I should've read the labeling better, as I didn't realize it had an artificial sweetener in it. I would've been happy with a less sweet oatmeal that just had less sugar and nothing else added. Not deducting stars, because it's not Quaker's fault I didn't read the ingredients, nor is it their fault that I can taste the Sucralose aftertaste. For those who don't mind Sucralose, this is an excellent lower-sugar alternative to Quaker's regular instant oatmeals.
We eat A LOT of oatmeal in my house, especially me & my two youngest kiddos (3 yrs old & 6 yrs old). I've tried to cut some of our sugar intake, so this is one product I started with.
When Quaker is on sale locally, I try to stock up, but I can't find the lower sugar version in all of the stores around here. Even when I am able to get the lower sugar on sale, this economy size is still a better buy.
This is perfect! No more running out waiting for sales. This is perfect!
This is an awesome deal and I love that there's less sugar in these packs but I wish the variety of flavors was more even; there are way too many packs of Maple & Brown sugar in this box. I would prefer more of the Apples & Cinnamon and Cinnamon & Spice packs.
I've already eaten all of those two and have plenty of Maple & Brown sugar left! LOL. However, it's not too hard to jazz it up with fruit, nuts, or peanut butter so it's all good.
This is a great variety pack of single instant oatmeal packets , these are good for a quick breakfast and are good for you. I have always ordered the Low Sugar variety pack as my husband is watching his glucose intake and these taste no different than the regular as a man he eats one plain one mixed with a flavored one for breakfast. He states they taste great , you can also use these along with a can of original Quaker oats by making one serving of original and mixing with one packet of the flavored from this variety pack for a heartier breakfast. Included are Apple cinnamon , Maple & Brown Sugar, Cinnamon and Plain (original ) flavors. They are lower sugar and also lower in sodium that any other cereals that I can find that my husband will eat that he likes. I have also bought these Variety boxes for my Churches food pantry , they are great for any food pantry or organization. The price is fair and the product is good for your health !
My whole family loves oatmeal, and everyone agrees this is better than almost all market-branded options. I like this lower-sugar version for the obvious reason - less sugar is better, and they're able to do it without sacrificing taste.

I've bought this for 3 years now and eat it 90% of the time for my breakfast. I'm diabetic and this is great. Not a lot to it per package because the contents would fit into a shot glass. Put milk on it....cook it for 53 seconds...add two eggs with it/2 saugage and I'm set. Love it!
I’m always super hungry in the morning and this is great. I kinda love carbs but try to keep levels low but these feel healthy. I mix them with berries as well and it’s super yummy. I eat 4-5 packets in the morning but that’s not the norm for most people. I use milk not water.
My preferred way;
Handful of frozen berries in the microwave for one minute
Crush the berries with the back of a spoon
Add 4-5 (depending on hunger) packets of oatmeal
Add 2% milk
Mix with spoon, turns purply color
Microwave for 1.5mins
Leave in microwave for 3-5mins
(I prefer to let the oats soak and fluff up)
Stir and eat.
Lower sugar is good idea. I did miss the sugar at first, but I got over it about on fourth bowl. I definitely liked well enou to eat entire box in two weeks!
I've never seen lower sugar oatmeal in a store so I'm happy that I can buy through Amazon. They also have great variety of flavors not often found.
These are surprisingly good! They make a quick, satisfying snack that still has a bit of sweetness, but is generally just very flavorful. The individual bags double as a measuring cup for water if you like. I add a bit of of honey to the plain ones, but the cinnamon spice and apple ones are very flavorful on their own. To all of them I add just a splash of milk after cooking, along with a sprinkle of ground flaxseed.
My standard breakfast item. The Maple Brown Sugar flavor of Quaker Oaks lower sugar line is the best! Tons of flavor. I can’t tell it’s missing any sweetness. This big box was a great deal and I wished Amazon would keep them available at a good price. I add some walnut pieces to mine. I also sometimes eat my two packet meal for lunch or dinner too. It’s just yummy and holds me from hunger a long time.
