Porridge with almonds & cinnamon is a perfect breakfast for supporting health specifically when managing blood sugar. Oats contain a soluble fibre called beta-glucan which slows down food transit in the intestines so that food takes longer for the body to digest. Slower digestion means the body doesn’t absorb sugar as quickly so you don’t get a blood sugar spike.
