This morning I felt like a hearty porridge, but was bored of my normal concoctions. So I came up with this zesty little number that’s very reasonable with the calories. If you don’t want it so lemony, reduce the zest and juice! Very filling and great for those with a sweet tooth!

• juice 1/2 lemon
