FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Are the cultures in vegan yogurt really vegan?
Yes, absolutely! Yogurt cultures are microorganisms – tiny living organisms that are neither animals nor plants. They’re considered vegan and perfectly fine for a vegan diet. So you can enjoy your porridge or serve it to vegan friends without worry.
What if I don’t have yogurt with active cultures?
No worries! You can still make the recipe with regular yogurt. It just won’t ferment – but your porridge will still be delicious and packed with nutrients. Just without the probiotic bonus.
Why is fermentation good for you?
During fermentation, live yogurt cultures convert certain elements of the yogurt into beneficial compounds – including probiotic bacteria that can support your gut health and digestion. Some nutrients also become more bioavailable during fermentation.
Why add protein powder to porridge?
Protein powder makes your porridge more filling and gives you a solid boost of high-quality protein to start your day. This helps maintain stable energy levels and supports muscle metabolism.
Can I store my protein porridge in the fridge?
Yes and no. You can store it overnight in the fridge. But fermentation slows down or stops in cooler temperatures. That doesn’t affect taste – your porridge will still be tasty and nutritious.
Is protein porridge healthy?
Definitely! It provides key nutrients like protein, fiber, and minerals – ideal for a strong start to the day. Adding protein powder is an easy way to boost nutrition!
Can I heat the porridge or make baked porridge with it?
You can absolutely heat it – just keep in mind that probiotic cultures don’t survive high heat. If fermentation isn’t a priority, enjoy it warm!
As for baked porridge – this exact recipe isn’t ideal yet, but don’t worry: a special baked version is already in the works!
*Our protein porridge is vegan. If you’re not vegan, feel free to use dairy yogurt and milk. Just make sure your yogurt contains active cultures.
**Frozen berries may contain harmful bacteria – always heat them before consuming. This is not necessary for fresh berries!
