Top Tips
- Sprinkle a little chopped Crispy Peanut Bar for some added crunch – or indeed any of our other Bars – but remember to keep enough Bar back for your next meal.

I love normal porridge, so I selected 6 LL porridge packs to try. I’m on my 4th pack of it now. I’ve tried the microwave instruction (using various times and consistencies) and today tried it on the hob. But sadly for me, it is the worst LL meal I’ve tasted. Thank goodness I only have 2 packs left to force down.
LighterLife Team –
Oh what a shame you don’t like our Porridge Val! Thanks for your review.

Reminds me of Rusks. Not unpleasant. I prefer a thicker consistency. I think I will chop some Crispy Peanut Bar from my daily allowance and add to the Porridge 🙂
Susan Stevens –
Tasted only additives. Not for me. I’ll stick to shakes . Rather not have this.

Super – Creamy, filling and delicious.

Please don’t put wheat into porridge oats! – It is a pity that LL add wheat to these pots; it precludes me using these pots, which (if the wheat were excluded) I would, because of all the added vitamins and minerals.
Jennifer (verified owner) –
Lovely – I really enjoy this. It’s got a lovely, sweet, vanilla flavour, leaves me filling full and satisfied, and keeps me feeling full for longer than some of the other packs do.
Deborah (verified owner) –
Not for me! – I have tried the porridge twice this week and both times it has made me feel very sick. I adjusted the amount of water I added as it was very runny the first time. Maybe it is just me, other reviewers like it. I won’t be having it again though.

Comforting – Wasn’t keen on the porridge at first but now I love it. I found I was making it too runny so reduced the quantity of water and made it thicker and it’s brillaint. It’s really nice at the start of the day or at the end of the day as your last pack before bed. It’s not too sweet and it’s now something I love adding into my LL routine 🙂
