Tips
When eating them on their own try toppings that are more moist and leave them to soak in for a few minutes before eating as this softens them slightly. Mix chopped tomatoes, basil and chopped ham in a bowl with lots of salt and pepper - leave for a while for the tomatoes to reduce some juice (which they will do due to the salt) and then pile on your scan bran. You can also add diced red onion or HE of olive oil - like bruchetta - yummy!
Cottage cheese with pineapple is a good topping.
If you have a few scan bran with a glass of water it really fills you up.
Breakfast: 2 scan bran (1 syn) broken into pieces and covered with frozen fruits of the forest/ summer fruits. Defrost it in the microwave (or leave to defrost overnight) and the juices from the fruits make the Scan/Oat bran soggy. Top it off with a banana and yogurt.
