Strawberry Cream Protein Oats

I'm a long term overnight oats fan but this is my first plunge into the waters of flavored overnight oats. I will say, these oats taste great. I really like the strawberry flavor and it's great with some granola and greek yogurt in the morning.That said, this is definitely a premium product at a premium. It's up to the individual buyer to decide what overnight oats are worth to them. This is meant to be drank more as like a thick protein shake. I usually eat my overnight oats thicker and eat them with a spoon but I haven't tried altering the directions with this. Not a bad option, definitely worth a try if you're into strawberry cream flavor.

My husband loves oatmeal of any kind and overnight oats are perfect for his super early mornings. He can prepare the oatmeal the night before and it's ready to go when he wakes up in the morning. You get nice, big 1.8 pound tub with a variety of different flavors to choose from. I opted for the Strawberry Cream. I love that these are made with natural ingredients and not with any artificial sweeteners, colors, or flavors. Strawberry can go either way. Sometimes it is sweet and pleasant tasting, other times it is VERY artificial. I didn't find this to be artificial tasting at all. The strawberries are freeze dried and quite large! While they do plump up when liquid is added, they do get a little too mushy for my liking. The flavor is definitely yummy and natural, though! They whey protein does give it a bit of an aftertaste but if you consume it regularly, you are probably used to it. I didn't find it to be off putting, just noticeable.After soaking the oats in unsweetened vanilla almond milk overnight, the end result is still dense and chewy. (the way overnight oats usually are) If you don't like them liquidy, I would recommend cutting back on the amount of liquid that you add. My husband prefers to heat it slightly before eating as it really helps bring out all the natural goodness! With 20 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber per 2 scoop serving, this is a breakfast that is sure to keep you feeling full and satisfied!

Yes this product tastes alright and it does what it is supposed to, makes you breakfast, but even the container tells you that you should be planning head everyday to prep a breakfast in the fridge with this product. Clearly this product was not made for people running a busy daily life with little or no prep time, parents, professionals, etc. Yes, I was able to make this product on the go without any prep work, but it turned out be a watered down version that was honestly gag worthy. I did enjoy mixing a small amount into my yogurt, but for such a big container and being the procrastinator that I am, I'm not sure I will be using the entire container before it goes bad. Moral of my review, if you have time to prepare breakfast and enjoy everyday, to the point you can think about it at least a night in advance, you'll probably love this product. It just simply was not for me and my family.
