"I've been eating this over a year now and must say it's the best cereal I've ever tried. The taste can't be beat plus it's healthy for you. After eating this I cannot go back to simple oatmeal which was what I was accustomed to before discovering this. It's easy to prepare too and provides a healthy quick breakfast for me in the mornings since I leave for work at 6am. Add milk and place in microwave for 3 minutes and voila you're done. Try it if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed."
