1. Overall, what did your DC(s) think of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids Porridge? Did they make any comments about the texture, smell, taste or appearance?

DS refused to eat it! He normally has porridge with fruit in a morning so thought this would be a nice 'treat' but he had 2/3 mouthfuls and then wouldn't eat any more.

1. What would you say are the main benefits of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge, for you and/or for your DCs? What would be the key reason for you to buy the product?

DS is a pain to get any dairy down (wont touch milk, cheese, cream etc) so breakfast cereals are one of the few ways he'll eat it so dont mind buying anything milk-based really as long as he'll eat it.

1. What did you and your DC(s) like/dislike about the packaging (including the box and the individual sachets)? Why?

Found the portions an odd size, as DS only has half a sachet or so but the adults would have 1 and a half sachets so some is going to waste every time but thats probably just for my family right now, as DS gets bigger he'd eat a full one.
Found it a bit of a faff though instaed of just pouring it from the box (but can see how all the 'chocolate' would just sink to the bottom that way) and especially pouring the milk in the sachet (gave up with that pretty quickly!)

1. Do you have any ideas about how Quaker could make the Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your DC(s)?

I tried some too and think it tasted 'stale', definately not of chocolate at any rate so improvements on the flavour would have to be made before I'd buy it again - maybe plain porridge with an 'add your own chocolate' sachet then you could control how much chocolate you wanted the kids to have in a morning and it would stop the chocolate all sinking in a big single box?

Questions

1. Overall, what did your DC(s) think of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids Porridge? Did they make any comments about the texture, smell, taste or appearance?

Didn't like it. Didn't like the colour and said it didn't taste nice. I tried it and the taste was of very cheap chocolate.

1. What would you say are the main benefits of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge, for you and/or for your DCs? What would be the key reason for you to buy the product?

Quick and easy. Good source of calcium.

1. What did you and your DC(s) like/dislike about the packaging (including the box and the individual sachets)? Why?

I didn't like idea of putting the sachets in the microwave. I emptied the oats into a bowl, added milk and microwaved it. Mainly so I could give it a good stir halfway through.

1. Do you have any ideas about how Quaker could make the Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your DC(s)?

Improve the taste.

still not parridge here

I've held off posting, as I was disappointed by the DS's reaction to it and wanted a second try before posting our findings. However, they are a bit reluctant to have it again, so I thought I'd feedback on our first try and then maybe feedback again if anything changes on the second try.

1. Overall, what did your DC(s) think of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids Porridge? Did they make any comments about the texture, smell, taste or appearance?

DS1 (aged 5 years) - wasn't bothered about trying it, said it smells chocolate-y but it has a kind of yucky taste.

I tried it as well, and soon got used to the taste and enjoyed the rest of the bowl. I thought the colour was good, not too brown and the texture was as expected from Oat So Simple.

DS2 (aged 4 years) - was excited that it was chocolate porridge, and liked the packaging. However, once it was in front of him wouldn't even try it, despite my best efforts to encourage him too.

2. What would you say are the main benefits of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge, for you and/or for your DCs? What would be the key reason for you to buy the product?

We like the Oat So Simple porridge anyway, and the main reason to buy the product would be to have a flavour specifically for the children. It's a good filling breakfast and warming in the winter months.

3. What did you and your DC(s) like/dislike about the packaging (including the box and the individual sachets)? Why?

We all liked the appearance of the box, the bear and colour scheme was appealing. I would have like more details on the ingredients, ie. where the chocolate flavour came from (eg. cocoa?).
The sachets were familiar as we had previously used the plain and golden syrup flavours before, and that was reassuring.

4. Do you have any ideas about how Quaker could make the Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your DC(s)?

I think that maybe some chocolate chips in the mix, or in a separate sachet to be stirred in at the end to make it more chocolate-y and more interactive for the children. I always try and get them to stir their porridge to cool it down more quickly!

I love question four.

In answer to this - put an actual live dog in the box.

Really excited by the sound of this cereal, and it arrived quickly.
The oats in the cereal sounded good on a health basis, as did the lack of additives and unnatural flavouring. I thought the chocolate it contained would be attractive to my daughter.
Very difficult to marry tastiness and healthiness enabling both of us to be happy.
Love the packaging, really stands out, but not in a garish way.
When we opened the packet daughter thought it smelt like coconut, I though it smelt like cocoa powder. There was no smell of chocolate as such.
Very easy to make up, pleasant consistency, not too runny and no lumps - which was great.
Unfortunately, daughter hated the taste. Said it did not taste of chocolate at all and refused to eat the rest. She is 12 and generally not a fussy eater either. I tried some, and found it pleasant enough, although very much disliked the smell. There was no taste of chocolate for me either, not sure what the taste was, but definitely not chocolate as I know it.
Am sorry that daughter did not like this product, but she really, really didn?t.

