If you’re observing Ramadhan, congratulations on getting through the first week!.

I did promise to share the odd recipe or meal idea, so here’s a good one for sehri, the meal you eat early in the morning to prepare you for fasting.

I know it sounds gross, but I love it!

I have it for breakfast on most days and it keeps me full until lunchtime (avoiding the tempting elevenses of crisps or chocolate).

So it was a natural choice for a sehri meal.

Like many of you, I struggle to have a proper meal so early in the morning (current wake-up time of 2.30am).

Spicy food is difficult to stomach, so I prefer something simple yet filling.

This porridge fits the bill, as it tastes much fresher than gloopy-warm porridge and the yoghurt and fruit combo makes it more like a rice pudding or Muller fruit corner.

Oats offer slow release energy, so you’re fuller for longer, and natural yoghurt helps settle a stomach that has endured too much fried food.

Ingredients: Rolled oats (I use Quaker Oats).

Natural yoghurt.

Any soft fruit (grapes and berries work really well with this).

To make: Soak rolled oats in a mixture of 2 parts water and 1 part fruit juice of your choice.

Use enough water and juice so that the oats are just about covered. Keep in the fridge and all to soak for at least 2-3 hours (it might be wise to soak your oats just after Iftar).

Then, stir in natural yoghurt and soft fruit.

And that’s it!

Ready to eat.

Ramadhan Mubarak all!
