Ready Brek - Old Fashioned Comfort Food!

Advantages: Good vitamin content, nice and creamy, warm and comforting
Disadvantages: A nightmare to clean the pans afterwards.

Ready Brek Well there is a bit of a nip in the air and for me that means the Ready Brek comes out to warm me up and keep me going until lunchtime. What's it like? Ready Brek is essentially porridge, but porridge that is finer than coarser porridge oats you can buy on their own. These days it comes in all kinds of varieties from the sachet option (more expensive) so that you don't have to measure the amount you need to a chocolate flavoured ...
...handy little symbols that tell you: # It is microwavable in 90 seconds. # It has no added sugar or salt. # It is fortified with vitamins and minerals. # It uses 100% wholegrain oats. # It is rich in calcium. You need to use 5 heaped dessert spoonfuls (30g) and 150ml of water or milk. You simply add the hot water or milk and mix together. You could then add some fruit or a sprinke of sugar, which is what I do. The blurb tells you that if you have ...

...cereals out there. Each Kellogg's Rice Krispie is made from a single grain of rice. This means that they are good for you but also have carbohydrates in them which can turn into fat if you do not burn it off. When you are growing up you need lots of energy so I suppose these can be great for children... The ingredients include: Rice, Sugar, Salt, Glucose-Fructose Syrup, Barley Malt Flavouring, Niacin, Iron, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin (B2), Thiamin (B1), ...
...= 1618 kcal = 381 Protein (g) = 6 Carbohydrates (g) = 87 You can buy these from all supermarkets and they are usually priced at no more than £2.00. Good Points The good points are that they fill you up, you can make rice krispie cakes with them, they are not too expensive, they are quite good for you and they taste really nice. I love it when children put their ears near the bowl and listen for snap, crackle and pop. Bad Points There are a lot of ...

Advantages: Healthy, filling and wholegrain.
Disadvantages: A little boring.

Weetabix are the only cereal that my children will eat, this isn't a bad thing but I sometimes wonder if they get bored of these as they not only have them for breakfast but also for supper. I have brought many different cereals including the mini weetabix but they tend to prefer the normal weetabix. **The Packaging** Weetabix come in a bright golden coloured cardboard box wih eyecatching blue writing across the middle with the word weetabix. At ...
...and the nutritional values. 2 weetabix without milk contains 127kcal and provides you with 32% of the RDA of vitamins and iron. You will also find all the contact details here. On the back of the box there is a little history about weetabix and a serving suggestion. Once the box is open you will find a tower of 12 biscuits in a sealed plastic wrapper. **Price** You can buy weetabix in packs of 12, 24, 36 and 48. On average a 24 pack would set you ...
