# What You'll Need:
→ Grains
01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
→ Greens
03 - 1 cup baby spinach, packed
04 - ½ cup kale, stems removed
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

11 - 2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds
12 - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
# How To Make:
01 - Combine oats and milk in a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
02 - Once simmering, reduce heat to low and cook for 5–7 minutes until oats are creamy and tender, stirring occasionally.
03 - Place spinach, kale, parsley, and 2 tablespoons water in a blender. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
04 - Stir the green puree into the cooked porridge. Add maple syrup or honey, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly until well combined and heated through.
05 - Divide the porridge between two serving bowls. Top each bowl with vegetable chips, toasted pumpkin seeds, and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately while hot.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The vegetable chips add this incredible salty crunch that makes every spoonful feel like a treat
- You can prep the green puree the night before and literally have breakfast ready in under ten minutes
02 -
- The vegetable chips will get soggy within minutes so add them right before eating and do not try to meal prep this aspect
- Blending the greens while the oats cook is the key to timing, otherwise the porridge cools down too much
03 -
- If your green puree tastes too grassy, blend in half an avocado, it makes everything impossibly creamy and mellow
- A squeeze of lemon juice right before serving brightens all the flavors and makes the green color pop even more
