Has anyone tried this? I just ordered some to keep at work, since I seem to have a problem getting up early enough to cook myself breakfast in the morning. I was wondering what others thought about it.

Thanks,
Robin

I love it and eat it every other day with cream and Splenda! It really helps to regulate things (11 grams of fiber) and fills me up until lunch. Which kind did you get? My favorite is the Cinnamon and Spice. FYI I used to keep it at work, too. don't micrwave it! Just pour heated water on top of it...

I got the cinnamon & spice, vanilla & almond, and the strawberries and cream. I figured that one would be good to help with my fruit cravings! Thanks for the tip about microwaving. We are lucky here, we have a faucet that is specifically for "steaming water". It's just right for things like oatmeal or cup-a-soup.

Glad to hear you like it! I am looking forward to trying it :) I was excited to find something quick and easy for in the mornings. One other question - do you find that the 1/2 cup the package says is one serving is enough?

Thanks,
Robin

More than enough. It must have cream and Splenda on it, though (sometimes I put a bit of better for added caloroies). It can be a bit...slimy. It is like MaltoMeal with the slime from oatmeal in it. Not bad, but needs to be diluted a bit with cream...It is very rich and filling.
