I like to give my children a varied selection of breakfasts. It is the meal of the day that ALWAYS goes down a storm. It has to be a healthy cereal, I'm not totally anti sugar, but I am not the a Coco-pops or Frosties advocate. My youngest adores Oat So Simple, and tha Apple and Blueberry flavour is his absolute favourite, even over something sweet like the Golden Syrup variety, sence my choice to review. What is it? Basically its porridge, but in very convenient, ready measured out servings that are ready to empty into a suitable bowl, add milk, and ping into the microwave for 2 minutes. Each sachet contains 36g of instant porridge ...  Read the complete review

Despite constantly saying that I'm on a diet, I always eat far too much and my weight hasn't decreased significantly in quite some time. I was therefore fairly enthusiastic when two of my flatmates said that they were starting a four day anti-bloat diet followed by a proper diet as set out in the book The Flat Belly Diet, and suggested that I gave it a go too. The diet involved cutting out foods that cause gassiness and bloating, such as fizzy drinks and raw vegetables, and sticking to a four day food plan to the letter. After a couple of days of no alcohol and eating fairly, boring tasteless food we had all given up and went to Ben & Jerry's, but there was one food .  Read the complete review

Living in Scotland porridge is almost obligatory and its one breakfast food I am more than happy to sample. Oatso simple is made by Quaker, a reputable brand who with their sachet of porridge concept have come up with a very easy way for me to eat breakfast in work. I simply stash a few sachets in my drawer and instead of having a breakfast of biscuits eat one of these instead! **How to make** The box comes in easy to use 36g sachets, this may not sound a lot but when added to milk it makes a substantial bowl of porridge and in my opinion is the perfect portion size. You simply empty the rolled oats into a bowl, you can see some blueberries, they ...  Read the complete review

With the cold weather coming I decided it was time to invest in some porridge. I bought a box of oats so simple which I used to eat regularly years ago.

I love porridge but rarely have it because I cannot be bothered to make it and it always seems a bit bland. I don't think it tastes bland and thoroughly enjoy it whenever I make the effort but looking at porridge oats in a bag doesn't make my taste bus tingle! I started on Oatso Simple last year because it appealed to my deep-reaching laziness. You add the oats to a bowl, use the sachet to measure out the required amount of milk, add this to the oats and then zap in the microwave - what could be easier? Ok so it isn't much different from making up porridge yourself but it is perfect each time. My porridge never was! The apple and blueberry ...  Read the complete review
