Is Your Instant Porridge Worth Its Oats?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Oats are recognised as being a super grain based on their nutritional value. In South Africa, oat porridge has been a breakfast staple for over 100 years, especially on chilly Winter mornings, providing warmth and energy to kick-start the day. However, with the pace of modern life, convenience has become key and that’s where hassle-free instant oats come in. They offer the same wholesome goodness of traditional oats but in a fraction of the time. However, not all instant oats are created equal. Some have higher sugar and sodium levels, which makes consumers question whether traditional oats are not the healthier option.

That’s where FUTURELIFE® Smart Instant Oats Classic steps in, offering a nutritious solution for busy mornings. Keegan Eichstadt, Marketing Manager at FUTURELIFE®, explains that these oats challenge the notion that traditional cooked oats are automatically healthier. “Approved as part of the Heart and Stroke Foundation eating plan, Smart Instant Oats Classic provides the best of both worlds: the taste, texture and health benefits of traditional cooked oats while offering the convenience of quick and easy instant oats preparation,” he elaborates.
