Smart Ones Oatmeal Review and Giveaway!

Sponsored post*

Are mornings as hectic for you as they are for me? Just getting my family up and moving is hard enough, and then there is breakfast... My kids are sleepy and grumpy in the mornings and they get even grumpier when they are not offered a hot breakfast. Since I rarely have time to make them a full egg breakfast, I have been buying frozen sandwiches for them. While they are satisfied, I am not happy with the lack of nutrition. 

Smart Ones now offers frozen oatmeal so I have an alternative to the breakfast sandwiches that actually has some nutritional value! The oatmeal comes in three varieties: Apple & Cinnamon, Maple & Brown Sugar, and Peaches & Cream. They are made with steel-cut and rolled oats, real fruit, and granola - a welcome change from sausage sandwiches! One Smart Ones oatmeal is 4 points if you are following the Weight Watchers diet.

Review:This oatmeal is extremely tasty. I usually add real fruit to my oatmeal so having bits inside of this was a real time saver. The Peaches & Cream was much better than any other packet oatmeal and the chunks of peaches were much larger. I also loved the Apples and Cinnamon oatmeal. There is something about the combination of the two flavors that makes me think of autumn so it was a perfect breakfast for the cooler fall mornings we have been experiencing.  My favorite was the Maple and Brown Sugar - it was a fulfilling breakfast and the brown sugar is a real treat! It was extremely flavorful and I would definitely buy this one again.

These oatmeals were very convenient. They took just as much time to heat up in the microwave as the sandwiches, but there was more nutritional benefit. The fat/carb/sugar content was comparable to the oatmeal that I currently eat; however, there was less sodium which I certainly appreciate. I found that I stayed satiated longer than with other breakfasts I have tried which made me happy. I am not a big eater in the morning so one of these oatmeals along with my green juice I have every morning was perfect for me.