Woops - sorry - should read start of thread first

1. Overall, what did your DC(s) think of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids Porridge? Did they make any comments about the texture, smell, taste or appearance? The texture was ok, the smell was a mixture of chemicals and coconuts! the taste was not of chocolate and the appearance once mixed was fine

1. What would you say are the main benefits of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge, for you and/or for your DCs? What would be the key reason for you to buy the product?

The benefits for me would be that it seems quite healthy when compared to some other cereals that are marketed for children. Like the fact that there is nothing artificial in it too

1. What did you and your DC(s) like/dislike about the packaging (including the box and the individual sachets)? Why?

Loved the packaging, very easy to spot on shelves, not too garish and artificial like most others. Looks ?natural and healthy?

1. Do you have any ideas about how Quaker could make the Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your DC(s)?

Yes, use real chocolate. Needs to taste and smell of it rather than some rather odd flavour

Overall, what did your DC(s) think of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids Porridge? Did they make any comments about the texture, smell, taste or appearance?
They really didn't like it at all. They said it was slimey and looked disgusting. They both tried a small amount. They didn't like the colour of the porridge which was a pale pink colour, and didn't look chocolately. I tried it too and felt it was very bland and not sweet enough.

What would you say are the main benefits of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge, for you and/or for your DCs? What would be the key reason for you to buy the product?
I liked the fact that the individual portions are already measured out and from using Oat so simple porridge before, it is less of a faff to measure out the milk using the packet. It is quick. Having said that, the most important thing is it needs to taste nice, and at the moment it doesn't.

1. What did you and your DC(s) like/dislike about the packaging (including the box and the individual sachets)? Why?

The packaging was a hit. Both children liked the bear on the box and thought the packaging was attractive and cute.

1. Do you have any ideas about how Quaker could make the Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your DC(s)?

I really think that Quaker need to make the porridge taste more chocolately. It tastes bland and isn't sweet enough. It needs to look more attractive. The pale pink colour should be a dark chocolate colour. I think Quaker is trying to please the parents by having a low sugar porridge but it really needs to taste nice too.

1. Overall, what did your DC(s) think of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids Porridge?Did they make any comments about the texture, smell, taste or appearance?
Despite being very excited about having chocolate for breakfast, DS (4) really didnt like it - almost a whole bowl was left (unheard of here) and he was reluctant to try it again. Texture was fine, but I guess the taste wasnt.

2. What would you say are the main benefits of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge, for you and/or for your DCs? What would be the key reason for you to buy the product?
We buy Oat so Simple anyway for DH, so a flavour just for the children so that they could have some like Daddys would be good.

3. What did you and your DC(s) like/dislike about the packaging (including the box and the individual sachets)? Why?
The box looked very appealing to children with the bear. Agree with another post that more info on the ingredients would have been helpful, ie. where the chocolate came from, as I wasnt sure whether it was suitable for dairy intolerant DD. I assumed that it was from cocoa powder but didnt like to risk it. We are used to mixing up porridge from a sachet so that part was fairly easy.

4. Do you have any ideas about how Quaker could make the Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your DC(s)?
Only to make it more chocolatey (although then I guess it wouldnt be such a healthy chocolate porridge cereal).

Thanks for letting us try it

I think that thieving Goldilocks has been here too as still no porridge :-(

1. Overall, what did your DC(s) think of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids Porridge? Did they make any comments about the texture, smell, taste or appearance?

DS2 thought it was too runny and didn't like the texture. They both thought it wasn't chocolately enough and 'smelt funny'. The next time I made it, I used less milk and the texture was better.

1. What would you say are the main benefits of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge, for you and/or for your DCs? What would be the key reason for you to buy the product?

I like the thought of them having an oaty breakfast mainly for the slow release energy and a good warming cereal start to the day.

1. What did you and your DC(s) like/dislike about the packaging (including the box and the individual sachets)? Why?

Both loved the bear on the box. I liked the convenience of the sachets but felt that they weren't really big enough.

1. Do you have any ideas about how Quaker could make the Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your DC(s)?

As other posters have mentioned. sachets of something to stir in would add an extra interest. More chocolate taste and better colour.

Thanks very much for letting us test it!

No packages for me either

1. Overall, what did your DC(s) think of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids Porridge? Did they make any comments about the texture, smell, taste or appearance?

