I don’t really like porridge, but as a runner it’s supposed to be a bit like rocket fuel so this year while training for the marathon I thought I’d step out of my comfort zone (crunchy nut cornflakes) and give the oats a go.
My problem is, I really don’t like milk. It’s nothing personal I just can’t drink it or have any more than a splash in my tea or on my cereal. The same goes for cream, crème fraîche and anything like that.
As you can imagine, this presents a bit of a problem when you want to eat porridge. I’ve spoken to others about how they eat their porridge and it was suggested that I use water with a splash of milk so this morning I tried this. It looked pretty grim when it came out of the microwave and I had to pep it up with some sugar, but I at the whole lot. Not the greatest experience in the world but something to work on!
How do you eat yours?

With banana slices and a little squeeze of honey. Plain porridge is grim!

70g of oats made with water with a little milk to bring the temperature down so can be eaten right away, add sultanas or honey. And was bowl out right away or it’ll be impossible to clean!

Brown sugar and… Milk. Sorry, but I love the stuff.

I have a similar problem as think I’m a bit lactose intolerant, so anything milky tends to cause digestive issues (if you know what I mean!). I’m enjoying Almond milk and soya pouring yoghurt on my cereal but not sure it would work with porridge as I don’t know if Almond milk should be heated. I make porridge with water and stir some cold Almond milk through it. Not quite the same, but it does the job 🙂

Just checked the Internet. The Alpro site has a great recipe for Almond milk porridge, so I guess it would work….. Might try it tomorrow!
