CoCo-Nana Porridge

I absolutely love the combination of coconut and banana together, and with the additional sprinkling of Goji berries and Cacao powder- this bowl is made into a nutritional powerhouse! I enjoyed this after a nice heavy leg session, so the pairing of protein and carbohydrates were my main concern, with the aim to keep fats lower than usual. However a sprinkling of some crushed almonds or dark chocolate would have gone down a treat with this already delicious combination, so please feel free to add them in accordingly to fit your dietary needs and tastebuds! 



Ingredients:
50g Jordan's chunky traditional oats
250ml alpro original coconut milk
1 scoop Reflex Banoffee Pie Instant Whey Pro* (see below for possible substitutions)
10g goji berries
3g virgin organic coconut oil
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp Creative Nature Peruvian Cacao powder**

1. Add oats, coconut milk, cinnamon, and coconut oil to a saucepan and gently cook on a low heat stirring occasionally
2. When it starts to bubble, briskly stir in the banana whey then take it off the heat
3. Pour into a large, deep bowl (I find the bigger the bowl the more comforting the oats taste and feel!)
4. Top with gojji berries and cacao powder

*If you don't own whey, simply add 1/2 a mashed banana with all your ingredients in step 1.! However please note, this will of course increase the carbohydrate content of this dish!
**Cacao is basically raw cocoa- a great superfood and jam-packed with antioxidants and various nutritional health benefits so I would highly recommend it. However if you haven't had a chance to get your hands on it just yet, unsweetened cocoa powder will do the job!
