Margot says
I have been relying heavily on this recipe for the past few months as I deal with a weird health condition that involves severe episodes of vertigo and thus nausea. This is the only thing that is gentle enough on my system and that is also emotionally soothing- it goes down like a comfort food. I confess that I *do* have one minor modification in that I don't add flaxseed just cuz I never have it on my shelves. Also, I caution others to not try this in the microwave like I did. It requires too much babysitting to be worth it as it will overflow very quickly and will not thicken. Take the time to do it as instructed 🙂 Thank you- all your recipes are the best!

Hi Margot, thanks so much for your sweet comment. We're happy to hear that this recipe has been of comfort to you and hope you're back to feeling 100% soon. Vertigo is the WORST. Hang in there.

I just want to say thank you for sharing this recipe! It has truly been a life saver for me. I've always struggled with eating in the morning but this is so good! I enjoy it cold with fresh berries & nuts. Sometimes I will put a bit of sugar free jam and OMG it's delish! When I make it, I quadruple the recipe so I can have some cold, however, my first bowl is always hot of course and I usually add dark chocolate and nuts too and that is like cheating...lol... the chips get all melted and oh boy!
The only extra thing I add during the cooking process is 2 scoops of vanilla protien powder and it turns out amazing every time. Thanks again this is da bomb !
