Please help me, i HATE porridge. It seems to be the best way for anyone to start their day and i just cannot eat it! I've tried every way i could think of, with fruit, with sweetner.... i've tried it thick and runny... I just cannot stand the consistancy. Does anyone have any ideas to help me eat this magical fuel!? :sad:

Try Oat Bran Cereal instead of the rolled oats. It doesn't have that slimy consistency. It's fine grained, takes about two minutes on the stovetop.0

It's not magical and no one says you have to eat it. There are so many different things to eat for breakfast. Why do you feel you HAVE to eat porridge?0

yeah, just have something similar that you enjoy. I never eat anything I dislike.0

I ADORE porridge, can happily eat it thick and made with water! But when I was getting used to it, honey worked for me.0

Why do you feel you have to like oatmeal porridge? I like it but if you don't, don't eat it. There's no rule that says you have to.0

You don't have to cook it. Have you tried the oats with milk on? With nuts/seeds/fruit added it's basically healthy museli.
If you find it too dry you can soak it overnight. It will be softer but still without the glutenous texture porridge can sometimes have.0 -
I just feel like i have to eat it because every fitness interview or article i read online always goes on about the benefit of porridge! I'm stuck in a breakfast rut at the moment. Greek yogurt with a sprinkle of granola. I need something else quick.....0

If you want to eat Oatmeal try this.... Mix 1/4 cup oatmeal, 1/4 cup frozen fruit (mango, strawberry, ect) 1 egg, and a sprinkle of cinnamon in a coffee cup and microwave for 2 minutes. YUM!!0

I don't eat things I hate. It makes me happy.0

Are you talking Porridge or Oatmeal?
There is a big difference between the two, they're not interchangeable terms.0 -
If you don't like something, don't eat it.
Unless somebody is forcing you to eat it. :noway:0 -

You're not alone, I can't stand it either! I've had it made for me by lots of kind people who were sure that I'd just LOVE it the way they (or their mum) made it - and I didn't. It's the consistency that turns me off as well (I hate cooked mushrooms & shellfish/ squid-y things for the same reason)
There's nothing magic about porridge - if you don't like it you don't have to eat it. I have bran flakes with a bit of milk and a piece of fruit for breakfast. You have what you want to have! :drinker:

^ This.
breakfast foods are full of nutrients much better than oats.
Eggs & green shakes come to mind to start the day.0 -
I don't enjoy the plain stuff so I mash up a banana with it (when I do eat it) or some berries. I also have dried fruit I make, and add a bit in there. Just watch out, dried fruit is small, so you want to eat more, but it's packed with calories too if you're not careful.0

Have you tried baked oatmeal?
http://www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/2011/11/tips-and-facts-for-making-baked-oatmeal.html
the consistency is quite different. Personally I really like oatmeal but NOT overnight oats though I know a lot of people love them.
My go-to breakfast is 50g oats + 250ml water served with a tablespoon of apple sauce and 100ml skimmed milk. It's pretty much all I eat.0 -
I love porridge.. But they say the best thing to start your day with is protein (it turns your body into a fat burning machine all day) thinkin of having scrambled egg in the morning lol0

Bake it with less liquid.
I make oat boats. Use ur favorite fruit purée!
Then bake it(u can add sugar if u wish)
And bake till firm!(in a ramekin or something at like 350f)0 -

What is the difference?
I just thought one was a US terminology one was more commonly used in the UK but completely interchangeable.0 -
