This oatmeal is soooo darn good. I look forward to having this oatmeal for breakfast every morning. I love banana nut muffins and this oatmeal reminds me of it. And the protein helps me make my protein goals while enjoying something delicious

i like that it is larger serving than normal packets but this banana nut flavor - make with milk only. have tried oat milk and cow milk. I found prepared with water to be inedible.

i was looking forward to this being good. However, the banana flavor can barely be tasted. just doesn't taste good. The serving size is a good portion. I'm giving this to a friend who likes it.

Banana is my favorite fruit. Flavor never gets old for me, but boy did they mess this up. I can't even taste banana at all. Literally tastes like unflavored oats. Terrible

It’s good. Woulda gave 5 stars but the texture not as smooth as the regular. Not a deal breaker for me though. I added some cut up banana and cooked it with milk instead of water. That adds even more protein to the bowl. Would buy again.

I love oatmeal. Maple Brown Sugar is my favorite. The Banana Nut tastes terrible. It has a sawdust type texture and tastes like burnt bananas and nuts. It's terrible. Yuck!!

probably an acquired taste. personally if I can't find someone to take them they will go in the trash can. taste and the texture is odd. maybe if you like protein powder stuff?

This is the best instant Oat Meal, that I have ever had! It's so good! It has a good flavor and filled with walnuts and bananas. Just add water or milk, microwave and enjoy! I have this on re-order! It's a very good price!

This tastes like chalky cardboard soup. We tried it because it was marked down and didn’t realize this protein-in-everything craze was going on. You’d be better off just mixing some protein powder with regular oatmeal because that’s what this is, except the powder they used tastes like paper.

I have had Quaker Maple and Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal for breakfast every morning of my life since I was two years old. I am now in my twenties. No one is more familiar with or more dedicated to Quaker Maple and Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal than I. Over the years, I have experienced every variation of shelf life, humidity, water/milk ratio, temperature, microwave power, high/low elevation, etc. Recently, (to my ultimate horror) my store was out of my beloved Quaker Maple and Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal, and I foolishly believed that this protein version would be an acceptable alternative. Imagine my dismay: After initially ignoring the warning signs of peculiar smell and disturbing viscosity, I tasted what is best described as chemically-infused cardboard with the texture of sand. I feel betrayed, misled, and deeply sad. The most reliable part of my day was ruined by a cruel imposter. It is chewy, hydrophobic, and acted as a desiccant for my mouth. It is reminiscent of beach sand with only slightly less crunch and is equally difficult to process. The natural sweetness of my dear Quaker Maple and Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal has been replaced by an artificial, chemical taste. For the first time in my life, I was unable to finish eating a bowl of oatmeal. I asked members of my family to help me finish the box, but none had the intestinal fortitude. I have been plunged into a vortex of despair over this experience, but I am even more devastated at this betrayal by a brand I have cherished since before I can remember. If this review prevents even one person from suffering my fate, then it will have been worth my effort.
