Porridge?

Exercise: Dancing
Food: 7 over ripe bananas, mango, spinach and goji berry smoothie, green salad with pomodorino tomatoes, cucumber and coriander and lime dressing, couple of Lara raw bars (apple pie, and pecan pie), 'porridge' a few almonds just before bed and was doing so well before that, hadn't eaten since 9.30pm and going to bed around 1am. Tomorrow is another day .. Still eating from 12 noon but still working on a good 'end of eating' time.

Devised a great recipe that tastes just like porridge, how cool is that just as we are moving into winter. It's so simple just two ingredients and some water. Take three very ripe bananas (lots of brown spots) and two full tablespoons (or more) of sundried, raw shredded coconut and put in Blendtech (or whatever you have) and blend to whatever smoothness or choppiness you want. Even when smooth it's still 'bitty' due to the coconut, and you can thicken it up with more banana if you like your porridge solid. It tasted divine and looked like porridge, pour into a little round bowl and adorn with berries or anything else you fancy. Or just go au naturel. Great for 'cookies' wanting to add some more healthful fare to their diet, and simple and nutritious for children too. If you add more water you get a 'milky' smoothie. Two for the price of one. A word of warning though, I wanted some more but spotty bananas were finished. Used a couple of yellow ones with no green bits but tasted 'green' to me. Just so you know.

I know there are recipes for nut based porridge but they will be quite rich for a lot of us for regular consumption, plus they don't necessarily look like porridge. Minor aside. I got my coconut from Wholefoods in New York, but sure it wouldn't be hard to get hold of - try supermarkets, speciality food shops, health food stores, and the good old Internet.
