What brand of oatmeal you buy ?

Oatmeal is oatmeal. I would make sure you buy the old fashioned oatmeals versus the instant. I believe the nutritional content is a bit higher.

ok thanks for posting :)
 
cheapest in bulk
instant
steel cut
it doesnt matter
if you plan on using it in shakes i suggest instant and either a blender or coffee grinder, before you add the oatmeal to a shake.
 
thanks for all the comments guys :)


in summary we can say that all the brands are the same jeje :)
 
McCann's Irish Oatmeal (Steel Cut Oats)

Steel-Cut Oats are whole grain groats (the inner portion of the oat kernel) which have been cut into only two or three pieces. Rolled oats are flake oats that have been steamed, rolled, re-steamed and toasted. Due to all of this additional processing they have lost some of their natural taste, goodness and texture.

Personally I like the flavored instant packets but if I decide to go with the regular kind McCann's is really good.
 
I wish they sold 'instant' in those cardboard cylinders. When not cooking the oats, I consider instant to be much more editable. But it can be expensive compared to the big things of oats.
 
I personally like the instant, because it has variety in flavour and it tastes good majority of the time. I know for a fact the quaker oatmeal is more nutrional, but instant is more conveniant. I usually have 4 packets of that stuff when I eat, along with 8-12oz., of milk to drink with it. Really, though oatmeal is oatmeal. Instant or not, your personal preference in the grand scheme of things...
 
I just go to my local health food store (Vitamin Cottage) and buy a huge bag of the whole rolled oats. Costs me under $2 each time. Good stuff...

My ranking:
1. Peaches and Cream
2. Wild Berry
3. Maple and Brown Sugar
4. Apples and Cinnamon

I thought I was the only one that ate this stuff :D
 
Funny that you guys are on the subject of oatmeal. I just stocked up today.

I buy the store brand instant oatmeal. Maple and brown sugar. It's cheap, and it tastes good in my shakes. I use 2 packets in each shake.
