Banana & Date Porridge

Banana & Date Porridge

We often make this delicious porridge in winter so it is ready and waiting when we come home from training in the morning. It is warm and comforting whilst providing fibre for a healthy gut and LDL cholesterol levels, carbohydrate to replace the glycogen stores post training and protein to aid in muscle repair and synthesis.Course: Breakfast Servings: 2 people Author: Alethea Mills
