Alpro #DeskFest Fruity Marbled Porridge




My fifth and final #deskfest was just perfect for the a winter morning. It has  snowed overnight and its so chilly. A big bowl of porridge made with Alpro milk was just the thing to tuck into.

I am feeling decidedly full and warm. I made a fruit compote with some leftover raspberries and swirled it through the porridge for sweetness.Very tasty indeed.

Now we all have our own ways of making porridge, Chris makes his in the microwave, I like to make a big pan full. 



Mine was made with 50g of Scottish porridge oats and 350 ml of Alpro Soya milk. I brought them to the boil and simmered and stirred for 4 minutes.

While this was cooking, in a small pan I popped in the raspberries and a little apple juice and simmered. You can add sugar if you like it sweeter.

Then its just a case of piling your yummy porridge in a big bowl, swirling through the fruit compote and topping with some fresh raspberries. 



Granny and I had a big bowl each and the birds in the garden got the leftovers, with more snow forecast for this afternoon they need a breakfast too.

I have loved being an Alpro ambassador and eating a range of breakfasts for five days, all using Alpro goodies.
