Yes it is a carb rich food, but a damn good one, and carbs like this are not to be feared but embraced! They release energy slowly and are a fuel that your gut bacteria LOVE. We really need to keep those gut bugs healthy given they have an impact on your mood as well as a million other functions.

Here’s how to power up your porridge!
