Oats so simple sachets

[emmamarie92]

I've seen a lot of conflicting threads about these.

No, unfortunately they're no longer a HExB.

Are tesco's micro oats a heb? Xx

 

[Princess_Stevie]

I don't know what they are. Basically, the bags / boxes of plain porridge oats are a HExB and are your safest bet. I don't think any sachets of porridge can count as a B choice as I think they tend to contain powdered milk and sugar.

Easy to buy a 'normal' bag or box and some little freezer bags, spend 15 mins weighing and bagging up - a darn sight cheaper too

No there are still sachets on the the HEB list and like the original Oatso Simple they are just plain oats so no powdered milk or sugar

Got told in our group last night that its because oats so simple don't have enough fibre in them (they've changed recipe + its not just oats) + only 28g whereas hex b of oats is 35g

They havent changed the recipe - they are still 100% porridge oats just like they always were

Quaker Oats UK - Oat So Simple

There is not enough fibre in the 27g serving which is why you were always supposed to have a ryvita or scan bran along with it to boost the fibre. Most people did not bother with the ryvita and so were not getting the proper amount of fibre - thats why they were taken off the list
