Healthy Extra "B" Question

[LadyHelen]

I wonder if anyone can help me with this. In the winter I quite like to have porridge in the mornings as it's warm and filling and keeps me going through until lunchtime.

The book says that 28g of porridge oats and 1 scan/oat bran makes up a Healthy Extra "B". I have a problem with this in that I can't stand scan/oat bran, they're horrible.

Can I increase the amount of oats to compensate for the lack of scan/oat bran, and if so, by how much?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Helen

I'm no expert but I don't think you can 'tweak' the HeBs like that.

I don't like scanbran either so I have a sachet of Oat So Simple Original and a Ryvita.

I hadn't thought of Ryvita instead... thanks for that, I'll give that a go.

If you haven't already, definitely register at the Slimming World website. There are more options on there than in the book.

I'm not a fan of scan bran just as a cracker/biscuit type thing but I do believe its definately helped me with weight losses.
i love it cooked into porridge, also love it as a kinda porridge on its own - 2 or 3 nuked with a little water and milk then a banana chopped on top (my workmates call it my gruel when I have it at work LOL)
I've even cooked it into scrambled egg just for the sake of filling up

I registered there back when I rejoined last year, it really is incredibly useful isn't it? Being able to look Syn values up, and work them out if they're not listed is absolutely invaluable.

Thanks for the recommendations, sounds interesting. I have to say though, it's the actual taste of the stuff I can't stand! Thank you anyway!
