Even though I love having breakfasts in restaurants during the weekends, making breakfast during the weekdays have always been part of my getting-ready-for-work morning ritual. Okay, by "making", I really mean "microwaving". For more than two weeks, I have been having this Trader Joe's whole grain instant blueberry oatmeal every weekday morning ($3.99 for a box of 8 packs), and every weekends afternoon as snacks. This is the best tasting instant oatmeal I have tried and it tastes like homemade, when microwaved with water according to the direction. I like to add a couple tablespoons of low-fat milk after microwaving and a drizzle of condensed sweetened milk to add more creaminess and taste to it. I like this oatmeal so much because it's really flavorful with oats and whole grain. The blueberries add just a hint of sweetness. This oatmeal is very mild and subtle on sweetness. While I hate all the overly sweetened instant oatmeals out there, I do love to add a drizzle of condensed sweetened milk to this unsweetened Trader Joe's instant oatmeal for texture and for the perfect level of sweetness for myself. For some reason, this instant oat meal is best microwaved with water, not milk. So milk should be added after microwaving and not during.
I have been suffering from acne breakout in recent months and I suspect that it could be due to my lack of fiber in my diet, (of course my work stress too). This is what prompted me to start a daily dose of this oatmeal. Whether having this everyday will help me clear my skin or not, I have yet to see, but I have found that since I have been eating this everyday for about 2 weeks now, my digestive system has been improved and I'm no longer suffering from constipation.
