20 Best Instant Oatmeal For Diabetics (2023 Updated)

The texture isn’t as chewy as regular oatmeal but the taste is spot on, in my opinion. Because we need to eat slower after surgery, I found I got full easily on this so it is a good meal. I am 7 mos post op and I really like it so I’ve kept ordering to help me not only stay on track, but to enjoy the benefits of this healthy oatmeal.

I do recommend it if you like and miss oatmeal. Just don’t expect the texture to be the same. I add enough water to make it thick, not runny.

I was surprised by the taste. It’s very delicious. It doesn’t have a heavy chalky taste. It is like regular Apple Cinnamon oatmeal. And i like that it has bits of apple in it also. This is a great breakfast and it does take long to make.

Plain it isn’t great, but is good and when you look at the protein in it, well worth it for breakfast. I make mine with lactaid milk and add frozen mixed berries. All good stuff for you. Make it in a 16oz Pyrex measuring cup and eat it while driving to work.

the handle on the cup “hangs” nicely on my hand while driving. Bad, I know. but when you have to drive 30miles to work, every way to save time so you can snooze a little longer helps :).

Myself my family recently got to try Nature’s Path Organic “Gluten Free ” Brown Sugar Maple Oatmeal the first thing I’d like to share is that, I was blown away by how delicious it really is! We are all definitely oatmeal lovers around here, but for the last few years, we haven’t had the healthiest breakfasts.

With a growing family busy schedule, its always so hectic before school/work in the mornings, so we always eat something “quick easy” usually not so great for you “health wise” on weekdays. When we have oatmeal, it’s not how my grandma taught me (homemade) It’s individual insant packs of Quaker Oats, Variety Flavored Oatmeal.

While we like the taste, we know it’s not the best for our diet because of the ingredients high sugar levels. So discovering this Brand Flavor has changed our mornings for good! It surprised me that the kids even love it (ages 8 months to 19 years old!) Quakers Brown Sugar Maple Oatmeal now tastes absolutely artificial to us and there’s no turning back! This is the closest thing to homemade, got off the stove REAL oatmeal I’ve ever found in an instant! There’s so many benefits in the ingredients when they eat Natures Path, they get fuller for longer and I know it’s much better stuff going into our bodies! This is amazing served hot in the a.

m. (who am I kidding? Afternoons Evenings too lol) on its own, topped with your favor fruits or paired as a side with a bigger breakfast AND this is The best oatmeal I’ve ever used to make Overnight Oats! You can make it with any milk.

youd like, Cow, Soy, Almomd, your favorite yogurt, honey etc. After they chill all night we like to top our overnight oats with bananas, shredded coconut and almonds. But you can make them anyway you’d like.

The brown sugar flavor gives them an extra rich taste and is the perfect flavor for the recipe i mentioned above. The kids love this oatmeal anyway we have it they enjoy helping with preparing Over Night Oats as well.

If you’re looking for a better but still quick Oatmeal, you HAVE TO GET THESE! Since discovering The Brown Sugar Maple, we buy Blueberry Cinnamon Flax, Apple Cinnamon, Homestyle Variety. These are our go-to instant oatmeal packs I never thought an “instant oatmeal” could beat Quaker.

Boy was I wrong! We recommend it now to all of our family and friends! they’re loving it too! Go get some ASAP!!!!.

I like the instant cereal. Trying to eat healthier and stay away from Quaker Products and Cheerios as they test positive for Glycophosphates. You have to be careful as a consumer. Roundup can cause cancer and the Oats used in Cheerios and Oatmeal I’ve read, have been sprayed with Roundup to make them dry faster.

Very Alarmed so I bought healthier choices for me and my Grandkids. I like that this cereal is mildly sweet, not overly sweet like Quaker Instant Oatmeal. Its Organic and has Flax ground up in it so it has Omega 3’s added.

Love it. Flax seed are tasteless really so the addition is just great extra nutrition!.

Okay Quaker, what’s it going to take to get the original recipe brought back? Honest to god, please tell me! You can keep the new one, but bring the old back too and advertise it. I promise, you’ll see which sells more.

I see how many other reviewers feel the same way as I do. You have to see it too. So what do I need to do to make this happen? Money?? A petition with X Amount of signatures? Just tell me. I will get it done.

I am 35 years old and the strawberries and cream oatmeal is a piece of my childhood that I buy regularly. Literally I use to buy a box a week. Then “the change” came and after buying 3-4 boxes I finally figured out it was something you guys actually choose to do instead of a bad shipment my local store had.

Since I’ve been on a search to find a “generic” brand that tastes like the original. I’ve tried probably 15 different brands… The closest I’ve come is the Hy-Vee stores generic strawberrries and cream.

