I have them half water half milk .. 40g oats so it's 150 skimmed milk abd 150 water
I cook them on the stove and it takes about 4 mins ... In a micro (at work) takes about 2 mins
On the box it says 100% wholegrain rolled oats ....
Have been doing a bit of research and maybe I should add almonds and fruit to it ...??

I always add nuts, seeds or ground flaxseed and also some fruit and it keeps me going til lunch. 
The bigger and less processed the grain (and the longer the suggested cooking time), the longer it will take to digest, I like the jumbo porridge oats the best. I'm not sure but I think the Quaker is more of a small/medium flake?

according to their website Quaker do a jumbo oat, I usually buy supermarket brand. Just look out for the longest cooking time. Nuts or seeds will add fat and protein, both of which will help slow digestion.

I am having the food doctor seeded porridge, has sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and a few others, no sugar added or any types of sugar in it, Also no fruit like rasins etc
I cook it with water and a dash milk, until fairly thick and then add bit more milk on top with a banana or some berries
The quaker porridge instant that my kids like has got a fair bit of sugar in it.. Could be that your hungry so soon after because your blood sugar is dropping/ crashing after having the sugary porridge
Maybe have a few almonds like 10-15 to snack on when you start to feel hungry again should then carry you to lunch

Hi mis-behave
The box's listed ingredients is just the rolled oats .. Nothing else added ....
I do like almonds and I have 20 grams when I work on a late shift .. We don't have breaks and I work 2-10 so it's important for me to have a a wee snack of almonds abd fruit mid shift ..!!!
Think I will start having them daily ..!!!
Thanks for the advice ... Better go sleep as up at 5.45 lol ..!!!!

I use the tinned slices peached in juice (I rinse the juice off and put them in my bowl and pour my cooked porridge oats (approx 40g uncooked weight) over the top and sprinkle a few flaked almonds on the top. Delicious. It never fails to cheer me up in the morning - even on a Monday!

Amazing to see the difference it makes when things get processed, or even milled. Glad I bought the jumbo oats now - got them from Asda.

Oh no!! I only do them for 4 mins in microwave and they're fine. Could you cook them first and take them in a tupperware pot just to warm through? I'm never 'right' til I've have my porridge! x
