Weetabix is very popular for a lot of people but I have recently started having oatibix instead. It turns to slush almost immediately, which I quite like and it kind of tastes like weetabix too. Thumbs up.

I hated them at first, but I've persevered and quite like them now. They seem to need way more milk than weetabix otherwise they're rock hard, but like you I quite like the slush they turn to. Yum.

I was also suprised that 2 Oatibix (plural?) have around 190 kcals, while two Weetabix have around 120 kcals.

I dislike that they go soft so fast.

I hven't tried them, and I don't think I will now i've seen how many calories they have compared to Weetabix. This morning I tried rolled oats with natural yoghurt, grapes and chopped apple.

Bloody disgusting, don't bother....

The only place an oat belongs is in a biscuit or muffin!

I make porridge with a little skimmed milk and water, it turns out very creamy in the microwave. Then i add homemade apple sauce with cinnamon, thats pretty delicious, if i want it a bit sweeter i add a little splenda or sugar free vanilla syrup.

Strange comment. Most of the threads here are about food that's been around for a while, like meat, porridge, chocolate oranges, xmas puds etc etc.

try soaking the oats in the yoghurt overnight - much better results. Its called Bircher muesli. I think its delicious!

My dad loves it, I don't know how he manages to stomach it. I tasted it once and I thought it was a bit tasteless.
