How do I make porridge less boring?

[speccy1]

I know the purists here will probably shoot me down in flames

But, after years and years of eating plain porridge made with either water or milk, I`m sick to death of it. I want to go on eating the stuff because it`s healthy. How does everybody else make it a bit more interesting??

I`m open to any ideas!

Put some garlic and curry powder in it.

Jokin.

I use dried fruit. A splosh of brandy if im having a lazy day.

Substitute it for a bacon sandwich?

But seriously, add golden syrup from a squeezy bottle. Calories, shmalories.

Throw it in the bin and have a fry-up.

Just started eating porridge again as part of my new years health regime, probably too soon to be bored of it yet.
I just use milk and add some honey to sweeten, may try a few slices of banana.

I make porridge in the microwave with milk and mix up some vanila flavour protein powder and pour a little in to the porridge and add a banana or some berries

I make mine with water, because milk is for softies. I then add some milled linseed and goji berries, because I'm all middle-class and that. From Aldi, because I'm tight.

(and I end up eating the same cereal as the kid at least twice a week - Crunch Nut Cornflakes and Mini Shredded Wheat this morning)

Nuts. Dried fruit and berries. Dessicated coconut. Muscovado sugar. Probably lots of other things but cooking is a bit of a spontaneous what's-to-hand affair chez moi.

I have mine every day with sultanas and milk, I love it and don't get bored of it.

 

[sight-pin]

Try it with a little cinnamon
