Chocolate chip banana coconut porridge is the perfect brunch start to your weekend. It takes just 5 minutes to combine oats, chocolate chips, banana and coconut milk into this mouthwatering deliciously creamy breakfast lunch!
I’ve invented a new meal and it's called “Lorridge”.
Lorridge is lunch porridge!
And this chocolate chip banana coconut porridge is the first lorridge! Ha ha!
Give your kids a healthy chocolate breakfast treat like this chocolate chip banana coconut porridge this weekend.
It's suitable for big kids too!
No, but seriously now folks I think this is a fantastic bowl of porridge to have for your lunch / brunch, especially after a gym routine.
This chocolate chip banana coconut porridge takes just 5 minutes to prepare and 5 minutes to cook.
The fast digesting carbs and protein will soon be rebuilding those muscles broken down during your workout session.
This is a really fantastic tasting, lower calorie indulgent chocolatey treat that I know you'll love and look forward to during your workout, as my other half and I do!
So, where did this recipe come from?
Well, I decided to make this a recipe after the success of the Mary’s Meals recipe made for world porridge day 2016.
This is close to the one we put together for that post.
That was a fun recipe to make, as this one is too!
Tips On How To Make This Chocolate Chip Banana Coconut Porridge
- I used coconut milk as it’s sweeter, but on trialling this recipe I also tried skimmed milk and it was fine, although not as sweet.
- Add honey / agave syrup to make it sweeter if you want, or if you use skimmed milk.
- To make this recipe vegan, ensure the cocoa powder and chocolate chips are pure dark alternatives containing no milk.
- The portions made in this recipe are quite large, designed for a post workout meal or treat brunch for 2.
- This recipe would easily serve 3 people if not served as a post workout meal or treat brunch!

Quite an addictive combo I find too Rachel! 😆

Haha - Neil, I so love having this bowl of deliciousness for "Lorridge" - or even for dorridge (dessert porridge?) - though Lorridge sounds way better than dorridge does!
I'm sory I've missed a bunch of your posts - but am super excited to hear about your soup ebook! Looking forward to it! Happy Friday my friend! Hoping you are enjoying this week off!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
This lorridge would be absolutely perfect for dorridge as well Shashi, I agree! Ha ha! 😀
No need to apologise for missing any of my posts, I know you're very busy working on making a success of your full time blogging career and I'm so excited for you about that!
Just back from some winter's hillwalking so hope to post a few of those pictures in a couple of weeks.
Susie @ SuzLyfe
I had lorridge yesterday! Mine wasn't so fancy, though 😀 I was totally craving oats, and I had a salad and protein, but for my carbs, I was just like, nnnneeeedddd oatmeal. #hitthespot
And YAY for a soup eBook! You know that I love some soup, and I never make it because I am useless. Now I can pretend that I am going to 😀
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
The more I talk to people about lorridge, the more people are telling me they do actually have it for lunch too, so I'm not feeling so alone anymore, and I'm glad you're a fan too!
Thanks for the comments about the eBook. I promise that you would be able to make any of these soups, they're so simple. 🙂

Congratulations to you again, Lady Lynne and I are so happy for you both!