I really, really wanted to be positive about this. I would love ds aged 3 to eat porridge in the morning, and really bigged it up. We said his teddy's brother had it sent it, especially for him, and he was really excited about trying it. He is a good eater, but can be iffy about trying new things, but he tried this. First mouthful he sauid 'Yum'. Second was a bit of a lukewarm reception. He refused anymore after the third mouthful. I haven't been able to get him to try it again.

He's 3 so no real constructive smell/taste comments. I thought it looked and tasted just ok, but wouldn't eat it for my breakfast. DH didn't like the texture - thought it was slimy - and wasn't very chocolately. He eats the maple syrup Oats so simple and loves that.

2. What would you say are the main benefits of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge, for you and/or for your DCs? What would be the key reason for you to buy the product?

Porridge is a fantastic breakfast and really sets them up for the day. It wouldn't need any more marketing than that for me, but all the information given on the leaflet inside the packet were all positives for me. I am also keen on him having milk in the mornings (he eats dry cereal at the moment...)

3. What did you and your DC(s) like/dislike about the packaging (including the box and the individual sachets)? Why?

He loved the bear and I thought the packaging was very appealing too. It would make me notice it on the shelf. I really liked the individual sachets although it was way too much for a 3 yo (even if he'd liked it). It also made it fun to make with him (he thought pouring the milk into to the sachet was a great wheeze)

4. Do you have any ideas about how Quaker could make the Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your DC(s)?

If it tasted more chocolately I'm sure it would have been a bigger hit.

Q1.overall what did your dc's think of oat so simple kids porridge?
A. Well dd1(7) didn't comment on the smell or appearance.I thought it would look more chocolatey,but she happily started eating it.She said it tasted very nice.DD2(4) has so far refused to try it,she looked at it suspiciously and shook her head,but this may be more to do with the fact she is very contrary and I'd asked her to taste it,than to do with the look of the food.
Q2.What would you say are the main benefits of oat so simple kids porridge and what would be the key reason you would buy the product?
A. Porridge is such a great breakfast.Particulary on a school day when they need to keep going and can't snack.Oat so simple is fast to prepare,and I also like a warm breakfast in all but the hottest weather.I like the idea of a chocolate porridge too,to add some variety and help tempt my dds to eat something first thing.
Q3.What did you /your dcs like about the packaging/and the individual sachets.why?
A.I liked the cheery box.My dcs didn't see it, as after reading somewhere about research showing possible contamination of cereals by inks from recycled card packing ,I decant cereals into glass jars.So they only saw the sachets. I liked the individual portions but would also buy a standard box,as i decant it. I thought the portions were the perfect size,not too huge.
Q4.Do you have any ideas about how to make Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your dcs?
A.Well I agree it could be more strongly chocolatey in flavour and appearance -(without getting sweeter though,I like that it isn't too sugary) -that might tempt DD2. My dds like things like games/puzzles/things to draw on packaging and they also like competitions, It was a hit though in our house,just as it is ,at least with one child and if I can get the second to try it she might like it too.

1. Overall, what did your DC(s) think of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids Porridge? Did they make any comments about the texture, smell, taste or appearance?

Both dcs gave it the thumbs down. Dd (7) didn't like the taste and ds(3) ate half a bowl but has refused to try any since. I don't like it either - it's just not very appealing, not enough chocolate and not very sweet. I eat blueberry Oat so Simple usually and that is much nicer.

1. What would you say are the main benefits of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge, for you and/or for your DCs? What would be the key reason for you to buy the product?

I probably wouldn't buy it again.

1. What did you and your DC(s) like/dislike about the packaging (including the box and the individual sachets)? Why?

We're indifferent to the packaging, I think. The bear is OK but neither dc seemed very taken with it.

1. Do you have any ideas about how Quaker could make the Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your DC(s)

It needs to taste more of chocolate. The packaging could be appealing to the eye.

Second day: Offered the choice of any cereal in the kitchen they wanted, DS2 & DD chose ordinary stuff and only DS1 chose the chocolate porridge.

He had two sachets at once, as one was not enough, but unfortunately two was too many.

1. Overall, what did your DC(s) think of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids Porridge? Did they make any comments about the texture, smell, taste or appearance?

Unfortunately I could not persuade DS2 (who is the main porridge eater in our house) to even try it. Once I'd made it up he just looked at it and said 'I don't like that kind of porridge!' I found the smell ok (though not chocolatey) The texture was fine, just as you'd expect porridge to be, though it didn't look that appetising. If I had been blindfolded to taste it, there is no way I'd have thought it was chocolate flavour though - I'd rather just add a spoonful of hot chocolate powder to ordinary porridge for a more authentic taste. I couldn't finish a bowl of it.

