Breakfast has become more of a lifestyle choice than a meal, and if you’re someone who’s constantly torn between protein oats, traditional poha, and clean pancake mixes, this one’s for you.

I tried three of India’s most talked-about instant breakfasts – YogaBar Protein Oats, True Elements Instant Poha, and Slurrp Farm Millet Pancake Mix , to see which one actually fits different mornings.

Best Instant Breakfast Options

Brand	What It Promises	Best For
YogaBar Protein Oats	High in protein, rich in fiber, and ready in 3 minutes.	Busy, fitness-focused mornings.
True Elements Instant Poha	Clean, traditional Indian breakfast made quick and easy.	Light eaters or comfort-food mornings.
Slurrp Farm Millet Pancake Mix	Clean-label, gluten-free, kid-friendly mix made from millets.	Slow weekends or family breakfasts.

Each brand defines “healthy” differently. YogaBar markets functionality, True Elements champions heritage, and Slurrp Farm highlights clean comfort.

Taste & Texture

YogaBar Protein Oats

Creamy, nutty, and filling, this one feels more like a protein shake in a bowl than a traditional breakfast. Perfect for days when you need sustained energy.

Redditors agree:

“YogaBar Protein Oats are a great option for those looking for a quick and healthy breakfast.”
“Having one meal that’s dump-and-go is priceless.”
“Good but kinda expensive and lots of packaging waste.”

My Verdict: Great for fitness or workdays. It’s convenient, high-protein, and functional, but not the most economical option.

True Elements Instant Poha

Soft, familiar, and comforting. It tastes like the poha you’d make at home, just a lot quicker.

True Elements Poha is perfect for those who like traditional breakfasts.

From Reddit threads:

“A good choice for those who prefer a more traditional, savoury breakfast.”
“More affordable — easy to prep for a few days.”

My Verdict: The best option if you want something wholesome, light, and customizable. You can tweak it sweet or savoury, it never disappoints.

Slurrp Farm Millet Pancake Mix

A clean, guilt-free version of weekend pancakes. Slightly grainy from millets, naturally sweet, and fluffy when made with oat milk or eggs.

As one user summed up:

“It’s freaking delicious, and I’m not even a fan of caramel things.”
“A bit pricey but worth it for the clean ingredients.”

My Verdict: Ideal for weekend mornings or slow days when you want comfort with nutrition. Feels indulgent but still fits a mindful diet.

Price, Value & The Edit Perception

YogaBar and Slurrp Farm are positioned at a premium price point, targeting wellness and convenience seekers.
True Elements remains the most budget-friendly and versatile option.

“YogaBar’s expensive but worth it for the nutrition.”
“True Elements Poha gives better value for money.”
“Slurrp Farm justifies the price with its quality and clean ingredients.”

Each brand monetizes a mindset — YogaBar sells time, True Elements sells tradition, and Slurrp Farm sells trust.

My Honest Choice

If I had to pick one – I wouldn’t.

Each breakfast fits a different kind of morning:

• YogaBar Protein Oats – when you need protein and performance.
• True Elements Poha – when you want something light and comforting.
• Slurrp Farm Pancake Mix – when you want a clean indulgence that feels homemade.

It’s not about choosing one “best” product; it’s about knowing what kind of morning you’re having.

The Pantry Edit Tip

• Pair YogaBar Oats with black coffee for energy.
• Pair True Elements Poha with chai for comfort.
• Pair Slurrp Farm Pancakes with honey and fruit for balance.
