Chocanana Chocolate ripple porridge

I've been feeling a little under the weather the last few days. I've had a bit of a stomach bug (there's lots of it going around at the moment I'm told) and been almost completely off my food for the last 3 days. I say almost because I'm never completely off my food but even I have been able to eat little more than a piece of toast. It so very rarely happens to me that it really took me by surprise. Being unable to eat is so depressing, I was really looking forward to feeling hungry again so I can make up for my malnutrition and pig out!

So I've woken up today and feel a little better and slightly hungry. Apparently you should eat only plain foods when your a little off colour and no dairy. I was so bored of toast and was dying for something with a little flavour. I decided to make some porridge with a banana and water instead of milk to cut out the dairy. Also bananas are supposed to be great for soothing the stomach. I got a bit carried away and added one or two other ingredients and here's my choctastic, choconana porridge with chocolate ripple. With absolutely no fat, refined sugar or dairy.

Ingredients:

1 banana
30g porridge oats
300 mls water
Pinch salt
2 Teaspoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons dark agarve nectar

Directions:

Mash the banana and put in a pan with the oats, water, salt, I teaspoon of the cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of the agarve nectar and simmer for 10 minutes.

In a separate bowl mix the remaining agarve and cocoa into a smooth chocolate sauce consistency.

When the porridge is cooked take off the heat, pour into a bowl and swirl in the chocolate sauce to make a ripple effect.

Enjoy the chocolatiness and the soothing effect on your tummy with no guilt and no sugary insulin spike and slump! Perfection!