1. What would you say are the main benefits of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge, for you and/or for your DCs? What would be the key reason for you to buy the product?

To give them something warm and filling to see them through til lunchtime. I had really high hopes that the DC would like this, and that the chocolate would be enough to convince DS1, who is often reticent about trying new things, but as it turned out neither of them would try it once I'd made it.

1. What did you and your DC(s) like/dislike about the packaging (including the box and the individual sachets)? Why?

DS2 loved the packaging and seemed keen enough until I made it! The box design appeals to children, and the individual sachets are a handy way to make just the right amount.

1. Do you have any ideas about how Quaker could make the Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your DC(s)?

Make it actually taste of chocolate! It smelled and tasted synthetic, and was really disappointing. I may use the rest of the sachets in the box but will have to add my own ingredients to get DS2 to eat it.

Questions

1. Overall, what did your DC(s) think of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids Porridge? Did they make any comments about the texture, smell, taste or appearance?

I entered this product test because I have stroppy teenagers who do not eat breakfast and I wish they would.

DH - said it was good, not too sweet.

DD1 - ATE BREAKFAST THIS MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She has also eaten the porridge as a snackette in the evenings.
Her comments - Not too sweet, Not too chocolatey , so not too sickly for first thing in the morning.

DD2 - Said it smelled a bit funny, looked like puke and tasted nasty - but she has aspergers and says this about most foods so I wouldn't call her a real tester.

1. What would you say are the main benefits of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge, for you and/or for your DCs? What would be the key reason for you to buy the product?

SHE ATE BREAKFAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breakfast is important but no matter what I have bought them they turn up their noses and go off empty.

Main benefit - It appears to be a bit of a hit. and if DD1 decides she will eat it that is enough for me.

1. What did you and your DC(s) like/dislike about the packaging (including the box and the individual sachets)? Why?

I like the putting the milk into the little bag thing - it minimises the bowls, jugs and implements the DDs leave on the worktop for me to wash up.

Also very useful for me to take to work.

1. Do you have any ideas about how Quaker could make the Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your DC(s)?

Don't know - I think mine are older than what you were aiming for, so quizes, cartoons etc are a bit young for them, but just the fact the DD ATE BREAKFAST BEFORE SHE WENT TO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! makes it flipping marvelous!

Still nowt arrived here!

1. The porridge has been a hit with dd1 (10) dd3 (4) and dd4 (3) they were surprised at the texture having tried chocolate ready brek but didn't dislike it. They thought it would be browner but enjoyed the taste and have eaten the whole box of sachets between them.

1. The main benefit for me is that I like them to have a filling breakfast before school or preschool as it sets them up for the day, being a hot breakfast is a bonus in winter.

1. DD1 liked the sachets as it meant she could make her own breakfast without worrying about adding too much or too little milk, dd3 and dd4 liked the bear on the packaging and were likening it to the bear in goldilocks. I liked it being in sachets as I didn't have to faff about measuring enough for three breakfasts and I wasn't worried about the box falling out the cupboard and spraying oats everywhere as has happened before.

1. All the dd's suggested chocolate chips in the porridge, other than that I think it's interesting enough for a breakfast cereal.

We got ours yesterday, and we had it for breakfast today.
DS who is 5, DD who is 2 were our taste testers, and I had some too, to provide independent adjudication.
1.Overall, what did your DC(s) think of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids Porridge? Did they make any comments about the texture, smell, taste or appearance?
Both children commented on how nice it smelt as it was cooking. However it was all downhill from there! None of us liked the colour - thought it looked a bit like dirty dishwater!
DS had one spoonful and refused to eat any more as "It was too slimey" To be fair, he's not a big fan of sauces and soft textured stuff.
DD had about 3 spoonfuls but refused to eat any more. Initially she reported that it tasted nice, but gave up after a few spoonfuls.
As a result I had to eat it - and have to say I agree with them!. For me, the downsides were:
Texture was very unpleasant - I appreciate the fact that the oats have to be very finely milled to ensure they cook quickly, but it was very gloopy.
The taste was awful. It didn't have enough of a chocolate flavour, and had a very synthetic sweetness to it.

1. What would you say are the main benefits of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge, for you and/or for your DCs? What would be the key reason for you to buy the product?

The idea of porridge that is cooked in two minutes is great. It was easy to prepare and there was very little mess involved. I'd love to get the kids eating a more healthy breakfast cereal and this would have been an ideal way to start.

1. What did you and your DC(s) like/dislike about the packaging (including the box and the individual sachets)? Why?

Both DS and DD liked the bear on the box, and I really liked the fact that the sachet was used to measure the milk. Size of the sachet meant it was easy to slip in my bag to take to work.

