5 delicious additives that make porridge an unhealthy breakfast: watch out!

When we say “porridge”, we usually mean “healthy food”. And it’s also simple, quick and tasty: you really don’t want to spend precious minutes of morning sleep on long cooking!

Are you sad? Don’t worry, because you can add many other goodies to the porridge!

For instance:

Believe me, this is enough to diversify breakfasts.
