Weetabix Ready Brek Original

ReadyBrek is one of those uniquie brands on the market, different to anything else. You've got your quaker oats, and your mornflake and your Scottish oats, and then there's this, which is porridge in a league of its own. ReadyBrek is manufacutered by Weetabix, makers of, well, 'Weetabix' (obviously), Alpen, Weeto's, and oatabix. Weetabix is a well respected manufactuer in the cereal market and reknown for it's health and nuritional products.

So Winter has arrived with a vengeance and the I've dug out the Winter woollies and mittens. I've also dug out something else too - A packet of Ready brek which has been tucked away at the back of my cupboard since last year. To be honest when I found this packet of Ready brek I actually did a bit of a double take since the front of the packet features Pudsey the Bear and lots of information relating to Children In Need which since this is this week is quite bizarre as I didn't remember buying it recently and then I realised that I must have bought it exactly 12 months ago, quite spooky ... more

Years ago when I used to dash about getting the kids up and ready to go to school before rushing to work, I never had time for breakfast. Breakfast for me was usually at 10.30 at work and consisted of a sandwich and a Kit Kat or something similar. Just didn't have the time to sit down and eat early in the morning.

I need something substantial which can fill me up right through to ... more

Should I drink another cup of Tea? Nah, that’s boring me sh**less, as I have already drank about 4 cups and I’m still freezing, I know, I’ll go and have a bowl of Ready Brek, yum-yum, so off I go to make a bowl of Ready Brek, I’ll be back in about 5 minutes. 1 minute passes by 2 minutes pass by 3 minutes pass by 4 minutes pass by 5 minutes pass by I’m back ... more

Weetabix Ready Brek is the perfect winter cereal to get you going in the morning. You probably remember the adverts where the school kids ate their RB and then walked to school in the snow with a big red ring of insulation around them while the other cornflake-eating nancies froze and shivered. Central Heating for Kids! Well, I’m no kid, and I’m no breakfast eater either, but I still like my Ready Brek when I’m in the mood. What is it? It’s an oat and wheat flour based cereal that you mix with hot milk. Depending on how much milk you use, the result is a thick ... more
