0 Comments

 
Have you noticed over the last week that the mornings have become a little milder? That the 7am sprint to the shower isn't as chilly or savage? Spring is almost in reach! 

​
As the weather starts to warm up we often feel like a lighter breakfast that still delivers the same warmth and comfort as a bowl of oats.

Enter Rolled Rice Flakes. Quick to prepare, nutritious, gluten free and soothingly delicious, they're the perfect breakfast in a bowl, hot or cold - and we're going to walk you through both!
