Ingredients:

• ¼ cup water
• 4 scoops of Glucerna
• ½ cup rolled oats
• 1 cup of water
• 1 medium banana, sliced
• 4 dates, thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons honey (see tip, below)
• ¼ cup chopped walnuts

Method:

1. In a small bowl, combine Glucerna with ¼ cup water. Stir well until mixed. Set aside.
2. Combine oats, water, banana and dates in a saucepan and bring to the boil.
3. Reduce heat and simmer gently for around 5 minutes until porridge thickens.
4. Stir in Glucerna and heat through (do not boil).
5. Spoon into bowls, drizzle with honey and top with walnuts.

Tips:

• Pure floral honey varieties such as Iron bark, red gum, stringy bark, yapunya and yellow box have a low glycemic index (GI); more common blended honeys have a medium GI.
• Try an oat and barley mix porridge to lower the GI and increase fibre.
• Add a pinch of nutmeg for added flavour.
