Lupin comes from the legume family and is ridiculously high in protein (4g per tablespoon!) and dietary fibre (3.7g per tablespoon!). It's also low in carbohydrate and fat so it is quite low in energy while keeping you full and satisfied. 

You can find out if it is stocked in a store near you or order it online on the Lupin Co website https://thelupinco.com.au/stockists/ 

This lupin porridge recipe provides an awesome hit of 23g of protein and 18g of fibre - and of course, tastes delicious!! 

SERVES: 1

INGREDIENTS:

- 1/4 cup rolled oats

- 2 tablespoons lupin flakes

- 1/2-1 cup milk

- 1tsp cinnamon

- drop of vanilla essence or vanilla bean

TOPPINGS (you can use whatever toppings you wish, but these ones tasted really good all together!)

- 100g Greek yoghurt

- 1 cup raspberries (frozen or fresh)

- 10 dry roasted hazelnuts halves

- 1tsp shredded coconut

- 1tsp maple syrup

- 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves

METHOD:

1. Place the oats and lupin in a small saucepan and pour enough milk over to just cover the dry ingredients. Mix in the cinnamon and vanilla and leave to stand for 15 mins or so (have a shower or make your lunch in the meantime! Soaking the dry ingredients first makes for a softer, creamier porridge)

2. Turn the heat onto medium-high, stirring. Once the milk starts to bubble, turn the heat down to low. Add some more milk (approx 100ml) and stir until thickened 

3. Top with your toppings and enjoy!
