Organic Spiced Apple + Flax Instant Oatmeal, 11.3 oz (Pack of 6), Gluten Free, Non-GMO

My son developed a pretty severe gluten allergy and we have learned the hard way that not all oatmeal (even if no gluten ingredients are listed) is gluten free. Nature’s Path is has passed my son’s gluten sensitivity test for being gluten free, not triggering a reaction in him at all. But best of all, it passes the flavor test. The oatmeal is obviously very high quality, and this has become the one that he specifically asks for. I love finding things like this that make him feel like he is not missing out when food is missing gluten.

The media could not be loaded.  I have ordered this gluten free oatmeal before but this time I looked at it before adding water because it didnt seem to have as many flax seeds in it as my first order, also while I checking it I saw bugs crawling through it. Who knows those extra flax seed I saw before may have been dead bugs. These are actually moving though, See video above. My wife is sick from this because she didnt check before eating hers. Will never buy again.

The media could not be loaded.  Some people in my family only eat gluten-free. I do it on occasion mixing other brands of oatmeal. But I like how sick this one turns out after quickly adding hot water. I had reasons to give up my sweet flavor. After adding boiling water it only takes a few minutes to be ready to eat. Tastes pretty good. Very healthy.

I don't have a lot of time to futz around. These come in the right size for a serving, and No Sugar!!!I marked the flavor rating as 5 because, well, with no sugar or other additives, all oatmeal is a bit bland. Don't think this gets around that somehow, because it doesn't. I add fresh blueberries, and I figure the fructose is not going to do me too much damage since it's surrounded by good fiber.

I usually love this oatmeal. Ever since being diagnosed with Celiac I have eaten this oatmeal almost every morning. Just recently purchased a case with the "new look" and "same great taste" and it doesn't taste at all the same. I use water and have to use much less with the new batch. It seems to have more sugar and less oats?? Very unfortunate as it is an easy and safe go to for someone without a lot of options.

what's not to like? These are organic oats. That's a plus for me. My husband used to boil water and add it to the oats, I prefer to just put the oats in a bowl, add some cinnamon and agave, ( I don't use sugar and some water). So I made this for hubby, and now he, too , prefers them made this way. Oh and they come in recyclable individual envelopes. I prefer the homestyle, but the original is good, too. The homestyle has a smoother texture.

This oatmeal has a very basic and boring flavor that I don't think anyone would like on its own. However, it can be made to taste good. We add honey or cinnamon with cane sugar and small, diced pieces from a peeled apple to ours, and it's pretty good that way. For those who want it ready to go, this wouldn't be for you. But, for those who want to create your own flavor and/or those who simply have a little time to add toppings/flavor it yourself, this will be good.

I love maple and brown sugar oatmeal and this is a really good one. The flavor is nice but not too sweet. I really like that is has less sugar in it than most brands. That was why I bought this, I love Bakery on Main but they have quite a bit more sugar so I wanted to try something else. This one is worth it and I will keep buying. Don't try the blueberry though, NO blueberry flavor at all! That one is not good, it tasted like eating plain oatmeal.
