If it is any consolation there are quite a few of us that had to give up on porridge. I love my creamy Greek style natural yoghurt, berries and mixed seeds now though so don't miss the porridge anymore. Creating a new breakfast habit really helped me stop missing the old one.Very nice, but sad to say a massive spike and then massive crash,hence wii be joining the can't eat porridge club.

OK thanks will tryI don't eat porridge in the summer. I prefer yoghurt with berries. I used to have it with a small scoop of nutty muesli but changed to adding mixed nuts now.
I miss porridge in the winter as I like hot food when the weather is cold. Poached eggs on a wholemeal seeded toast is my winter favourite now.

Bad luck, it does look good. I have 16g(a sachet) , and only hot water. So far it has been ok, I tested today two hours after eating and it was 4.9. Sometimes it can be in the mid 5s. Have you reduced the amount and tried it without the maple syrup?Very nice, but sad to say a massive spike and then massive crash,hence wii be joining the can't eat porridge club.

I've never been a fan of porridge, although my wife is and we always have oats in the larder. I'll help myself to 20g if I decide to do overnight oats. I generally stick to berries, crushed walnuts and Greek yogurt, ie:-Love porridge, tried many combos,but always spikes an then crashes, but we all different.
Whoa, @marlyn7 ...... If you had a big spike then a crash, the net outcome is not necesaarily as bad as you make this sound. To my reading your body managed your porridge very well.Very nice, but sad to say a massive spike and then massive crash,hence wii be joining the can't eat porridge club.
