Kashi Heart to Heart Instant Oatmeal (Golden Brown Maple) Review

Bottom-Line: Not my first choice, but I am willing to give the oatmeal another try, with coupon in hand of course.

Breakfast.  When you keep strange hours like I do-up and out early-eating a nutrition-laden, none-fast-food-restaurant meal can be a challenge, especially when the stomach is grumbling that it wants food!  So I usually eat breakfast once I get to work in the form of a couple of boiled eggs and oatmeal, most likely Quaker.

Recently, whilst shopping at my local Super Target, I gathered up coupons for Kashi Heart to Heart Instant Oatmeal (Golden Brown Maple) at a taste test stand, and decided to give it a try. 

My Viewpoint

I like Kashi Heart to Heart Instant Oatmeal (Golden Brown Maple).  It is not the best instant oatmeal I have eaten, nor is it the worst.  Checking in at 160 calories, 5g of fiber, 2g of fat, 4g of protein, and 33g of carbohydrates per packet, Kashi Heart to Heart Instant Oatmeal (Golden Brown Maple) does make for a filling good-for-you breakfast.

Kashi Heart to Heart Instant Oatmeal (Golden Brown Maple) is made from whole grain rolled oats, a few of the "seven whole grains on a mission" as well as white tea; now that is something you don't see in oatmeal everyday!  Kashi claims that there is nothing artificial in the oatmeal and that it, of course, helps promote a healthy heart as well as lower cholesterol, and promote healthy blood pressure by being low in sodium. 

There is nothing special about the taste of Kashi Heart to Heart Instant Oatmeal (Golden Brown Maple); it taste like oatmeal is supposed to taste with a touch of brown sugar and maple syrup.  The oatmeal goes down smoothly enough and is filling. 

Will I try Kashi Heart to Heart Instant Oatmeal (Golden Brown Maple) again?  All things being equal I do prefer Quaker, but if given another coupon and a sale, the Kashi oatmeal just might find a place in my cart; or perhaps I will not wait for a sale...

Other available flavors include:  Apple Cinnamon, and Raisin Spice.
