut milk, whole fat from the can, or Sodelicious coconut milks as well). 
- 1 teaspoon natural sweetener
- I recommend that you choose which flavor you would like from below. 
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder (optional) 
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional) 
- 1 teaspoon organic cocoa powder (optional) 

Directions:
1. Heat the coconut cream in a small saucepan on medium heat until it forms a liquid.
2. Add in the ground almonds and sweetener and stir to mix in.
3. Keep stirring for approximately 5 minutes (it'll start to thicken a bit more).
4. Add in the spices (have a taste to check whether you want more sweetener or spices) and serve hot.
