Advantages: Quick, easy, reasonably healthy

Disadvantages: A little high in sugar

Not being able to face breakfast first thing in the morning, my options are limited when I get to work, no toaster, microwave or kitchen at all. So after a few days of getting a fast food breakfast, and getting pretty sick of it, I stumbled upon these Oat so Simple pots of porridge. They are 50g and cost approximately £1 (so if you can get them on a deal in Tesco, so much the better) and they are perfect (especially during the winter months).

You peel off the foil lid, fill up with hot water to the line, stir and then put the lid back on for two minutes whilst it 'cooks'. It's a very easy way to get a healthy breakfast in the morning.

It doesn't need milk as it contains powdered milk, and it is quite high in sugar (10.9g per pot which is 12% of your daily intake), so it wouldn't be as healthy as making 'proper' porridge at home with rolled oats, but it is low in salt and saturated salt.

Furthermore, it actually tastes nice, especially if you remember to stir it so it doesn't go lumpy (which I have forgotten to do on occassion).

Summary: All in all it is a reasonably healthy way to start the day, especially if your options are limited.
