Hi Everyone! I'm here today with my first review of the products I ordered from www.myOatmeal.com. The three packs of oatmeal I ordered earlier in the week only took a few days to arrive and came packed tightly in double-thick wrapping so as not to loose or destroy any of the contents. Here's a pic of my new arrival:
You can see that each package came with a printed label of the nutrition information which made it very easy for me log into myfitnesspal. I decided to try out the "lite" version of the company's Dirty Banana flavour first. I should have ordered it w/o any sugar at all because simply by including the brown sugar, it sent my carbs through the roof for the day! Oh well, next time I'll cut it with 1/2 the flavored variety and 1/2 plain oats. One serving is listed on the package as being 40 grams but when I measured this out and saw that it was a very small portion (about 1/3 cup) I opted for an 80 gram serving for breakfast. There was a nice variety of dried cranberries, banana chips, and oats all mixed together and the flavors I had selected were not overpowering at all. Really my only other complaint is that the protein was way too low for my diet so I added 1/4 cup of liquid egg whites (about 4) to the hot water when I mixed it together. This also gives the oatmeal a nice thicker consistency and keeps me full longer. I might instead add a scoop of vanilla whey next time I make it. I would recommend that myOatmeal.com start offering flavored protein add-ons to their list of optional ingredients because I think this would draw-in a lot of bodybuilders and other clean eaters who might otherwise not purchase from them. Here's a pic of my complete breakfast:
Overall on a scale of 1-5 I would rate this product a 4.5. Definitely check out the website and try out one of their customized flavors yourself! Stay tuned, next up I will review the PB&J cupcake flavor. 'Til next time, remember, eat clean to get lean! xo
