Uncle Tobys Oats Quick Sachets Hi Fibre | Chewsday Review
If you’re looking for an oat-rageously quick brekkie, Uncle Tobys Oats Quick Sachets Hi Fibre are here to save the day, but will they leave your wallet feeling a little seedy? Let’s find out in this week’s Chewsday Review.
- Whole Grain Rolled Oats (76%), Sugar, Oat Fibre (5.6%), Modified Starch (1412), Linseed (3%), Honey (Maltodextrin, Dried Honey, Natural Flavour).
- Oat fibre is a type of fibre that’s made from the protective shell around the oat seed.
- Allergens: Gluten.
- May contain: Wheat, Barley, Rye, Milk, Tree Nuts, Lupin.
- Adding oat fibre to these Uncle Tobys Oats Quick Sachets Hi Fibre has boosted the dietary fibre to 7g per serve, which is more than double the target of 3g per serve. It’s also almost double the dietary fibre found in regular Uncle Tobys Quick Oats (3.7g per serve).
- Even with the added sugar and honey, the total sugar in these sachets is 9.4g per 100g, meeting our goal of less than 15g per 100g.
- Sodium and saturated fat are very low at 25mg per 100g, and 1.4g per 100g respectively.
- These sachets come out at $19.70 per kg (ouch) and are almost 10 times the price of supermarket-branded oats, which are $2.10 per kg and also exceed our fibre target of at least 3g per serve.
- Source of fibre’ – tick! A serving of these oats provides around 50% of your child’s daily fibre needs.
- ‘Source of whole grain’ – correct!
- ‘No artificial colours or flavours.’ – This one is right but unspecified ‘natural’ ingredients are not always the best.
- If you’re after a high-fibre breakfast with the convenience of pre-measured serves, then Uncle Tobys Oats Quick Sachets Hi Fibre are a great option.
- Uncle Tobys Oats Quick Sachets Hi Fibre will set you back about $0.79 per serve which can add up in the long run. If you’ve got the time in your mornings, prepping your own portion of Coles or Woolworths Quick Oats at $0.05 per serve will save you money and still provide a great amount of fibre!
