Celebrate St Patrick's Day, March 17, with two healthy breakfast recipes from Flahavan's

It is Ireland’s leading producer of Irish oat-based products.

Here are two recipes using the company's oats just in time for St Patrick’s Day, March 17.

Flahavan’s Super Green Porridge (Serves 2)

Ingredients: 80g Flahavan’s Organic Irish Porridge Oats

350ml milk

180ml fresh coconut drink

70g cashews, soaked overnight

1 ½ tbsp honey

Juice ½ orange

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp chlorella or spirulina

Handful of pecan nuts roughly chopped

Honey for drizzling

Method:

Mix the Flahavan’s Organic Irish Porridge Oats and milk in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring frequently.

Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 5 minutes.

Mix the coconut drink, cashews, honey, orange, vanilla and chlorella in a blender and blend until smooth.

Serve your porridge in a bowl and mix in your chlorella blend.

Sprinkle over the pecan nuts and drizzle with honey.

Flahavan’s Overnight Irish Breakfast Shake (Serves 3-4)

Ingredients:

50g Flahavan’s Organic Irish Porridge Oats

250ml almond milk

2 tsp cocoa powder

½ tsp ground cinnamon

Agave syrup/honey, to taste

1 small banana, sliced and frozen overnight

Handful of popcorn (flavour of choice)

Method

Mix the Flahavan’s Organic Irish Porridge Oats, almond milk, cocoa powder, cinnamon and agave syrup/honey in a re-sealable bowl and leave in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, add the banana to the oat mixture, then place in a blender and blend until completely smooth.

If the shake is too thick, add more milk for a thinner consistency; if it's not sweet enough, add more of your preferred sweetener.

Top with popcorn to give your oaty Irish stout some extra-special ‘froth’.
