I was a little skeptical in purchasing this product, as some other flavored oatmeals I've tried in the past have had a strong artificial flavor to them. That is not the case with this oatmeal. The vanilla and honey flavor is so tasty and natural, I am thinking this could be a healthy solution to my nightly sweet-tooth cravings. There are 140 calories in each packet when made with water. It took approximately 90 seconds in the microwave, and doesn't have the chewy stuck-in-your-teeth-for-hours texture of other oatmeals. I was already a fan of the somewhat nutty taste of McCann's oatmeal; with the added flavor of Madagascar vanilla and honey, this is my new favorite breakfast (and just maybe dessert). I came back to this page on Amazon not just to write this review, but to order more. I have a feeling this box will be empty quickly!
Its not overly sweet and definitely has a natural vanilla taste to it. I like it but its not something I would buy again. There is a weird gritty feeling which could be the little vanilla bean seeds, but its not fun to eat.
The other reason Im giving it 4 stars is because the first bag I pulled out of the box was only half filled. The rest so far have been filled normally.I am sure there are many people that will enjoy the taste of this Irish Oatmeal. There is nothing wrong with it, just not my taste.We bought some oatmeal that was suppose to be instant from Costco and it was from the same company but we had to cook and cook and cook the stuff before it would be edible. Needless to say we returned it to Costco. I really didn't want to spend 20 minutes in the morning cooking oatmeal although the oatmeal itself was really good. I saw this on amazon and thought I'd give it a go. This stuff IS actually instant and took a whole 70 seconds to make in our microwave and it turned out great.like regular oatmeal better. Do not especially care for flavor. McCann plain oatmeal is tastier to me. Okay if you desire more exotic taste.
