Not sure whether this topic has been discussed before but apologies if so.

So, what do you like in your morning porridge (assuming you eat porridge at all)?

Usually I purchase the Golden Syrup by Oats so simple, but I'm looking to have a change. Maybe blueberries or blackcurrants. Heck, does peanut butter work? Damn, I forgot to buy the chocolate spread.. :):D :oops:

Will try cocoa powder tomorrow, though I am not very adventurous (keep this thread clean :wink: )

    I have skimmed milk, crushed walnuts for omega 3, cranberries for fast acting carbs, and cinnamon to lower blood sugar!

    I would like to have muscavado sugar :D

  • Skimmed milk, sultanas before work or a spoonful of honey before a ride. Sometimes I chuck in a dollop of bran.

    Apple and a banana, both pre nuked before the main milk nuking of the porridge.

    I tend to have banana. My favourite is to be done with the muck and just scrape the porridge into the bin.

    So you like your banana porridge with the oats scraped into the bin...interesting concept. I might try this porridge recipe tomorrow.
  • Cooked in almond milk and water with salt, topped with ground flaxseed, honey and banana.

    On most days, just cooked in water with salt, topped with honey.
  • Gentlemens relish
  • honey and cinnamon, sometimes with raisins/sultanas - have chopped up some dates into the mix before...

    Honey and sultanas. And I wouldn't touch crap like Oat So Simple if I were starving*. Buy yourself some decent oats (not ones which have been rolled until they're virtually dust) and transport yourself to breakfast heaven.

    *Actually, I probably would.
  • dried mango and raisins - with some golden syrup

    Oh no - its late and I'm now hungry

    No, not not impressed. It is difficult to scrape all the oats off the banana and it leaves quite a mess.

    Just ordinary porridge oats (none of that instant stuff, no point) made with milk in the nuke box and sugar on the top.

    My dentist said "if you want to see less of me, eat porridge instead of cereals"
    seemed like a fair deal so I've been doing it ever since (three years now summer and winter)


    The older I get, the better I was.

  • Milk, grapes, sultanas and honey.

    Pre ride heaven. :D

    Bananas and sultanas, porridge made with water, not salt or sugar.

    Also tried it with half a tin of peaches - yum.

    Did the job this cold morning.
    All the gear, but no idea...
