Blueberry and Shannon fruit porridge

This is the result of the Shannon fruit left over from the other day, turns out I used slightly more then half, so I chucked in some lovely blueberries from the freezer. Add some coconut and the result was this lovely sweet porridge, with bursts of hot berries every few mouthfuls! If you don't like coconut try sprinkling with ground almonds or seeds.

• 1/4-1/2 shannon fruit (peeled and chopped)
• 15(ish)g coconut

2. Top with fruit.
3. Microwave for 2-3 mins
4. Top with coconut
5. Mix in the fruit and coconut or enjoy in layers!

Shannon fruit porridge

Shannon Fruit porridge

Remember a few days ago I said my Dad bought me a strange orange fruit like a tomato? Well he told me it was a summer fruit-only 50p in ASDA. But after much googling it turns out it was a Sharon fruit! Some people said it tastes like a sweeter tomato others like plum, so I thought I’d give it a go in porridge.

I added pumpkin seeds for protein and also because they look rather nice against the yellow don't you think? Dates give sweetness and make it all a bit more tropical!

To prep the fruit you have to peel it (I used a potato peeler) then just chop it up. The flesh is a nice orangy yellow-and I think it actually tastes rather like melon. Anyhow it is still in season right now and worth a try if you can find it.

Recipe--for 1

• 1/2 cup oats (or 1 serving)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 shannon fruit (peeled and chopped)
• 20g *ish pumpkin seeds
• A few dates, chopped

Method

1.   Pour the milk over the oats
2. Mix in the fruit and pumpkin seeds
3.  Cook in microwave for 2-3 mins
4. Top with dates and enjoy!