It’s pretty close to your original and usually will work to satisfy the craving but of course it’s not your original so it doesn’t satisfy the way you’re always had. And then, to make it worse, about 12 weeks ago I found out I was pregnant.

And with the pregnancy has come two things… 1. ) my craving is now not a want but a desperate need. And 2. ) the heightened senses that so many get when pregnant, including sense of smell and taste. Unfortunately the heightened senses are making it so the knock off oatmeal I’ve been trying to get use to is just not cutting it! So PLEASE tell me what to do.

I will do it. Help this pregnant mama get what she is craving!!! I’m begging you. PLEASE.

I remember being a young child, 4 or 5 years old, waking up much too early with my dad when he was getting ready for work. He would always make me a bowl of Quaker Instant Oatmeal – Strawberries and Cream.

I would eat my breakfast, then go back to bed until the rest of the family got up for the day. I’ve loved and enjoyed this breakfast for over 30 years and I absolutely HATE the changes that have been made.

The flavor is borderline disgusting and the look follows suit. I am so incredibly disappointed. I’ve tried several times to get on board with this new “better for me” version. But I literally can’t stomach it.

I never write reviews, but I can’t help it this time. Consider this one more plea (added to the MANY already on this page) to change your formula back to something that is actually appetizing.

I like an easy breakfast some mornings and an instant pack (or two) of oatmeal usually does the trick. The regular variety of Quaker’s oatmeal has quite a bit of sugar, so just as a means to avoid going overboard I myself opted into trying the lower sugar packets – and honestly they taste about the same.

However, there’s one glaring issue that should not go unnoticed. I’m not quite sure *when* this has taken place but this variety pack of flavors has shrunk in size to a whopping 9. 3 oz per packet, whereas its sister product of maple & brown sugar with less sugar has around 11oz of oatmeal inside, and the regular packets with more sugar have around 15oz of oatmeal.

Had these packets shrunk any further you are essentially getting double the amount of oatmeal in one single package, for the same price of the ones with less sugar! Recommended only because it’s still good, but if you can maybe just try the generic brands and get more out of your money (or with any food item lately, because of the wild “shrinkflation” trend that never seems to end).

Buying the larger box, we get 5 every month of assorted flavors, is a quick fulfilling way to start the day. I have a pantry basket that I pour all 100 packets into and my sons grab a couple to a bowl and add hot water from the tap.

It smells delicious and oatmeal is a great way to start the day. It’s just as good as the more expensive brand names and easy to make. It’s a really good deal cost wise and so healthy! This is a perfect solution for people with kids and the variety of oatmeal flavors never gets boring.

I try not to eat a lot of foods with sugar, but there is sugar in just about everything. For not having any sugar, this oatmeal tastes fantastic! I had to double check the label to make sure. I used to get the Quaker oats variery pack, and each only only had 4g of sugar.

But this has 0g, and tastes al. ost as good. I wish they had more varieties, but can only seem to find this one. I will continue to buy it as its great for breakfast and easy to take when traveling.

I gave the GV Instant Oatmeal Maple and Brown Sugar Pack, 20 Packets 4 stars due to mostly positive and a few negative comments. PROS: budget oatmeal in large (20 count packets) box. Delivery was swift.

Calories per packet was reasonable. Flavor would improve and will go with any added item due to plain taste of oatmeal such as added blueberries or sliced bananas. CONS: I thought oatmeal was overly processed with no lumps and hardly any oats that can be felt.

I like less processed products in general. Taste was also plain although improved when adding other add-ins. All in all this was worthy product.

Somehow, this manages to not taste anything like strawberries, cream, or even oatmeal. The strawberry taste is that cloying candy flavor – way too strong and sugary. It doesn’t taste like actual berries, despite the real pieces, and overpowers any other flavor that might be present.

It also colors the whole bowl bright red – even though the coloring is from plants, it looks incredibly unnatural and unappetizing It used to taste like oatmeal with an occasional bite of strawberry.

I was looking forward to that after being stuck overseas for the pandemic. I bought three boxes in delight; imagine my sorrow when I couldn’t enjoy this taste of home. I can’t even return them due to Covid protocols here, so take my advice and buy literally any other brand.

So, I usually get my oatmeal from Trader Joe’s or Sprouts, but I was lazy and decided to shop where I could drive-up. This oatmeal is…just not good to me. I’m forcing myself to eat it so that I don’t waste my money, but I have yet to finish a bowl.

