I decided to buy these as I do like porridge and have it maybe 3 or 4 times a week but usually buy a branded product from a well known manufacturer and wondered if these could match or beat the quality and taste of my usual brand.
I followed the instructions on the packet, which were very simple and two and a half minutes later I had a lovely hot steaming bowl of porridge ready to be devoured.
When I took the porridge out of the microwave I was met with the delicious aroma of Golden Syrup.
The taste and texture was excellent with just the right amount of sweetness to it and I didn’t add any more sugar like I usually do, the portion was a decent size and certainly filled me up and satisfied my hunger.
I feel that these are just as good, if not better than the usual brand I buy and I will be buying these now instead of the more expensive brand I usually buy.
Healthy Eating Yoghurts -
I bought 2 packs of Yoghurts with 4 in each pack and have tried all the flavours included which are - Strawberry, Cherry, Peach and Mango and Passion Fruit, they were all fat free and ranged from 64 - 68 calories per pot.
I thought all the Yoghurts had a very creamy texture and it certainly didn’t seem that I was eating a fat free, low calorie Yoghurt, there was a good amount of fruit included and my favourite flavour was the Mango and Passion Fruit one.
I don’t really buy many Yoghurts but will buy these again in the future, they were good quality and at 4 in a pack for £1 good value as well.
I thought the packaging was very good and eye catching and easy to find in the chilled aisle.
Lentil & Bacon Soup -
This is a soup I have never tasted before and I suppose being a member of the Orchard is about trying new or different products so I thought I’d give it a go.
After heating the soup in the microwave I noticed how thick the soup was and also had other vegetables included which were Potato’s, Carrots and Onions which is a good thing because I don’t think I eat as many vegetables as I should do, also on the tin it stated that half a tin was 1 of my five a day.
The taste and texture was very good and there appeared to be lots of vegetables included as well as a good amount of bacon and I didn’t feel the need to add any additional seasonings as I have had to do with some other branded soups.
Pea & Ham Soup -
Although I have tried this kind of soup before it wasn’t out of a tin it was a Cuppa-Soup which I thoroughly enjoyed so I knew I would probably like this one as well.
And I did enjoy it, although it was not as thick as the Lentil & Bacon soup tried previously it was still thicker than a lot of branded soups that I have tried before, it was seasoned perfectly and the combination of Peas and Ham worked well together.
I think these tins of Soup represent excellent value for money at 45p each and after using the coupons sent to me I paid just 25p for 5 tins of good quality soup and I will be buying them every week now to take to work with me for my lunch instead of spending over £3 a day on a sandwich and a packet of crisps at the local Deli, So as well as saving loads of money I’ll also be eating much more healthier.
The products I have tried up to now from the #OneLittleChange programme from the Orchard at Tesco have all been of an excellent quality and the reduction of Salt, Sugar, Fat, and Calories without any compromise on taste are certainly welcomed by me. #TriedForLess
