Customer Rating: Summary: REAL Fruit inside! Comment: I read the other reviews before buying. But this cup really has whole berries in it and large chunks of peach. I was amazed! Great flavor and texture. Very easy to prepare and my selective 4 1/2 yr old ate it all up! I just wish it had less sugar. Given that any person who makes this cup will eat it all most likely and thus has 2 servings or 18grams of sugar! Way too much, I wish this was available in a lite sugar version. I will have this for the kids once in a while since it is very flavorful and they eat it. But I try not to serve that much sugar. Whole grains are important to our bodies health, but having too much sugar is as bad as not having the whole grain. Be sure to add an extra 20 minutes to your run time each day and you can enjoy these cups without worry! Customer Rating: Summary: Hearty, very pleasant instant oatmeal with fruity bits--a big serving, too Comment: First thing you notice when you stir up the cup of cereal with the requisite water is that there are whole raspberries in there, not just raspberry flavoring or bits. Real fruit. Nice.
I cooked it a bit longer (10 seconds) than the suggested time (1 minute, 45 seconds), and I let it sit three minutes. It came out fine. The texture is nice--you have real chewability here. Not mush. Real bite. And the sweetness is great for adults--not cloying, unlike cereals would appeal more to kids.
The size is quite generous. In fact, I wish it was a bit smaller size, honestly. It's 300 calories for the whole cup (8 grams of fiber total). I find that I eat 2/3 of it and am fine. Besides, I like a variety type breakfast (ie, eggs with toast and juice, oatmeal and an egg white scramble with veggies, etc). I don't just like ONE thing (ie, oatmeal or just toast or just eggs). So, I eat part of this, save the rest to use as a dessert after dinner: I add canned peaches (or frozen) over it, sprinkle with cinnamon and add some honey, nuke it--my own little superfast peach cobbler. :)
If you want a convenience hot cereal, this is a good choice if you like oats, barley and some subtle real fruit flavor and sweetness.
This does have soy, though, in case you're sensitive. No dairy, though.
Mir Customer Rating: Summary: Great Breakfast Comment: This is a wonderful breakfast. It taste like grandmother made it. Both this and the cranberry are wonderful whether they are healthy or not. Customer Rating: Summary: Barley and Oats Comment: A perfect quick breakfast meal you can keep in your desk or pack in a bag on a trip. I loved the combination of oats and barley and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. Customer Rating: Summary: My favorite instant oatmeal so far. Comment: I love Dr. McDougall's products, and this is my favorite instant oatmeal (compared to his other flavors and the Nature's Path oatmeal I eat at work). The large size makes is a hearty meal and it fits perfectly into my cup holder. So, when I get to college in the morning at 7am, I can eat this wholesome breakfast and feel full most of the morning until class ends at 12:30 pm. Not too much sugar yet still flavorful. Good texture, too.
