Every Slimming World member knows that it’s common place for foodie fads to run through groups like wildfire. In our class we’ve had the baked bean lasagne stage, the Fanta chicken gimmick and Diet Coke chicken phase. Now it’s the turn of magic porridge…
With magic porridge, you stir your oats into a syn free yogurt the evening before you want to eat it and leave it in the fridge over night. Then, the next morning, your ‘magic porridge’ is ready to either eat cold, or to heat up.
The reason it is called ‘magic porridge’ is because you don’t have to cook the oats to eat them.
My fellow Slimming World group members all seem to be fans of the magic stuff, but I’ll be honest, I’ve had mixed results.
I found it to be a bit doughy in taste when I mixed my oats with a vanilla and toffee Muller Light, but just about edible when I heated it up. However last night I prepared a bowl using syn free natural yogurt and four tablespoons of sweetener and I really enjoyed it cold. I topped it with sliced banana and blueberries and it made a tasty, filling breakfast!
Oh and if anybody is wondering about baked bean lasagne, Fanta chicken and Diet Coke chicken, then watch this space. I plan on trying these recipes and I will blog the results.
Has anybody else heard of any random Slimming World concoctions?
I tried the magic pancakes which is the magic porridge with a mullerlight (banana and custard) then in the morning add 2 eggs and a little sweetner (most people have said 2 tablespoons but I only add a small teaspoon) then use a cookie cooker in a frying pan to make them. I loved them, had them with cadburys philadelphia and sliced banana's.Will be doing a post soon.
ReplyDeleteI once tried the tofu chocolate mousse which was horrible as was cous cous cake. The weirdest thing I've heared is rice pudding cooked with cream soda, I can't even bring myself to try it! I use coconut milk for rice pudding.
I've heard good things about fanta chicken and diet coke chicken, not tried it yet, so looking forward to your posts on these.
OMG, magic pancakes sound AMAZING -- you have to treat us to a blog post on those in time for pancake day! And as for Cadburys Philadelphia, I just had to Google it as I had never heard of it before. Genius! Is it low syn?
DeleteTofu chocolate mousse and cous cous cake sound well grim!!! I will be avoiding those! :o)
