Kashi Heart to Heart Instant Oatmeal Review

Rating:

quaker oatmeal It's no secret that I am a big fan of the Kashi company, and most of their products. I signed up for their newsletter - that's how much of a fan I am, and I got some coupons in the mail. So it was only a matter of time before I tried out some of the new products that they had come out with recently. I chose the Heart to Heart Raisin Spice Instant Oatmeal. Oatmeal is one of those things that I hated as a child, but now that I'm older (and wiser?) I find that I can tolerate it, and some variations actually taste 'decent.' I can't even bring myself to really say I like oatmeal, yet. So Kashi had a bit of an uphill batttle with me, but I must say they were up to the challenge.

This oatmeal was 'okay' maybe even good, but really nothing spectacular. It was just like regular oatmeal. Unfortunately, they may need to add some more spice to their 'Raisin and Spice' flavor, because it really didn't have much in there. It was sweet though, so maybe the spice they are referring to is sugar?! I don't know. There were about 5 raisins in it. I know this because they were some big fat raisins. It was like eating oatmeal and then having a raisin or two on the side. They really didn't integrate the two very well. If I were going off taste alone, I would have to stick with Quaker Instant Oatmeal, but they have been around for much longer thoguh, so they have had plenty of practice to get their formulation perfect.

What Kashi lacks in 'spice' they make up for in nutrition. Not only do they give you quite a few vitamins and minerals, but they give it to you at 100% - none of that 15-25% like that other oatmeal. Heart to Heart has 150 calories, only 100 mg sodium, 2 grams fat, 4 grams fiber and 16 grams sugar. Healthy for the heart and a lot of other parts of you too. They are a little pricey, at around $3.50 for a pack of 4.
