I discovered these a few months ago and now I eat them for breakfast everyday. The nutrition info is good and so is the taste.

This is my new favorite hot cereal and has a unique hearty

flavor that I've not found in any other. Very satisfying

and not too sweet. Excellent!

NOT instant, as the package says. To be fair, the package does also have, in somewhat smaller and less prominent print, a detailed statement telling the buyer that microwaving/cooking will be necessary. BUT if you just look at the package front, you'll get the impression you can make this like you make instant oatmeal. Not so.

I hate using microwaves, so that was a big turn-off for me.

All that said, the stuff is delicious and definitely warms me up and fills my tummy, keeping me from getting hungry better than most oatmeals do.

The texture is thicker and heartier than regular instant oatmeals, kind of a cross between a light muesli and oatmeal. I make mine, add about 2 ounces of organic skim milk, and I'm good to go. The sweetness is light and wonderful, no overly-sugary yuckiness.

I really like the hearty texture of this multi-grain oatmeal. I wish there was more cinnamon and less honey but that's a personal preference. I'll use my cinnamon grinder! I shorten the cooking time by adding boiling water and then microwaving for 15-20 seconds. This product may come in a packet but it's a great tasting and superior 'instant' oatmeal.

Thank you for stocking this cereal. It has been increasingly difficult to find in the supermarkets so having this cereal mailed on a schedule has been wonderful. This cereal is extremely tasty and healthy. I also like the consistency which is smooth and so different from the wall paper paste consistency of the Quaker Oats hot cereals.

Kashi Brand oatmeal is truly different from many others I've tried. The Go Lean Instant is not an oatmeal with the usual hot oatmeal texture. It's not thick and pasty as many other brands are. It's got a nutty consistency and a thinner base - it doesn't feel like food that's been chewed for you. It wins in both texture & taste categories!

This is a fabulous hot cereal. I eat it almost every morning. Sometimes I'll have a bowl at night too for a healthy snack. It tastes great with water or milk. I also love adding fruit. Bananas are an excellent addition. Very filling too.

I am not a breakfast eater, and not a particular fan of oatmeal. I decided to give this a try as it had a greater amount of protein than most cereals of this nature. It is very lightly sweet (not like Quaker's etc), and a teeney bit chewy texture, which I find I like. I sometimes cube a little apple and throw into the microwave first for 30 seconds, then add the cereal to it to cook. I really, really like this cereal so much so that I have it on 'Subscribe & Save', as it is the best value. Besides which, I don't have to go chasing it down in the grocery stores. Sometimes there, sometimes not. Prices are also much higher in the store, unless it is on sale.

I like eating this Kashi oatmeal and the Quaker Oats one. I like the Kashi one because it is naturally sweetened with honey and cinnamon and not a whole bunch of sugar like the Quaker Oats one tends to be. Also this oatmeal has more of a nutty (or different) flavoring to it over the Quaker Oats. I also noticed that it seems to take just a bit longer for this oatmeal to cook versus the Quaker Oats, but that doesn't bother me.

I have the instant Hot Cereal at least three times a week. I used hot water then place the bowl in the microwave for 25 seconds.
