I ordered, first time, a few months back -apple cinnamon and sweet maple flavors- and let them sit in the pantry for a long time. When I finally "got up for trying it", I wanted it every day! Delicious as is!!! But for extra nutrition or flavor variety, I add only ~1/3 cup water max, and supplement with cream, half&half, &/or one of about 10 DiVinci sugar-free syrups (ie banana, pancake syrup) I keep on hand. EXTRA YUM! ...Or I add a few crushed, fresh berries (great use for fruit at the "past prime" stage), &/or extra cinnamon, or broken pecans. ...But, again, these two flavors at least, are delicious as is!

OK, so it's not oatmeal but you know what.. it's pretty darn good for low carb. Face it, if your a low carber, your choices are limited, but if you're in the mood for a hot cereal, this really hits the spot. I like to mix in the Oat fiber 500 for an extra smooth texture and additional volume with no additional added carbs. Also the cereal is already sweetened so all you need is some hot water. I also suggest giving it 1 minute in the microwave to make the texture even smoother, but keep an eye out or it will poof up and overflow.

Excellent! It smells a wee bit pea-like but didn't taste like it. It actually tastes quite good and I didn't feel hungry for at least 5 hours after 2 packets of the cereal with some light soy milk. I sweeten it a bit more with splenda or a small amount of sugar free maple syrup. Glad I tried it despite my skepticism.
