Her latest product is Ready-in-90 Instant Oats, a quick porridge that can be prepared in 90 seconds. It includes dried fruit and chia seeds, which Lam said provide added fibre for a sustained release of blood glucose, and makes a healthier alternative to eating a local breakfast like chee cheong fun or fried carrot cake. More flavours and food items are in the works.
For Lam, the goal was never to ask people to give up their comfort foods, only to offer an alternative for days when they want to eat more healthily.
Her message to mums is not to be too hard on themselves. She noted that many go to extreme lengths to keep their children healthy, and feel guilty when they fall short of their standards.
