Chocolate peanut banana porridge.

I decided to mix up my regular breakfast porridge and add banana to the main bulk of the porridge instead of as a topping. It tasted good but so sweet! I think I would have it again as a dessert but not for breakfast.

It’s funny I used to have a real sweet too and always lived by the notion that dessert was the best course of a meal. However over the past few years I’ve moved towards having more of a savoury tooth. I’d much rather go for a starter or cheese board than any rich dessert. I think it must be a sign of getting old-haha. But has anyone else gone through this faze too? 

I simply measured out 50g oats as normal then added chopped banana and mashing. I then added around 100ml milk as usual and microwaved for 1 minute. Once heated I added half a scoop of my favourite whey protein – My protein chocolate peanut butter and some chia seeds. 

Try this if you have a sweet tooth! 

The best almond butter.

I’ve recently given Buff bake nut butters a go. My favourite was definitely the snickerdoodle almond butter with added flax and chia seeds. It’s delicious!

There are different ways to enjoy trying the nut butter. My favourite way is on top of porridge with some sliced banana (pictured above), but you can have it with apple, eat it straight out of the packet or even have it with veggies like celery as the packaging suggests (not sure I’ll be giving that a go though)! 

It has added whey protein too which makes the macros quite incredible:

The product is available in jars or 32g sachets. I go for the sachets which come in packs of 10.
