Other than when out of town or on vacation a few times out of the year, it is the same porridge day in and day out.
Perhaps you're thinking what good is that?!
No matter how healthy it is, she'll still miss out on the nutrients that other food provide! Peachy teaches...'variety is one of the keys'... so why is she eating the same stuff every single day? This breakfast porridge is not as simple as you think. To make this breakfast food, it takes a good amount of diligence and dedication. Sometimes it even gets strategical.
First of all, there are 10 carefully selected organic ingredients (blueberries not included in bags for sale). Each one was chosen for its health benefits.
Peachy gets a little serious about her nutrient intake, making sure that nothing is left out, every body part and function is protected and maintained.
Every morning she pulls out 10 packages of stuff, adds a little bit of each of the 10 ingredients in a one quart stainless steel pot, then adds vanilla almond milk, coconut milk, organic soy, 7 Grain milk and rice milk, covers with a lid, cooks on low and gets ready for the day. She then pours it in a glass jar and drinks it in the car on the way to work or play.
Until one day, daughter Brittany asks if she could take a batch with her to work and will add milk and just nook it at work.
This was when the porridge mixture was developed. Peachy had to measure it out for her so she can take a nice size tub-full with her. At first a few co workers asked to have a batch made for them.......and there you have it. I guess they like the taste!
