Grate about 1/3 of an orange rind and finely grate a carrot (about 100 grams).

In a saucepan, combine grated carrot, orange peel, 90 grams of oats, and 50 grams of currants.

Add 250 ml of lowfat milk and a few drops of vanilla essence to the saucepan.

Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger.

Heat the mixture gently on the stove for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

If using a microwave, heat gently and avoid boiling, or soak overnight in the fridge instead.

After 5 minutes, the mixture should thicken into a gloopy porridge.

Pour the porridge into a bowl and add 50 grams of high-protein lowfat yogurt if desired, either hot or cold.

For garnish, add tiny shreds of carrot on top if you like.

Optionally, add honey for extra sweetness if desired.
