You could thicken the porridge with the hot choccy, then? I've tried
that, and it was quite nice :-)

When I've taken porridge I've generally used sachets that purport to
come with milk included, though. You'll find lots in the s/markets. I
don't really like them, as I'm sure they tend to be filled with all
sorts of nasty chemicals, so I don't take them any more.

Have you considered flapjacks instead? :-)
