This oatmeal is yummy! I like to add a spoonful of peanut butter and some cinnamon for extra protein and flavor.

This is the perfect breakfast. I add 1 cup of blueberries and 1/2 plain greek yogurt to boost the protein. I don’t know what I’ll add once blueberries are no longer in season :(

This is great oatmeal. I need the extra protein so I make it with 2/3 cup of milk instead of water. Add a little splenda and cinnamon and it is great and it sticks with you all morning.

I thought this sounded delicious, but when I made it (according to directions) it totally exploded and I had to use up another packet just to have enough for breakfast. Delish taste but a mess!

I like this pretty well, especially mixing raisins or chopped walnuts in along with Splenda. You do have to watch out for an explosion in your microwave!

I was looking for the best, healthiest oatmeal when I saw the Kashi truly vanilla product. It turned out to be perfect! It tastes like oatmeal (to me, at least!), and the flaxseeds add a nice texture component to the mix. Three things I like best:
1. All natural ingredients
2. The perfect amount of sweetness
3. Nutritional balance, ie, high fiber, high protein, low sugar.
I’ve tried a few Kashi products, and I’ve always been pleasently surprised at how good tasting they are, as there’s a general perception about these kinds of products as being a taste compromise. So far, not the case here!

I loved it….I mixed a packet of the Truly Vanilla and the Honey Cinnamon with 1/2 banana and some sliced strawberries…yum!

I love this hot cereal too. I usu. buy the Truly Vanilla and lately have been adding banana to it, but I can eat it without just the same.
The microwave?: Yes, very tricky. I had the overflow experience once. Now I usually can go a full minute without taking it out. I then stir it and set the mike for another 30 seconds but at this time I watch it and stop it when I see it start to rise, I stir it and do it again until the 30 seconds are up. It’s work but it’s worth it. Oh – and I make sure I start with room temperature water. If your water is already hot, of course it will reach the overflow point sooner and your cereal won’t have a chance to truly cook.

i bought the honey cluster one and was wondering is this like oatmeal? is it made the same way? can i use milk instead of water for cooking?

I love oatmeal, Kashi and vanilla flavored foods so I expected this to be a winner for me. I’m just not crazy about this one in particular. I thought the flavor was very bland and only after the addition of cinnamon, some banana and a little brown sugar did this taste okay. I thought it had an almost burnt flavor also (and no, I didn’t overcook it) I didnt really like the texture either (it looks like pure powder right out of the packet) I always make my oatmeal with water so that might be the problem. I’ll try it again with vanilla almond milk and see if that helps any, but I think I’m just going to stick with the other oatmeal flavors.

The Truly Vanilla is trully amazing. I am addicted and have my whole office eating it for breakfat too.

love this cereal

i just love this oatmeal – i added in dried strawberries with vanilla soymilk for an extra kick!

I loved this product, just the right amount of cinnamon flavor!

I mixed this with a tablespoon of peanut butter. Mm-mm.

OverflowingOatmeal: What I did was heat it up halfway through the time, let it sit, stirred it, and then finished heating it.

This one looked pretty appealing when I bought it, and it sounded tasty as well…I love vanilla & Kashi so I expected it to be a winner. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as good as I’d hoped for. It just tasted very bland & processed, and only after adding some vanilla soy milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, and some fruit did it taste OK…yet it still felt like something was missing. I’m usually not an instant-oatmeal person anyway; I prefer to start out with plain rolled oats or oat bran & prepare it accordingly because I think it tastes better that way. So I think I’ll just stick to that for now. But since I still have a whole box left of these, I’m sure I’ll eat them on occasion if I run out of oatmeal or other stuff.

Ok, so apparently the college education didn’t prepare me for Kashi. How the heck do you cook this stuff without it overflowing all over the microwave??? You can’t walk away from the microwave cause it will destroy it! I was away 8 seconds and it was boiling over…after 8 seconds!!!!

This is fantastic when dry-mixed with yogurt and berres

I add a packet of Splenda and some cinnamon to bump up the flavor a bit. This is a really filling cereal that carries me over to lunch time.
