Poor packing, not very good.
1Let's start with the packing. Porridge in a sealed self contained lid isn't revolutionary or new. So it's a fairly easy idea to copy. But what's going wrong here? Start with the lid as it's the first thing you'll touch. It's bonded too firmly onto the paper pot making it a struggle to get it to separate. The result is if you don't tear the lid tab, you'll tear the pot instead. Then there's the pot - it's plastic lined paper making it not recyclable and only fit to go in landfill. Would be handy if the pot had a line printed inside for a "fill to" line, you find that on every other porridge pot. As for the porridge. Well there's a lot of powder in there. But none of it mixes well with the hot water, so you get a lumpy substance. Tried a few times with the same results. But it's the flavour that's really a let down. It's got a chemical based sweetness that leaves an awful aftertaste. Certainly the presence of cinnamon is not very strong. All in all its difficult to get into, lumpy nasty tasting porridge with a surprisingly low amount of oats and being blunt there's supermarket alternatives that are far more cheap to buy. If you like it fine, but it's not for me.

Much better microwaved
4I tried a porridge pot the other day and was disappointed at the texture, I think I could remember purchasing sachets of porridge from exante a while back, unless that was a previous brand of meal replacements I used. The sachet ones i’d had were microwavable so thought i’d give this a try. Shook the powder in the pot, put it in a jug and added 150 ml boiling water, mixed really well, microwaved for one min then stirred then 15 seconds and left for bout 3 mins to cool.

Not what I expected
1I really wanted to love this porridge but it wasn't to be. It tasted really artificial and had a very strange gloopy/gluey texture. It went straight down the drain. I definitely don't recommend.

Not for me...
1Gluey consistency, very sweet and taste off-putting. I'm afraid it went straight in the bin. I'm going to stick to the bars and shakes!

The perfect start to our day
5I eat three enhanced exante meals a day to make up my 800 calories. I add a little something to my breakfast, and again, later on to my evening meal. So I have 300 calories at breakfast time, 200 more for lunch, and then 300 again in the evening. When it comes to my breakfast, I love the exante cinnamon porridge. My wife does too, so our regular order each month features many, many pots! I like to slice up a banana and mix in the slices to the porridge as it cools and thickens. The result is a rich and creamy porridge with 100 calories of fruit added. That keeps me going until lunchtime without even thinking about food. My wife takes her exante porridge pot to work, to eat mid-morning. She is a healthcare worker and needs to be able to take advantage of the ease of preparation of a hot breakfast without the need to cook. Of course, there are other porridges available from other manufacturers, but the convenience of having it as a pot meal makes it perfect for her. There isn't even any washing up to do afterwards!

Tasty start to the day
5Easy to make, nice to eat, and filling. Use a fork to stir to help with the lumps and you'll have a nice breakfast.

Lovely 😋
5I love this porridge pot ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I had it for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised by the quantity and flavour. I added water to the top of the container and let it sit for 5 minutes. It stayed hot and thickened up. It tasted like regular porridge and was filling. One of the best products from Exante ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
