Porridge as a heb ideas

[Mizkirsty]

Hi guys

I really fancy some porridge however I've never bought any before can anyone share they favs?! Flavours or fruit which is yummy on top?!

And do you make it up with water or milk?! Xx

I haven't had porridge as such for several months (tend to eat it more in the winter) but I just buy plain ole Sainsbury porridge oats, mix with water (think it's three measures of water to one of oats) and a pinch of salt, then cook over a low heat stirring occasionally. I do like to add about half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder at the beginning. It's nice with a few raisins added as well, but you'd have to syn those. Sometimes I slice a banana on top, and/or add a spoonful of yogurt. It's up to you to find what you like in addition - just remember to count any syns! And don't forget the scanbran!!

I cheat and use oatso simple the original plain one and add ie berries, or 1 tsp golden syrup (1 syn) to it, its already in 28g servings, so ultra simple and just 2 1/5 mins in the microwave

Is it just the plain one that is a hex?! Xx

I have the plain oatso simple as a hexB. I make it with skimmed milk. In the summer it is nice with any fruit on top. In winter, stir frozen berries through it. Or chopped apple with a pinch of cinnamon. Love it.

Most days I grate an apple (and some cinnamon) in with my oat so simple (made with a little bit of milk about 50ml and the rest water), I also grate in pear (with ginger or all spice or stir in raspberries.

The portion you get in the oats so simple packet is really generous I think!! Normally split it in 2!!!

I use porridge oats & always make it with water; I usually add berries, or apple with cinnamon, last night I had porridge with berries & banana.

I think I said in an earlier post on this thread that I usually only have it in winter, but for the last three days I decided on my cinnamon porridge with added berries (and a bit of yogurt) for breakfast - must be under the influence! [Of this thread ]
