So I do a reasonable amount of staying in hotels and things, and I don’t each such a wide variety of things for health or environment reasons that the stupidly expensive breakfasts are usually just made of me eating horrible cardboard tasting toast. So then I thought ‘well I like porridge now!’ and ‘I hear you can buy ‘instant’ versions of that stuff’. Then a cursory glance on my next shopping expedition revealed the skimmed milk powder, etc. etc. So I wondered about making my own version. Then I googled a bit. Then I bought some Soy Milk Powder off of eBay and low and behold I HAZ INVENTED INSTANT VEGAN PORRIDGE/borrowed the idea from the hundreds of brilliant food bloggers out there.
Ingredients:
Each portion is 95g, works out at 390 kcal, and is made by adding 120ml of boiling water, and any more to taste. You can take it in a container, or even make it in the mugs in your hotel room! The exclamation mark is to show how exciting this is!
Here are the ingredients weighed out in a big ol’ bowl (1 portion pictured)
mix them together
Add 120 ml of water, or just guess at about a 1/4 of a cup, and add more until it’s the consistency you like. Stir and stand for a minute. Eat in the smug satisfaction of having avoided paying Holiday Inn £12.50 for toast. It’s not as tasty as the proper hob cooked stuff I make with real soya milk, but much much better than the alternative.
mmm… hotel camping.
