Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal Reviews

I really enjoy eating this oatmeal for breakfast!  The banana flavor is my favorite!  I have to admit that I frequently add 'a little something' to my oatmeal, so the flavor is not exactly as it would be straight from the package.  I like my oatmeal really creamy, so I usually add a little fat free half 'n' half (Land O' Lakes brand) or Fat Free/ Sugar Free International Delight French Vanilla coffee creamer... and some mornings if I'm in the mood for something sweeter, I add a packet of artificial sweetener.  I don't know if "Weight Control" is exactly an accurate… read full review »

So I'm always trying to watch what I eat and stay fit and healthy for my kids. I try to set a good example for them by doing myself, what I tell them to do. Well, my kids love cereal, and oatmeal is a big staple in our pantry. They love oatmeal on their own accord, I've never pushed it on them, they just asked for it once and have loved it since. But I thought I should probably eat it too. It's suppose to be good in lowering cholesterol, low in sugar etc and it would show my kids that I do eat right. I've never, EVER liked hot cereal though. It always used to make me gag when I was… read full review »

I purchased the Banana Bread flavor and could not get past the smell to even eat it.  Several co-workers commented on how bad it… read full review »

I was a little skeptical about trying Quaker Oatmeal Weight Control because most weight control products are either not that much healthier than the regular product, or lose out on taste. But this oatmeal was pleasantly surprising.  It comes in three delicious flavors of banana bread, cinnamon, and maple and brown sugar and all of them taste just as great as the normal Quaker oatmeal.  I love that they are so easy to make, just about a minute in the microwave and you have a warm healthy breakfast.  The aroma of the banana bread was my favorite, because it smelled just like you… read full review »

I love oatmeal. Always have, always will. My mom used to cook those old fashioned oats for us before school We'd throw on the brown sugar, pour on the milk... wonderful! Then when I was in about 5th grade, this microwavable oatmeal was introduced in the market. It took some getting used to, but I got it down to where I could make it perfectly! Now, my kids won't eat it unless I make it- Grandma doesn't do it right, you see! Still, it has a high sugar content and although it takes great, it's something that concerns me. — Imagine my surprise when I saw the weight control oatmeal. "How… read full review »

I've been eating oatmeal (or porridge, as I call it) my whole life for breakfast.  I'd much rather start of the day with a hot meal than a cold one, and so do my children. — Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal is delicious, all five of my family love it, there's no discernible taste from the original, except that it's low in sugar and high in fiber.  If I have a bowl in the morning, I don't feel the urge to snack mid-morning. — It lends itself well to being mixed with fruit, such as chopped up bannanas, or blueberries, more importantly, my three sons love it… read full review »

So, I was walking up and down the cereal isle trying to find a healthy,affordable,yet weight-friendly breakfast, and I found this brand on sale. I noticed the regular retail price  wasn't that bad even if the product was not on sale. I added it to the cart and brought it home. I tried it for breakfast the next morning and loved it. It has a slight sweetness that is not overbaring. As a few mornings went by and I saw more packs missing from the box than I had used, I questioned my husband about my "puzzle". He said he had tried a pack and "actually liked it". My husband is a picky… read full review »

This oatmeal seems good on the package. It looks healthy, appropriate for those who want to control their weight... but the taste is awful. I picked a Quaker favorite (Brown Sugar) when I first tried this and even that couldn't ward off the look of "eww" that passed over my face when I took a first bite. I tried a second, because my mother always told me to take two bites of EVERYTHING before I decided if I liked it or not. The second bite was no better. Thankfully, the aftertaste only lasted til I guzzled a glass of OJ to wash it away. Needless to say, this was NOT my favorite… read full review »

I'm a big fan of this oatmeal. I was very...cautious...shall we say? about how Weight Control Oatmeal could possibly taste good. But I was pleasantly surprised. I had to buy the Banana Bread flavor first because that was all that was at the store at the time, but more recently, much to my delight, Maple and Brown Sugar is also available. My problem with weight gain has always been portion control, so I am thrilled to know that one pouch (which can be reasonably filling at times) is only 160 calories. Bottom line: they taste good, they're quick, and they have good nutritional value...go for… read full review »

I LOVE banana anything so naturally when I saw this weight control banana nut flavored Quaker oatmeal I was very excited. I couldn't wait to try it. I wish I had. It is disgusting! It certainly does not taste anything like bananas. It certainly does not taste like banana nut bread. UGGH!!!! The artificial sweetner taste is horribly overpowering. The consistancy of this stuff is really weird too. I usually really like oatmeal, but this stuff was like wallpaper paste. I found no redeeming quality in this product at… read full review »

     I have always liked Quaker Oatmeal and decided to give the Weight Control a try. I didn't find anything wrong with the taste, but once again, it's a processed food which we all know has many questionable ingredients that aren't really good for you. I will stick to the 1-minute Quaker Oatmeal which is every bit as good with just a little brown sugar Splenda and milk and much better for me. It's just as easy to prepare and gives me the fiber I need and is very… read full review »

This is another in a long list of "gimmick" foods.  — The best thing is to keep it simple, check out the ingredient label to tell the whole story. — The taste is not all that great.  You can get better fiber in a good apple or real oatmeal. The value is also a consideration.  The only thing that this has going for it is that it's a packaged item that you can carry around.  But again, folks.. It's another PROCESSED item passing for sustenance, —… read full review »
