Win a Magimix toaster and hamper worth £180!

Our chums at Mornflake are giving away a hamper chock full of oaty goodness and a top-notch toaster too! Enter out competition to win the lot.

Breakfast, the most important meal of the day, come rain or shine, and let's face it, this summer we've had rather too much of the former. An energy and spirit-raising breakfast is what you need – look no further than porridge.

Oats have the best nutritional value of any cereal and are full of natural goodness, so not only offer a genuine pick-me-up on dark and dreary days, but also give you extra zest when (or should that be 'if') summer finally arrives. Whether you opt for a simple breakfast porridge made with Mornflake oats and milk or water, the citrusy and energising Sunshine Porridge or a recipe of your own, you’ll be giving yourself the very best start to the day. Oats also help reduce blood cholesterol and can prolong the feeling of fullness after meals, so they’re ideal if you’re trying to get into shape.   

The prize

A fantastic Mornflake Sunshine Porridge Hamper, which includes Mornflake Superfast Oats, Organic Oats, Oats 2 Go, Original Oat Granola, Mornflake Muesli, Oatbran, and a Magimix Le Toaster 2 Slot, worth £130.00 to help raise your spirits even further! Visit www.magimix.com for more information.
