Mocha Hazelnut Porridge

 Add a hint of caffeine and nuttiness to your morning porridge

It's been a while since I made or bought myself a mocha. Whoever had the idea of mixing coffee with chocolate is absolute genius, these are two things I could not live without! So as always my morning porridge turns into a bit of a trial with flavour combos, let's be honest what can't you do with porridge? It's so versatile. Warm porridge oats, infused with coffee and a dollop of cocoa hazelnut spread - I mention that I use Meridian here but I've also had Nature's Store and I've seen Whole Earth have released a chocolate hazelnut spread so you've got options! Or if you're up for it you can make it from scratch, there's  a lot of good recipes out there and as long as you have a good blender it's very easy :) If you don't like coffee (a real shame) then you can still have a lovely chocolate hazelnut porridge which would be just as tasty!
