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!
