There are those of us who have grown up eating oatmeal and those of us who avoided it as much as possible throughout their lives. I think the reason that many people avoid oatmeal is that they have not tried it the "proper way", as I call it. I personally have tried oatmeal with plain water and felt like vomiting throughout the whole bowl. I just could not finish it. The "proper way" to make oatmeal is to add a little bit of honey, milk, and vanilla extract while you are cooking it which is what I did to these oatmeal packs.
I actually got them from my neighbors who decided after a few packs that they did not like the taste of oatmeal. They didn't want to waste the food (bless them; most people waste a lot of food these days) so they gave them to my family.
Each individual pack is sealed to freshness and has 190 calories, a more decent serving size than the miniature Quaker. It was already presweetened for me so I added some almond milk and boiled it stove top.
The varieties include:
Maple and Brown Sugar
Mixed Berry
Apple Cinnamon
Flaxeed
All four flavors tasted delicious. My favorite would have to be the Maple and Brown Sugar. The Mixed Berry had a medicinal taste when I first put it in my mouth but after a while I have grown to really like it. The apple cinnamon has room for improvement but is delicious nevertheless. And the flaxeed honestly tasted like plain oatmeal. The flaxeeds were grinded up so you only see them in speckles. This is actually the proper way to eat flaxeed because all the health benefits of flaxeed are located within the seed, so swallowing it whole won't do.
Overall I give these packs a 7/10