I’m in the middle of force feeding myself as I type this! It reminds me of the oatmeal I ate at daycare when I was a child, but worse. I’ve tried using my usual amount of water, more, and even less. Each time it’s been hard to finish a bowl, a small bowl by the way.

I’m not watching my weight or anything, I just didn’t want Quaker. I see now that I’ll always have to go into a store to get the oatmeal I can enjoy and finish. Again, not horrible, but my taste buds are not messing with this oatmeal at all.

Being that I rely on oatmeal for breakfast (because I don’t like eating so early), this has thrown my week off. If I could donate the remainder of the packs, I would.

I love this oatmeal. I first discovered the maple flavor several years ago and then just recently I tried the cinnamon. (because that’s all that was available ). I think I fell in love with the cinnamon flavor more than the maple.

I’ve tried other brands of lite oatmeal‘s , low-calorie and/or sugar-free and they don’t taste as good as this one ! this is the better brand and I love that you can use the pouch for measuring the water.

I don’t have any problems with the this oatmeal. it really love it! I don’t buy any other cereal now. I just wish the price would go down or give us coupons for reduced price.

I have this brand of oatmeal every morning, and it’s usually great, but I recently got three boxes of this flavor from Target and the packets are not sealed properly. I noticed when using the packet to measure my water, and a thin steam of water escaped from a bottom corner of the packet.

Then I saw that all the rest were the same way – sealed off-center so one bottom corner either had a tiny hole or sprung one once I put water in – and the oats smelled stale. These defective boxes all have a best by date of Feb 23, 2023.

Target, please address this and please carry the Thick n’ Hearty in Maple and Brown Sugar flavor! So much better than the steel cut!.

The weather is starting to cool and my cravings have turned towards warm comfort foods. Thankfully, this product is so yummy and satisfying that my eyes light up when I open the cupboard to look for breakfast.

I think “Yay! Gonna have some oatmeal today!” And then with the jar versus the single serve packs, I can adjust the size of my serving to meet my needs for the day. The flavor is nice and the maple is aromatic.

It really hits the spot. If you slowly mix in the hot water, making a paste first then adding more and more liquid until it’s the right texture, you can get a nice smooth oatmeal.

It’s brilliant to have a large container of oatmeal. The little packages almost seem wasteful. While this isn’t the kind of oatmeal that we grew up on, because there’s far more protein, it’s a nice alternative.

I like to make mine with extra water so it’s a little bit more drinkable some people might want to make it with a little bit less water so it’s a little bit thicker.

The oatmeal is great! The texture and taste is just like traditional oatmeal. I even meal prep it the night before by mixing it with hot water, chia seeds and a scoop of collagen peptides and quick pop it in the microwave for 2 minutes the next morning.

It’s a fine product. Warm morning breakfasts that fill you up can be difficult to find and this product does the trick. It’s tough to clean out of the bowl and needs a heavy stirring to prepare, but it’s a wonderful addition to the menu.

It’s tastes like oatmeal and there’s enough sweetness.

Good flavor. I have only tried it once and I used the microwave method but I think I will use a different method of cooking it to improve the consistency next time which may help

This oatmeal is better tasting than store bought. The fact it is better for you is the added plus.

This oatmeal is amazing! It is not only healthy but it also taste amazing. My go to every morning!

This is incredible value for your money in the very convenient and nutritious food. The box contains 20 packages of oatmeal. In my opinion this great value oatmeal product is superior to the number one name brand oatmeal manufacturer.

You cannot find oatmeal at this price anywhere on the internet. I know. I’ve looked. I eat oatmeal everyday as a snack or as a meal so I go through many boxes of oatmeal a month. The individual packets make it easy to carry along anywhere on a hike, a bike ride, a run or a walk anytime.

I always have many packages in my backpack together with a small container of Kool-Aid. I just mix it up anywhere anytime, three or four packages of oatmeal with some Kool-Aid and BANG! instant NUTRITIOUS meal.

Great product! Would definitely recommend! It met my expectations. It was not pricey at all! It was a great price for the vAlue and quality of the product. ! also, very nice packaging! Would recommend buying!!! I am in love! Give it a try:)).

Ooooooo. I love these. My two boys and I love having these for breakfast. I’ll add some bananas and they are delicious. So simple and easy to make. The packets are small so that’s why I add fruit. I recommend these to everyone.

Especially on cold mornings. Yummy!!!.

I adore because it is the maximum and for me one of the best brands is this, they recommend with my eyes closed because it is the best in the world so feel free to buy and test and this treat other benefit is economic it is and it is something very appealing.

They’re great to eat alone or use as a base. I usually add a protein and some chopped vegetables. It helps cut down on prep and cook time so very convenient.
