One of my favorite easy, raw porridges is made of chia gel, bananas and lingonberries, all whipped together in a blender. It’s quite similar to one of Finland’s traditional porridges: whipped lingonberry porridge, that is made of semolina, lingonberries and sugar, and it’s delicious, but not very nutritious nor healthy obviously. That is why I originally wanted to create a better option for it, and the recipe became popular instantly.

This was already four years ago, and ever since I’ve been enjoying my whipped lingonberry porridge like that. Until now! Please, may I introduce whipped lingonberry porridge upgraded.

The recipe happened basically by accident: I was making smoothie or something similar and used the ingredients I had on hand. And just before adding more water into the blender, I tasted the lovely pink and pretty result, and was totally surprised by the taste. Just like the traditional lingonberry porridge, only this time made on raw cauliflower! Of course, I ditched the idea of a smoothie and served my little family raw porridge instead. And they loved it, too!

I’ve loved cauliflower many years already – one of the biggest fans, hah! It’s one of the most versatile veggie there is, and you can make almost anything out of it (well, almost, hah!). I love mashed cauliflower instead of potato, cauliflower rice is my all time favorite, it’s great in smoothies and in nice creams, in cauliflower wings – you name it! And healthy is is, too, so a great choice in that sense as well!
