I was very kindly sent a whole load of Moma products to try out. I was so surprised when it arrived in the post because there were so many different things to try, I don't even think I originally realised how big their range was.
So I was very kindly sent 5 sachets of the cranberry and raisins porridge, 5 sachets of plain porridge, 5 sachets of super seeds porridge, a pot of plain porridge with added sugar, a pot of golden syrup porridge, a pot of the coconut and chia porridge and a box of raspberry and coconut bircher muesli (400g).
I love breakfast and I love porridge in particular, I am always looking for healthy ways to feed myself and also my family but sometimes mornings can be a big rush and I end up not having any breakfast! These pots and sachets are perfect for this as they only take a few minutes to make and there is NO cooking!
Firstly I love the brightly coloured packaging it really makes the products stand out on the shelf, its also great quality packaging - you can just feel that it is! All the products I was sent were gluten free which is great for me as I know I can recommend to my family members who have coeliac and can't eat gluten. All the products I was sent were suitable for vegetarians and some were vegan too!
I tried out the plain porridge with sugar and the coconut and chia porridge both in the pots - I was expecting them to have a 'cardboard taste' because other porridges I have tired have been quite bland and you can definitely taste that they have come in a cardboard package, I was pleasantly surprised though because neither of them seemed to have that taste at all. My partner had the golden syrup pot and there were no complaints from him, he liked it!
Next I tried the sachets, I tried out the plain one and the super seed one - they were both great tasting on their own but I am very into sweet flavours so I just added a small sprinkle of brown sugar or a squiggle of honey on the top - this made them perfect for me! My son absolutely begged me, from the moment we received the package, to try them out and he had the super seed one - which again I added some honey over the top - he loved it and has had it twice since then! Porridge is definitely one of our favourite breakfasts, and the thing I love most about the Moma pots and sachets is that there is absolutely no cooking involved! Not even a microwave!! All you have to do is add boiling water to the pot or pour the oats in a mug and put boiling water in there, leave for 5 minutes and bang you have yourself a healthy nutritious breakfast! All the porridges are gluten free as I said before which I think is great - a lot of the time you have to pay over the top prices for things that are gluten free BUT the pots come in packs of 12 and cost £14.99 which works out at about £1.25 per pot, the sachets come in packs of 30 and cost £17.99 working out at around 60p each!!! That's nothing, about average for a porridge. The coconut and chia porridge is also vegan containing no dairy at all, which I think is great with the way the world is now changing and more and more people are becoming vegan! The only porridge I have not tried is the Cranberry and raisin sachets, this is because I am not the biggest fan of raisins and I don't think I would like it! I have, however, passed these on to people who will be able to enjoy them, and this is just a matter of taste not the quality of the ingredients! Lastly I tried out the DIY bircher muesli - I had never heard of bircher muesli until I received this in the post, if you were not aware is when oats are soaked (it was originally overnight but this can be done in 5mins with Moma) and then eaten with yogurt! The recipe on the back of the packet called for apple juice to be used, unfortunately I did not have any and decided to use a splash of milk, the oats used in Moma's bircher muesli are quick soak oats, meaning that it takes 5 minutes for the oats to soak up any liquid. I was not aware when I made this that the muesli contained raisins - however I did not find it offensive and actually enjoyed the taste.These come in 4's and cost £13.99 making them around £3.50 per box, again an average price for a good quality muesli! The muesli is also vegan! All the breakfasts kept me full until lunch time and I found when I ate them, I was not reaching for the biscuits in between meals - this is due to the slow release energy that they contain! Amazing!
All these options are so quick, so easy, and make the school run a lot nicer - before I was running out the door quite often having no breakfast! Now I can enjoy a healthy meal which will keep me full until lunch and it only takes minutes to prepare! Even my son enjoys them, meaning I can send him to school knowing he has had a healthy start to the day! This is great because he is not the biggest or best of eaters! Each of the porridges have around 250calories - some are a little less and some are a little more but they are not high in calories and make the perfect start to the day for someone who is trying to get fit and healthy! Well, they make the perfect start to the day for anyone really.
You can shop for all their products at their shop - http://shop.momafoods.co.uk/ I think that their story of how they began is amazing so please take a look at that! Its amazing how something small can grow into something so delicious :)
Here are some photos of us enjoying the porridge:
