Fuel for the Pool Porridge

The oats and bananas are both good sources of slow release carbohydrates, which help build reserves of glycogen that provide energy for swimming.

The milk and seeds provide protein to support muscle growth, repair and recovery.

Blueberries are rich in anti-oxidants that boost the immune system. This dish is quick and easy to prepare which is vital for swimmers who traditionally swim early in the morning.

Benefits: Fuel a swim session.

Ingredients: Serves 1

Directions

Warm the oats and milk together (in a pan or microwave), stirring regularly, to make porridge. Transfer to two bowls.

In each one stir in the blueberries and chia seeds. Slice and add the banana and sprinkle with cocoa nibs.
