Kodiak Protein-Packed Instant Oatmeal Maple & Brown Sugar - 6ct

I do not understand the 5 star reviews. This takes forever to cook, and even when it is cooked, it’s tough and chewy. The flavor is okay, but I just don’t get the hype.

Packed with protein!!

Maybe I got a bad box, because there are several good reviews for this product but everything from the preparation instructions to the taste was way off. Following the instructions on the package did not yield anything close to edible, was way underdone and impossible to choke down. It seemed to me by the cut and texture of the oat that it was more like a quick oat than an instant oat so I tried cooking it the rest of the way on the stove top. While I was able to complete the cooking process this way to provide a good texture(about 5 min), it still did not produce a tasty oatmeal. The oats still tasted undercooked, starchy and flavourless. I have been eating oatmeal for almost 50 years, all different styles and everything from instant to slow cooked on the stovetop and I gotta say this was the most disappointing attempt at such a delicious food I have ever encountered. You might want to look in to that.

I am glad this flavor comes in a pouch/packet now versus the ready cups that were so expensive. I add fresh fruit and I’m good to go.

this stuff is awful. so disappointed. soupy and weird and no flavor at all. and it's expensive too so I was hoping it would be good but it is terrible

I have bought two boxes every week for almost a year because it was amazing! However, for a few weeks now they have been absolutely disgusting. I thought I got a bad box but it's been like this for a few weeks now with several other boxes. I am not sure what they changed and why but definitely will not be buying again.

These oats have a great flavor-- not artificial tasting or taste heavily like protein. I love that it has extra protein which makes this a good filling breakfast. a lot of people complained about the texture. These oats come out weird and dry if you cook them following microwave instructions (doesn't bother me they're still delicious) but I highly recommend following the steeping instructions! The texture is perfect, they come out thick and creamy exactly how oatmeal is supposed to be. these are a 5/5 from me!

Amazing but wish it could be organic

Flavor is good but texture is hard, like it's uncooked. I followed directions and even added more water and let it sit for longer without any luck. Will finish the box cause money but won't buy again. Sad cause their pancakes are yummy

Love this oatmeal super filling, but I think a lot of comments on here forget it has protein so of course it’s going be a little bland. Does taste great tho!

BLAND taste. makes me wanna puke. Awful. It MIGHT be okay if you add a sweetener

Great tasting oatmeal

Tastes really good and is SUPER FILLING. I love a lot of Kodiak products so I’m not surprised but I definitely am happy with this one. I like oatmeal but hate the lack of protein and sustenance it gives me in the morning. I’m full and energized for at least 3 hours after eating this!

Powdery, chewy, and hard. It’s not worth the extra price for “protein” when the powder doesn’t even dissolve or mix in.

Was excited about the additional protein over the other packet brand but like another review said, this tasted chewy. Almost hard Ike it didn’t cook and more milk, stirring or cooking helped. Too much work chewing, ha!

Tastes okay. Tastes kind of salty to me? Very light on sugar which is fine because you can easily adjust to your taste.

The instructions on the packet are to microwave for 30 to 45 seconds. The result was a very chewy, unsatisfactory texture. It's great for people who don't like food. I added a little more milk and microwaved for a total of 2 minutes. It was a lot better but not great . Oatmeal is supposed to have a creamy like texture, not hard and chewy. I added peaches and raspberries . I wanted to like this product - i bought it because of the higher protein content.

Hearty oatmeal as nature intended it to be. Great product, Thank You.

Oatmeal doesn’t get soft after cooking and steeping for a while and tastes like cardboard

This was terrible. I’m use to the maple and brown sugar from Quaker, which is my go to but I thought I’d try this out to get my protein in. So chalky. So dry. The oatmeal does not get soft. It has no flavor. It’s literally protein powder mixed with oatmeal. You’re just paying a premium to have it all together in a little pouch. So gross.
