Instant Porridge Pots comparison between different Brands: Quacker, Scotts, Kellogs, Oomf, Tesco and Asda

-
We discussed in the previous post about overnight oats that require to be prepared the night before, but what if you want something similar without any preparation?

Instant porridge could be an alternative to have a different and definitely quick breakfast, but since the porridge is readymade we need to pay attention to the ingredients to find the lowest in calories and sugar to choose.




Here some alternatives:


- Tesco Free Orginal or Syrup: 180 kcal per pot

- Asda  by you Apple & Blueberry /Red Fruits /Syrup: around 200 kcal per pot

- Quacker oat so simple Original: 190 kcal per pot
 -Oomf! skinny oats Berry /Original golden  syrup: around 190 kcal per pot

- Scott's so easy Original: around 180 kcal per pot

- Kellogs Multigrain: around 190 kcal per pot

- Peppa Pig Instant strawberry /banana /golden syrup flavour: is the lowest in calories because is also one of the smallest in portion, to keep this alternative only if you can deal with this portion or not used to have too much food for breakfast. 
Around 130 Kcal per pot

Making your own porridge is still the healthier and cheaper solution but occasionally is completely fine to have a quick and still low alternative.

Similar to the GI we can divide food based on GL that can be: LOW:  under 10 MEDIUM: 11-19 HIGH: over 20   In the previous post we discussed about the GI - Glicemic Index and you might have noticed that sometimes could be confusing and has some flows : - It doesn't consider a portion of that food , so is just giving a generic number to it and sometimes is not that accurate - An example is: watermelon which appears to have a high GI but is actually not becuase it reaches that level only with a very large portion  - GI is a good way to make quick food choices but GL is more accurate and is the next step for a better understanding on what kind of food choices to make - The preparation and other ingredients change the GI for example fibers or a longer cooking method will lower the GI level from the one you will see reported officially There are many tables you can find online basically for any kind of food and here some: http://dietdatabase.com/glycemic-index-an...
