Get Active With Oatmeal

July 31st, 2008 by saveyspender

I love oatmeal, mostly because it’s easy to make and has many different flavors. A few months ago after watching the biggest loser I decided to try new oatmeal from Quaker that was suppose to help control weight. Pretty much it had more fiber in it. Always a good thing, but I really didn’t like the flavors.

Last week I finally got to a store besides Walmart, I ended up at Kroger and was introduced to their Active Lifestyle Oatmeal this is a store brand so it’s not as expensive as the Quaker, but still is a very good oatmeal. They have many different flavors, but the ones I picked up were an almond cranberry, maple and walnut and an apple raisin and pecan mix. Now those I can deal with, I love fruit in fact the only problem I have so far with the active oatmeal is that they didn’t have a blueberry mix. I love blueberry’s in oat meal.

Okay on to what it taste like, well honestly it’s not bad, but don’t be expecting yummy good stuff, It’s a healthier food and even though it taste good it’s not going to taste like regular oat meal. That said if you have tried the Quaker brand and liked it, then you will be fine with this brand. As I said before I liked the different flavors and fruit in this oatmeal. The addition of nuts is very nice as it gives you a crunch and that extra health kick.

If your on a low carb diet this would work well for you, it has a ton of fiber the two I have eaten so far have had between 5-7grams and each pack is just under 30 carbs. Overall I have to say this oatmeal is a great way to fill up and fuel up in the morning.
