Reheating Porridge

If you end up with extra porridge, you could refrigerate it for a couple of days. In fact, you could even portion it out and freeze it in freezer-safe bags for a few months! Keep in mind that grains continue to absorb all the flavor and moisture from the other ingredients and, thus, will thicken up. Simply splash in some extra almond milk before reheating and you’ll get that creamy texture back. There’s a couples ways to revive this delicious dish:

Stovetop: Simply simmer leftovers on low heat until it’s thoroughly heated – about 5 minutes.

Microwave: Microwave for a minute and then stir before heating for an additional minute.
