Six ingredients: oats, soya, peanut butter, jaggery and real coffee

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Jaggery is not sugar"

Jaggery is less refined, but the body treats it like sugar, and the WHO counts it as free sugar.

Myth: "Coffee oats replace your morning coffee"

There is some caffeine, but less than a regular cup; check before giving it to children.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsDaily, one 40 g scoop
  • ChildrenNot ideal: contains caffeine
  • Diabetes or prediabetesMeasured serve; the jaggery counts as sugar

Smarter ways to eat it

Sweeten with fruit

Banana, berries or chopped apple on top add sweetness and fibre without more jaggery or sugar.

Mix with plain oats

Half a scoop of this with plain rolled oats keeps most of the protein boost and halves the sugar or salt per bowl.
