Spiced pear porridge
Carla Oates, author of The Beauty Chef Gut Guide, says: ‘This delightfully spiced and nourishing porridge boasts all nine essential amino acids, which we need to obtain from food because our bodies can’t make them. This porridge’s lovely spices have antispasmodic and anti-fungal properties, and both pears and coconut milk bring antiinflammatory benefits. They contain a prebiotic known as arabinogalactan, shown to stimulate the production of short-chain fatty acids – compounds that have a profound influence on the health of your microbiome, and therefore your health.’
