Honestly I think it is the best breakfast for you in the world and you can add anything you want.

 

 

Mmmmmm...... crab oatmeal with Hershey's syrup.

Almost as good as chunky fish ice cream.

I never thought about if it was tasty or not.  I just always eat the stuff, 1 bag, but, often times two bags.  If you're heading to the gym, a long morning hike, whatever, not much better food to stay with you (in the gut) all morning.  And like others have said, boiling water for 2 things (my pour over coffee and instant oatmeal) is easy.

<snip>  If I'm boiling water for my coffee anyway why not boil more and get 2 things out of one boil. I may have to get some oatmeal for future trips.

 

bingo!

The best thing about it is you never crave simple carbs when you eat it and it really does keep you satisfied for hours.

 

Yup, my Dad said, "It sticks to your ribs" meaning you had added an all day log to the fire for fuel.

 

3 packages in the morning with whatever fresh fruit is available.............UPS stops about everyday so might was well bring some fancy goatmeal along. Thanks for the post Mr. Sage.

Yep, that's what Ms. Tuff Chick and I do. Just boil water & go. Typical breakfast for us consist of instant oatmeal, fresh fruit or Greek yogurt and instant Starbucks coffee. No fuss, no muss, no dishes (paper bowls) and we're ready for the day's adventure.

So tonight I picked up some maple/brown sugar oatmeal at trader joes. Since I saw the "maple/nut" flavor mentioned here I've been thinking about the maple nut bars we had in our MRE's when I was in the Corps. I loved those things. So just now I looked up the "natures path" mentioned here. Heck I eat granola from that brand already. Pretty good stuff. So should I return the TJ's and go get Natures Path?

Eat and enjoy.  Nothing wrong with most of TJ's products.  Then buy you some NP.

 

I prefer the flax seed instant oatmeal.  Tends to have more fiber and less sugar than other add-on oatmeals.

 

Just took a look at NP on Amazon.  Much, much cheaper to purchase directly from Nature's Path web site.  Free shipping on orders over $45.  That's a month's supply of oatmeal!

 

Most negative reviews of both TJ and NP flax oatmeal is the sugar content;  11g and 10g respectively.

Stopped in a sprouts market and the Nature's Path is on sale for $3/box of 8 packets

I burned out on instant oatmeal mountaineering:  3 pack + powdered milk + boiling water + force it down before it freezes = yuck!

 

When not making eggs and bacon, I go with Bob's Red Mill 5 grain or 8 grain + heavy cream.  I takes a few minutes to cook but I'm not in any hurry.
