Banana and Honey Porridge.


I have never seen the attraction of porridge at all. It has always just been sludge and only tasting alright with piles of sugar on it.
When I was in London, this all changed. We were in Marks and Spencer grabbing breakfast and Georgia got the Banana and Honey Porridge. She didn't finish it all so I had the rest. It was so tasty and wholesome. I could tell that it had been cooked in milk and left quite milky.

So, I tried to make some myself. I have had it the past 3 mornings and the difference it makes to my apeitite through out the day is amazing. I'm not hungry and craving everything.

You need about a handful of porridge oats per person. Slice some banana in it. I use half a banana for one serving, a whole banana for a 2 servings etc. Add Honey, a fair bit and some brown sugar. Heat it up slowly while continually stirring it to break up the banana. I always add more milk in to it at the end to moisten it up.

I serve it with more honey and sugar on top and voila! I have had it with a smoothie made with freshly squeezed orange juice, a banana and a few strawberries.
