1. Peanut Butter and Banana Porridge
Add 1 tablespoon (20g) of Peanut Butter and 1 whole sliced Banana.
Nutritionist Charlie Parker says:
‘Not only does this topping make a delicious rich nutty porridge, but it also provides you with one of your 5 a day, extra protein and fibre, a source of potassium and Vitamin B₆. It’s even high in monounsaturated fats. If you fancy going wild, add an American twist of chopped crispy bacon!’
2. Mixed Red Berries and Seeds Porridge
Add 80g of chopped strawberries, 40g of blueberries and 40g raspberries Nutritionist Charlie Parker says:This will provide 2 of your 5 a day, as well as being high in Vitamin C. If you fancy adding a little extra fibre and protein, throw on some sunflower, sesame, flax or chia seeds. A sprinkle of mint on top will add that lovely taste of summer too!
3. Dried Apricots, Figs and Almonds Porridge
Add 30g of chopped dried apricots, 30g of chopped dried figs and 20g of whole almonds (feel free to chop up if you don’t want such a chunky bite) Nutritionist Charlie Parker says:This topping will provide one of your five a day, a source of fibre and iron, which plays a role in reducing tiredness and fatigue, as well as being high in monounsaturated fats

Why not sprinkle some cinnamon on top to add a lovely bit of spice”
