Bob's Red Mill Protein Oats, 32 oz (907 g)

I love the product but the husks throw the whole thing off. It's in the regular rolled oats too! Was hoping it wouldn't be in the protein ones so I tried... but... they're just as much there. Picking them out before I make them every time is not going to work for me. This should be done in the factory especially for the price. I'll stick to my cheaper brand with no husks.

I am so happy we are not the only ones pulling many many Oat Hulls out of every single bite. I think my husband is annoyed with the all the texts I send daily saying how much I dislike these oats. This brand is typically a good ones, however, these protein oats have just been horrible. It is at the point where they are almost inedible because every single bite has hulls that just make it taste like you are chewing on plastic...

Terrible. Doesn't cook like regular oatmeal. Gave me stomach cramps.

My family loves these Protein Oats! They are very creamy. I had to learn how to cook them, and they take a bit longer to cook than regular oats, but the extra few minutes are worth it. They taste good too.

Bought these for an attempted protein boost for my breakfast, but I will be going back to the regular steel cut oats. There are so many husks in these they are very unpleasant to eat!

I like the oatmeal mostly, but Way Too Many Hulls!

Was so excited to find oats that are higher in protein, without extra additives! Unfortunately, there are so many inedible husks that I really can’t eat these oats. It’s very unpleasant! Tonight I tried them for the second time. I made 1 serving, which is 1/3 cup oats. Look at how many husks I pulled out. Very disappointed in the quality of these oats and sorry I paid extra for this variety.

I love the taste of these and that they add extra protein to my diet, BUT there are so many husks it makes it somewhat unpleasant to eat. Before I cook them I sift through to get as many out as I can, and probably remove 20. Then while eating I probably remove another 20.

Absolutely delicious! And so healthy and natural! I don’t understand how anyone could give the protein oatmeal a bad rating. I make the highest serving and reheat everyday until a new batch needs to be made. I add ground flaxseed while cooking. I also use sugar free natural applesauce on top to sweeten my oatmeal and a little bit of grass fed milk. Beautiful!

I used an instant pot to cook this for 5 min on high with quick release. Happy with the taste, texture and the nutritional content. I do prefer my oatmeal to have more texture that average, so perhaps some of the less positive reviews prefer less).

Wanted to love but there are soo many husks, every single bite. Half of the product is husks! Spent a lot of money on these so it's very disappointing.

I’m buying my second bag—excited to find a way to boost the protein on my overnight oats. Love that there’s no added protein powder like other brands.

I bought this a few days ago because I liked the 10g of protein listed on the package. Eating this was another story. I had chaff in every bite and ended up pouring 4 servings down the drain. These oats are not up to the standards Mr. Moore would have expected. I’m disappointed. Returning the rest of the oats for a refund. Please fix the chaff problem and soon.

I eat this almost every morning. I like its taste, nutritional content, and the simplicity of the product (one ingredient, oats!). I wish it were available in a larger size.

I eat a lot of oats (typically store brand rolled oats) and decided to splurge on these protein oats because I wanted to see if they'd keep me fuller longer. I also liked the idea that they didn't contain protein powder. While they cook up fine and taste good, the amount of hulls I've found is very off-putting. After finding several in the first bowl, I decided to try and remove as many as possible before microwaving the second bowl. So, after adding the water, I looked for hulls floating on the surface and removed all the ones I could find (see photo). Unfortunately, I still found more while eating. I saw an article on your website (https://www.bobsredmill.com/articles/how-do-bobs-red-mill-protein-oats-compare-to-regular-oats) that said this variety of oats shed their hulls themselves, allowing this step of the production process to be skipped. Either this step shouldn't be skipped, or these aren't really the correct strain of oats. Either way, I'm disappointed in the quality control and don't think I'll purchase these again, unfortunately.

I love that this is simply oats that have more protein. They are very tasty. The problem is that the amount of husks that show up is off the charts. I’ve gone through a lot of oats in the last several years and RARELY encountered a husk. This oatmeal I find 1-5 in every bowl! I will finish what I have but will think twice before getting more.

I just found these in the store and enjoyed hem for breakfast this morning! I was looking for more information about using them in recipes. The general cooking instructions are not the same as regular Old Fashioned Oats. Can they be substituted one for one in other recipes like cookies?

This may be the first time I've ever felt the need to leave a food review. I love the regular oats from this brand and the gluten free is great also. However, these protein oats are terrible. The oats having almost a paper casing around them. I was literally picking papery textured pieces out of my teeth.

Nice way to make oats a little more filling! I like that there is nothing added to these oats to make them more protein dense, unlike some other brands.

I love using these for overnight oats or cooked (boil water, toss in oats and turn off heat. Cover and let sit until water is absorbed). They are a good base for a variety of combos (apple/raisin/walnut/cinnamon; mashed pumpkin/walnuts/chopped dates/pumpkin pie spice; dried blueberries/chia seed/hemp seed/maple sugar and many more).
