Raspberry Porridge

 

At last it's half term and I'm on day one of ten lovely days off.  I am planning to enjoy every. single. one. of. them.

We are planning to spend a few of the ten days at the coast and if today's weather is anything to go by, then I will be really happy.  It's still cold but at last it is bright and even the sun made an appearance.  Perfect for cliff top walking, one of my favourite pastimes

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I started the day with a bowl of raspberry porridge....yum. I love porridge and make lots of different flavours.  This one is healthy and my huge bowl full was only 268 calories.  I am cutting down and trying to eat a bit healthier but I am not on a diet ;)

 

:: For the Raspberry Porridge ::

In a large microwaveable container ( I use a 2 litre plastic jug) Mix 40g of porridge oats, with 100ml of milk, 50ml of water, a handful of raspberries and sugar, honey or sweetner to taste.  (I use Splenda).  I do like a big spoonful because the raspberries are very tart. Microwave on high for 4 minutes and then transfer to a bowl to cool down a little before eating.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After breakfast I did some cleaning and then decided to have a bit of a pamper session.  I've had a bubble bath, face pack, washed and styled my hair and used some of the Body Shop Body Butter I received 3 tubs of for Christmas.  That should last me a while. I've had a pedicure & manicure and now i feel all soft and squeaky clean.

I tried this new Styling Oil from Got2b by Schwartzopf, it's really good for a low cost product and my hair is lovely and soft.

I love porridge. In fact, it's so wretchedly cold here (old house, rubbish heating) that I might make a bowl right now.

I've been eating rather a lot of porridge recently, usually with grated apple and/or blueberries. Had a bowl of it for lunch the other day!

dotty - porridge does the trick for warming you up, i always think of the ready break advert from the 80's with the orange line around the body :)

Liz - I like those flavours too. Ohh now I fancy some with grated apple, I haven't had that for ages.

Yum, I love raspberries in porridge! Can't beat a good lathering of body butter, I used to work for the Body Shop so have the most ridiculously huge collection...it's the one thing I'll always re-buy though! Hope you enjoyed the coast x
