Hot cereal on the GAPS or keto diet? Yes please! This low carb porridge is made of nuts, seeds, and coconut, and is simple to mix up in batches. If you need something warm and filling in your tummy before braving the cool weather, you’ll love this recipe! This keto hot cereal is a favorite in our house, and became an obsession for a few weeks after I discovered this recipe.

Please note that hemp is illegal for SCD, but I believe it is legal for the GAPS diet.
Top this warm ‘not oatmeal’ with toasted coconut, crispy nuts, or berries if they fit into your carb counts. I love stirring in almond butter, or even sprinkling with cocoa powder.
Hemp Hearts
Hemp hearts are allowed on the GAPS diet once digestive symptoms have passed. They are high in protein and omega 3 fatty acids. They also have a great mild nutty taste that is low in carbohydrates.
Chia and Flax
Chia and flax seeds are also high in protein and omega 3 fatty acids. They absorb water well and give this keto porridge the creamy texture- without the dairy!
