GoLean makes me go ugh

I'm a big fan of instant oatmeal. It's quick, easy, and good. For awhile I've been eating the Quaker Weight Control line, which is made with Splenda and has around 6g of fiber. It's also really good, but everyone else around you will think so too. I usually have oatmeal in the office, and with Quaker, everyone knows when I'm eating it. The smell of maple and brown sugar reaches the other end of the office. So I've stopped eating it at the office for awhile.

Instead, I've been trying Kashi's GoLean instant hot cereal. It too has a lot of fiber, along with protein and omega-3. I was a little wary of things by Kashi, because it seems so hit-and-miss with them. But I like the philosophy of their products and I do feel healthier when I eat their stuff. This hot cereal though, did not go down easy. I could barely taste the vanilla, and it wasn't so creamy. I've eaten it twice, but I dread the next time. I still have the rest of the box to finish, so I'll try experimenting with different amounts of water and microwave time. But I'm not sure I'll be enjoying it so much.

Next time I'm in the market, I'm looking for the Quaker guy.
