My Experience with McDonald’s Porridge with Strawberry Jam

I still remember the day when I had first tried McDonald’s porridge with strawberry jam on my way to school. The warmth and comfort that I felt on the chilly January morning is unforgettable.

My obsession with McD is not new, I have been a fan of their nutritious meals and wraps since forever.
Not only was it a flavor packed meal but it was also healthy and nutritious because strawberries are considered to carry all the necessary vitamins required by an average adult.
From then till now, whenever I want something ready to eat, as my morning meal, I always prefer to have oatmeal porridge with strawberry jam by McDonald’s.
Made with whole grain Jumbo oats and cooked in British semi-skimmed milk served with Jam, it gives me enough warmth and energy to get started on my hectic work routine without any snack breaks.
