Dried fruit

I personally enjoy sultanas with my porridge. Goji berries are a superfood treat. What other dried fruits would you add to your breakfast?

Chopped nuts

Get a chopping board and a proper knife. Cut up little bits of walnuts, almonds… whatever you’re into.

Cinnamon

I sprinkle a lot of cinnamon into my porridge. Look around for bulk quantities of this ingredient and other flavours.

Seeds

Ground linseed is pretty accessible. Chia seeds and hemp are great too.

Anyone can use natural, mainstream ingredients for a centrepiece instead of Tofurky.

No offence to the fake meat industries, but I know some plant-based health nuts and omnivorous folks who feel more comfortable with familiar ingredients. This is why we need to consider homemade centrepiece roasts when preparing for festivities.
