Why Porridge is So Good For your Kids

Porridge (also called oatmeal) is a super healthy breakfast – it tastes delicious, is versatile and easy to make. During the colder months, there’s nothing like a hot bowl of porridge to get your kids going in the morning.

Eating porridge fills your kids up for longer than other breakfast cereals. This makes snacking between meals less likely, helping children and adults alike to maintain a healthy weight.

Porridge oats have many other health benefits – including helping to prevent heart disease and certain cancers. They are a high fibre food which means they help prevent constipation. Porridge gets an even greater health boost when you add some fruit and seeds.
