Who doesn’t like porridge?

Want some free porridge for breakfast this weekend? Well, you’re in luck. Flahavan’s have teamed up with RTÉ Operation Transformation to bring you Free Porridge Day.

It literally means you can go get a free packet of porridge this Saturday, January 28th. The event is to celebrate Operation Transformation’s 10th year of the show and to raise awareness of the importance of porridge in people’s diet to live longer, live better.

Flahavans will be distributing over 200,000 free packs of porridge nationwide. The 500g packs will be available through supermarkets, SuperValu, Tesco, EuroSpar and Dunnes Stores.

Professor Donal O’Shea, an Operation Transformation expert, say:

“There are many reasons why porridge is the best breakfast food especially if you wish to control weight. Porridge oats will not only help you feel fuller for longer but they will also kick-start your metabolism and make it work more efficiently. Young or old, oats are good for everyone in the family. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for your health – and porridge is the best start.”

John Flahavan, Managing Director of Flahavan’s, added:

“Flahavan’s are delighted to come on board with this exciting initiative to help people get back to wholesome natural foods. We believe that this is a unique opportunity for Flahavan’s to join up with Operation Transformation to reach every corner of Ireland and encourage each and every household to think differently about how they start their day to live longer, live better.”
