This is my refined sugar free chocolate porridge recipe, made in a mistral thermocooker. I make this for a treat for my kids and they love it.

Well ripened bananas are great for replacing sugar! Top with fruit, grated chocolate, seeds or nuts of choice

A small dessert porridge; a low(er) calorie treat that packs a punch of porridge flavor!

You can use all water or all milk in porridge if you prefer for the liquids and of course any toppings you like, these are just some starter ideas

‘Hey weather! Please make up your mind!’ It’s so cold in the morning and it’s so hot in the afternoon. A lot of people get sick. It’s time to eat some warm porridge to keep us healthy. IG @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel

Mango Dalia is a sweet porridge made with broken wheat, milk and mangoes. My mother used to make this sweet porridge for breakfast and I used to save some and had it after dinner as a dessert. It is a great way to use mangoes which are very healthy and nutritious. I don't use any sweetner for this Dalia as mango puree provides the sweetness and creamy texture as well. But sometimes the mangoes are not sweet enough and you have to add a little sugar or any other sweetner to enhance the taste.This porridge is a great way to start your day. Broken wheat provides all the benefits of a grain, mangoes provide the nutrients of a fruit and milk is a great source of calcium and protein. Together they make a complete healthy breakfast meal. It is good for growing kids also. This one pot meal can be prepared in advance and can be kept in the refrigerator for 6-7 hours. It tastes best when served chilled. #CookClick

I love old style cooking and natural products. Proper old school Red Velvet cake is coloured using beetroot and that's what I use in mine rather that dye. This of course is basically chocolate porridge but calling it Red Velvet makes it sound more exotic to my kids and they eat it faster!

Finger millet is a great source of iron and calcium. With this recipe, we can make kali (ragi ball) that can be eaten with any gravy. We can also make koozh(porridge) by mixing the ball with buttermilk.

In China, porridge is super popular as a breakfast item, especially at local breakfast shops. People usually pair it with baozi or steamed buns. Now, making porridge in a slow cooker isn’t the traditional way, but it makes things way easier, and it still tastes great! The light and comforting nature of porridge makes it a go-to for so many. Enjoy!

Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene). They are also a very good source of vitamin C, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid and vitamin B6. Additionally, they are a good source of potassium, dietary fiber, niacin, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and phosphorus. This porridge is ideal for all age groups but especially yummy and nutritious for growing babies

Turmeric, the miracle spice, is so "in" these days because of its health benefits. Since turmeric is already commonly added to steamed rice, why not add it to a congee (or lugaw in Filipino, or Arroz Caldo, or porridge)!The twist in this Chicken Arroz Caldo or lugaw recipe, aside from the Turmeric addition, is that I've pushed the "healthy" factor by using brown and red rice instead of white or sticky rice. Sounds good, hey? :)This dish is perfect for cold nights and rainy days. 😊

A great idea to simplify life. Make one big pot and eat for the rest of the day. A pot packed with proteins, whole grains, vegetables and nuts.
