Quaker Oatmeal Lower Sugar Fruit and Cream

For me, the morning usually starts off with a bowl of oatmeal and since this is a regular occurrence, I make it many different ways and try many different varieties so I don't get bored with it. While shopping at Albertsons supermarket with my mom one day, we spotted a box Quaker's Low Sugar Fruit and Cream. This was the first time I had spotted this variety pack, which included Strawberry and Peach flavored oatmeal, so naturally I wanted to try some! And it was just my luck that they were on sale for 10 for $10!

As soon as we got home, I went to the kitchen to try my new discovery. First up was the strawberry flavor. When I opened the packet of oatmeal, I noticed that the dried fruit pieces mixed in with the oatmeal was quite evident.This went into a bowl along with 2/3 cups of water, which was then microwave for about 90 seconds. When I opened the microwave, a sweet aroma of strawberries filled my entire kitchen. It smelled so good that I actually burnt my tongue from ignoring the heat. And WOW this is probably the best oatmeal I have ever had. I could taste the individual pieces of "strawberries" and even though this oatmeal is "lower sugar" it was still really sweet and creamy - just absolutely perfect. I enjoyed this so much that I also wanted to try the peach variety, but I was so full that I couldn't. However, the next morning, I did try the peach flavor and it was just as good at the strawberry ... just peachy.