1. Do you have any ideas about how Quaker could make the Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your DC(s)?

The packaging could be made a bit more interesting with a few more facts for small boys to read in the morning. I think the flavour and texture needs work as well. Thank you to Mumsnet and Quaker for allowing us to participate but I'm afraid it's a thumbs down from us!

1. Overall, what did your DC(s) think of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids Porridge? Did they make any comments about the texture, smell, taste or appearance?

My ds1 (9) had it once, he didn't make any comments about it but did ask if we could get the honey flavour. He only really eats crunchy nut cornflakes for breakfast and I was hoping to convert him to porridge as it's much better for him but sadly this didn't work.

Ds2 (7) loves it although he did complain it was too runny this morning despite using the correct amount of milk.

Ds3 (1) can't speak yet but eats it with gusto. I found the colour unappealing - not very chocolatey but I would prefer a funny colour than artificial colouring. I also thought it was v sweet but I think that's why my kids like it!

1. What would you say are the main benefits of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge, for you and/or for your DCs? What would be the key reason for you to buy the product?

The individual sachets with the milk measuring line is great, it means that my two older children could make it themselves. It also means that if I run out of time to have breakfast I can fling a packet in my bag and have it at work without too much fuss. Ease of use would be the key reason for buying the product as it is relatively quick and easy to make normal porridge in the microwave but judging the amounts can be tricky for kids.

1. What did you and your DC(s) like/dislike about the packaging (including the box and the individual sachets)? Why?

As mentioned above the individual sachets were a major selling point for me. The kids liked the box.

1. Do you have any ideas about how Quaker could make the Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your DC(s)?

Maybe a smaller sachet of choc chips or sprinkles/raisins to add at the end for different texture. Also puzzles/cut out cards on the box. Ds2 asked if we could get the strawberry flavour, but looking on the box there isn't one so maybe that is a flavour option

Thank-you for the opportunity to try - my dd's loved being testers & took their duties very seriously.

1. Overall, what did your DC(s) think of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids Porridge? Did they make any comments about the texture, smell, taste or appearance?

They quite liked it - not sure how much of this was the excitement of being asked to try something/give feedback. They weren't overly sure on colour & it definitely wasn't chocolaty enough. It did take a long time to cool down. I found it better to make in another bowl with slightly less milk, decant & stir in cool milk before serving helped. (this did have the disadvantage of making more washing up though) Otherwise was annoying to have to wait 10 mins for it to be ready - I could make porridge from scratch in that time.

1. What would you say are the main benefits of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge, for you and/or for your DCs? What would be the key reason for you to buy the product?

It is quicker to make than "real" porridge, I like the portion size. I would consider buying to take camping. I found it to be better than ready brek in taste & it would be quicker to make with a camping stove than porridge.

1. What did you and your DC(s) like/dislike about the packaging (including the box and the individual sachets)? Why? We liked the bear & measuring in the packet - nice & simple.

1. Do you have any ideas about how Quaker could make the Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your DC(s)?

Although it tasted ok I wouldn't really class it as chocolate. As other have said something to sprinkle on top would be good. I think it's pretty much impossible to make "healthy" chocolate cereal. Cereal is either chocolate or healthy & I think the compromises made here really show.

Ours still hasn't arrived

Thanks for the sample and letting us try it.

1. Overall, what did your DC(s) think of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids Porridge? Did they make any comments about the texture, smell, taste or appearance?

Thought there was too much milk in it which made it a bit too sloppy but the texture was about right. Not fallen in love with the taste I'm afraid! I was unahppy about the sugar content. If the flavourings are natural (good) why not tell us what they are?

1. What would you say are the main benefits of Quaker Oat So Simple Kids porridge, for you and/or for your DCs? What would be the key reason for you to buy the product?

It's a "convenience" food I suppose, although it exploded all over our microwave on the first attempt so not much convenience in mopping that out! So heating it in stages more gingerly to avoid this took time and made it less convenient. I guess once you've sussed how much milk you personally like in it and the temp/time ratios it would be a time saver.

1. What did you and your DC(s) like/dislike about the packaging (including the box and the individual sachets)? Why?

I know bears are brown and all that but it was a bit "beige" and not in a good way.

1. Do you have any ideas about how Quaker could make the Oat So Simple Kids Porridge more interesting for your DC(s)?--

Collecting different stickers in each pack?! Mini bear toys? Opening up the box to play a "board" game on the inside? Naming a different bear character on each sachet. Having additional sachets of flavouring to sprinkle over the top. Recipe suggestions to add ingredients to customise the product.
