I received a free box of Quaker Steel Cut Quick 3 Minute Oatmeal Blueberries and Cranberries from BzzAgent for testing purposes. I love oatmeal so I was excited to try it.

Before I tried the oatmeal, I read some reviews from other people saying if you add the amount of water that the box says (which is 2/3 cup), it will get really soupy. I don't like soupy oatmeal, so I only added 1/2 cup of water and cooked it 2 1/2 minutes. I then waited for 2 minutes, stirred it and also added a little milk. It came out perfect. The picture below includes the extra fruit topping I added.

 

OK. Here's my thoughts: the dried blueberries and cranberries are not bits, they are more like chunks, but I really liked it because I can taste fruit and oatmeal at same time. The oatmeal itself had just right amount of sweetness. I though about adding a little sugar but I  want to eat healthier so I thought I better not. The steel cut texture...well, I'm not a big fan of it. I felt small pieces of oatmeal stuck in my teeth and it bothered me. Overall the taste was really good. I just had to try Brown Sugar & Cinnamon too, so I went and got it.

 

 

Brown Sugar & Cinnamon was sweeter than the blueberries one. My teenage son really liked it, but he had to make 2 pouches to satisfied his appetite. I think you will need 2 pouches for an adult serving.

Both of the oatmeals tasted great. My children normally eat Poptarts or cold cereal for busy mornings, but this oatmeal is great way to have a warm breakfast in just 3 minutes.
