Hello

Im thinking of changing my breakfast's coz starting to get a bit bored of the same thing most days - fruit and yogurt.

So would like to know about porridge please. What brands are free/synned/hex's? I dont have my book at the moment so have no idea and would appreciate info from anyone who takes porridge and would know.

Thanks in advance

the oats so simple original sachets are the exact amount of your heB. Or basic porridge measured out (28g) the flavoured stuff is not a heB unfortunately

as long as its basic porridge oats, with nothing added, it can be a heB x

Those sachets are perfect. I just add a banana to bulk it up. I also add sweetener and cinnamon for a nice sweet taste

don't forget your 1 piece of scan bran OR 1 ryvita wholegrain crackerbread with that!

if you are familiar with Kelloggs All Bran, they are basically pieces made up with that kind of bran. A bit like a really hardcore version of ryvita... lol. Its not to everyones taste but I quite like them with a banana smooshed over it. And I've also heard of people breaking it up and mixing it with their porridge, softens it up x

Yeah they're too handy and sometimes you get the boxes of them on offer as well. And you can get the scan bran from holland and barrett x

I buy normal porridge oats and use 28g each day. If you get a pack of the square, nesting lunches from paperchase the smallest one holds pretty much the right amount so you can get away without measuring. Lakeland did a pack of 10 mini plastic boxes and one of those holds dead on 28g.

I make my porridge with water then add frozen blueberries and vanilla yogurt. Lovely stuff!
