Smart Ones Oatmeal

Disclaimer: This post was created in partnership with Smart Ones®. All opinions are my own.





Does the picture above make you hungry? It makes me hungry! When i recently went to the store to pick up my Smart Ones oatmeal, I struggled at which flavor to try.

So I picked up one of each! You cannot blame me. With flavors like Apple Cinnamon, Peaches and Cream, and Maple and Brown Sugar, you cannot just pick one! It can be found in the frozen aisle in heat and eat cups. Each serving is perfectly portioned for me and knowing that it is low calorie and not loaded with more sugar that any human needs is very exciting.

After getting home I needed to make the dreaded choice. Which one do I try first? I chose to try the Apple Cinnamon flavor first. Knowing that you can never go wrong with apples or cinnamon. Looking at the ingredients made me like the Smart Ones Oatmeal even more! The main ingredients are steel cut oats, oats, granola and walnuts. Really, most other oatmeal brands are sugar, sugar, and more sugar!

It turns out that not only do I really like the Smart one oatmeal, but so do my kids. If you are a busy mom, like I am, this is a great way to feed your family a healthy breakfast. It can even be great on the go!

Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal+ Review

 

Recently I received a Holiday Voxbox from Influenster. Inside the box was a Peach Almond Oatmeal from the Quaker Real Medleys line. I am not a huge breakfast eater, but with my hectic hours, I thought I would give it a try.

When I opened the container I could immediately smell the peach. It made my mouth water to the point that I was not sure that I could wait the couple of minutes it was going to take to add water and cook it.

I was very impressed with the heartiness of the Real Medleys oatmeal. It was dense and there was not gobs of sugar added. In fact, what I found was that the peaches were sweet enough for the entire cup of oatmeal. 

I really enjoyed this and I am looking forward to trying the other varieties available.
