Everybody needs a boost in the morning. If you’re somebody who likes an intense workout early in the day, you need energy and we have you sorted. The Breakfast Rice Porridge is great for when you need that extra push. Not only does it include those complex carbs for sustained energy, but includes minerals like potassium which you need during sustained exercise.

Rinsing the rice helps get rid of excess starch and creates the fluffiest rice you’ve ever had. It takes about the same time to make cooked oats, so your routine won’t be changed in the morning. The banana adds extra potassium to help with preventing cramps, especially if you’re an endurance athlete. The nuts contain those important fats which get converted to energy as well. Breakfast Rice Porridge is the perfect pre-workout meal and is only 401 calories.

If you need that extra kick of energy in the morning, the Breakfast Rice Porridge is here to give you the boost you need before your workout.
