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.
