Oats Porridge with Almonds and Dates

This is an another healthy breakfast with a combination of oats, alomnds and dates with lots of fibre, iron and other vitamins and minerals. No artificial sweetners. A Highland hero for centuries, oats are the healthy, slow energy-release cereal that gets digested easily for any one. You can use any variety, either rolled or crushed, still have all the nutrients. Powdered one is used to make instant porridge. I like the traditional, thick, whole oat flakes.
