Lovely porridge
I love this porridge both my husband and I have it everyday. You do need to make sure you have a big enough bowl otherwise it will boil over like some reviewers have mentioned. I like mine with Sultanas and my husband adds frozen mixed fruit to his.
Tasteless
Bland, tasteless, doesn't taste of apple or blueberry and the photo on the packet says it all, only the 1 i got had 2 blueberries in it not 4, may as well just get a plain one and add your own fruit at least then you get more fruit in it and it would be tastier.
Fine, great value, not too sweet.
Fine. Good value. Not as much sugar as the Quaker ones which I find too sweet. Different texture, may not suit you but I'm not bovvered.
Microwave nightmare!
Followed instructions for 900W exactly and it boiled over, making a complete mess in the microwave.
Poor quality
Very cheap quality nowhere near as good as Quaker
Excellent value
At only 10p per satchet, it’s amazing value for money. There’s not much fruit in it but at this price what more can you ask for? Adjust expectations accordingly. I also love that it’s all 100% recyclable. After having it for a while I know how much milk is needed intuitively so no measurement line needed
PACKETS COMING APART INSIDE BOX
This is a perfectly good (read cheaper) alternative to the Quaker Oats So Simple - but my disappointment came when I opened the box to find several of the white internal packets had not been sufficiently well sealed during production and were open at one end. Oats everywhere (imagine an oat snow storm in your kitchen) for me to clean up and only a couple of good packets left to use. How I laughed!

I tried this variety a couple of months ago and thought it delicious but store was out of it when I went for more. I was delighted then when it came back into stock. I used the first sachet today. Imagine my disappointment when I ate it and found it to be bland and lacking blueberries. Nothing at all like my first experience. I now have another 19 sachets to get thru. Colour me bluer than your blueberries!
these are fab. add a little more milk than suggest
these are fab. add a little more milk than suggested. a hit with my family and not too sweet.
Good purchase but needs 1 more thing
So I tried this out because for flavour which wasn't available in Quaker Oats which I really enjoy their products. I'm never disappointed with them. I enjoyed the Tesco brand taste. The texture/quality of the oats is a step down from Quakers but it's bearable. The cooking time was quick and accurate. However, unless you want a milk pool with bits or wallpaper paste, you do need to get your milk just right. I just have 2 small complaints. The bland packets make you feel like you're making wartime rations that give a feeling of buyers regret and like this product may not taste nice or be good for me and then you get hit with the lesser quality oats and cooking experience...and it's not the best time. BUT one main thing Tesco needs to add is a measurement line for the milk! If they did that Im sure more people would switch permanently I know I would. Most people I'm sure who buy this are time poor and/or also stringent about their portion controls because they're on a diet or have children. With that being said, between the poorer quality of the oats and then being inconvenienced with having to measure out the milk after I bought these oat packets for convenience and speed of not having to measure out oats and milk and end up making too much...I'll be going back to Quakers! First world problems I know, but still! When you're busy or looking after a healthy family it matters.
