Who doesn't like oatmeal? It's wholesome, it's good for you, and it's the perfect pick me up on a cold winter's day. That's why I was pleasantly surprised to see Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal in my Holiday VoxBox, free from Influenster. And it comes in a convenient cup instead of a pouch! What a great idea! I wish someone would have thought of this sooner. Preparing the oatmeal couldn't be easier. You just pop open the seal, add water or milk to the little blue fill line, nuke it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, and wallah! Instant gooey goodness for breakfast! Unfortunately, I was given Summer Berry to taste test and, although I'm a huge fan of strawberries and blueberries, I was not impressed by the flavor or texture. The oatmeal tasted bitter. It really needed some sugar or a hint of creamer to liven things up a bit. The oats were too big and bland. They soaked up all of the moisture in the cup within a matter of minutes and left me with a cold, sticky clump of cement-grade cereal surrounding my spoon. Not appetizing at all. Mixing in a little extra milk and nuking it again helped somewhat, but not by much. It took me almost an hour--and multiple cups of orange juice--to choke down the last spoonful. It was the first time in a long time that I actually had to force myself to finish breakfast. I'm sad to say that I would not recommend this product to others. At least, not at this particular point in time. BOTTOM LINE: Great concept, poor delivery!

It was quick and easy and good.

quick and easy.

The one drawback about Quaker Medley Oatmeal is cooking in the microwave...which I limit. The flavor was a surprise...I would have never thought of it but it was great!

I never liked oatmeal because I couldn't stand the stickiness of it. The attraction of the Cherry Pistachio Oatmeal was too much for me though. I wanted to lower my cholesterol and knew that oatmeal was supposed to help, so I found this product to possibly be my introduction to a food that I'd hated most of my life. The mix of cherries, almonds, pistachios and multigrains was simply delicious! It was a hot cereal without the stickiness or dull appearance of regular oatmeal. I'd found a breakfast that was good for me and tasted good too. I'd highly recommend it in the easy to use microwave bowl, but I'd follow the directions for adding the boiling water. When I prepared it in the microwave as directed, it started to bubble over.

Great and delicious medleys! It is yummy and healthy, which makes breakfast perfect!! I love the different variety of flavours!! I would definitely recommend this to my friends.

This oatmeal was thick and filling. The whole blueberries were a nice treat too! It was easy to make here at the office by using the hot water spout on the water cooler. You can also use the microwave if you don't have access to hot water. The outside of the container does get hot though so be careful.

I love these. They are so easy and quick to make, plus great for on the go when your in a hurry!

awesome i love all the flavors I keep them in my cabinet for the breakfast or snack when I want something warm in my belly awesome

These are the perfect start to your morning, just the right amount and they come in a variety of delicious flavors. This perfectly portioned cup gives you the right amount to keep you full till lunch and is packed with nutrition, perfect for those mornings when you need to grab something and go.

I recently bought a few of these. They are quick to make, have flavor and are portioned right. This was easy to make in the microwave. It does bubble over if you put too much water in it. I went below the area designated. I liked the throw away cup as well,no dishes! It would be nice if they attached a disposable spoon to it.

I love these! They are great for when you Re on the go, I always take one to work with me for breakfast

This oatmeal is convenient to take to work. Plus, it's delicious. Mostly made with whole ingredients you know your eating healthy. It keeps me full until lunch!

Medleys were my go to food when I was limited on my food intake. Great flavor without bothering my stomach.

I love these convenient little cups! I love all of the flavors that I've tried, with the banana walnut being my favorite. They have a decent amount of calories and not too much sugar. And they actually keep me full in the mornings, although I do snack quite a bit so if you expect to stay full for maybe 4 or 5 hours this probably wouldn't keep you full.
