Really glad to hear it faffa
If you do any variations of your own, I'd love to know so I can try them too

Ooh, I love the look of this one & especially like the chocolate option too. I'm in hot & humid Hong Kong right now, but will be making this for brekky just as soon as I get home to the winter chill.

Having fun over there Amanda?

Fab food Judy! It's bloody humid here, though & I hate that. My hair has gone completely mad and is sticking straight up in corkscrew curls - I've given up on it.
We leave tomorrow night for Italy - more great food.
I shall be the size of the Goodyear blimp at the end of this!

Ha ha, I can just see your hair reacting to the humidity.

Hi everyone,

I posted this photo on the other thread for this recipe in Breakfasts, and thought I would post here as well.

I made this one tonight and put a small handful of blueberries in the bottom of my glass first.

That sounds nice. I have made it twice now. The first one was a little too bananary ( is that a word?) for me as my bananas were very strong. This morning I only put in half a banana and some Crio Bru and adjusted the proportions slightly. I debated whether I should blitz the Crio with the oats- I didn't and I should have. It was a bit gritty.
It caught a little on the bottom of my Thermo Chef, but not as bad as the other porridges I have tried. With a little more tweaking I think I'm on a winner.
Thanks Amy!

No worries ES, glad to hear you're experimenting!!!

I like a good strong banana flavour, so I often use very ripe bananas Just my personal preference I am yet to try Judy's version with the apple, but I will soon.

[EmeraldSue]

Oh, somehow I missed JD's suggestion about the apple. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow, but I still have half a banana in the fridge...

I did make it this morning with apple instead of banana. I also blitzed the Crio Bru with the oats.. I liked this a lot, but it's hard to get my head around chocolate porridge. It just doesn't sound right somehow.

Glad the apple and Croi Bru worked for you ES
Lol don't worry about the chocolate porridge thing. I haven't actually tried it yet either. I like good old fruit with my porridge
