From Ready brek breakfast muffins, to 'ginger-brek men', there's hundreds of ways you can make your cereal go further."

So, how do you customise your porridge or Ready brek? Maybe you add some bananas? Or do you prefer to add blueberries or raspberries? Perhaps honey is your usual addition? Whatever you add to your porridge, Ready brek would love to hear about how you keep breakfast time fun and healthy.

Flaked almonds and raisins.

Nothing original here. Sometimes the old way really is best. It's sugar or honey in this house, sometimes with banana.
My dsis likes it with salt and a knob of butter stirred in.

Honey, cinnamon and dried fruit

Most days we have ready Brek with banana but as a very special treat I may add a swirl of Nutella too! Which is incredibly yummy!

Almonds and maple syrup. Absolutely yummy!

I add slices of stem ginger.

With apologies to my Scottish gran (who would have said water and salt only) - I like maple syrup on my porridge,

I add almonds and blueberries if i'm feeling healthy

Ds 15 loves to add blueberries and rice syrup ( a healthy alternative to sugary syrup) to his ready break every morning! Have to admit its yummy :-)

I sometimes add sweetened Rose syrup or honey.

Cinnamon. Removes the need for sugar.

Sometimes I make porridge from muesli.

Bananas, sometimes we'll add Cheerios sometime berries.

Put the oats, a banana, some milk, small amount of sugar and cocoa powder a blender = yummy pancake mixture. You can add an egg if you wish too to bind it :)

Ready Brek was the only thing I could keep down during pregnancy. I made it up with milk and sugar and it was delicious hot or cold. It even tasted delicious when I barfed it back up again :) Nothing like it.

Oh we love porridge with runny honey banana and sesame seeds or blueberries and nutella or even stewed apples cinnamon and raisins yummy

Cinnamon, raisins and chunky home cooked apple sauce, SO good! :)

Just maple syrup. Plain and simple!

I have to admit I put a bit of sugar on mine, with whatever fruit we have in the house. :)

Blueberries when I am feeling virtuous, sugar when I'm feeling not so much so

My luxury heaven porridge is served with demerara sugar and a good slosh of double cream. Not particularly healthy, but oh so good.

Golden syrup and cream - mmm

water, banana, blueberries or grated apple and seeds - yum

Why is Ready Brek so expensive?
