Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
- Gluten-free
- Non-GMO
- 100% Whole Grain
Oats are a very versatile and healthy food to include in your diet, especially for a quick and nutritious breakfast. Comparing Bob’s Red Mill Oats to the other 2 brands I always eat that are also 100% whole grain, there is quite a difference:
- The oats are fluffier, fuller and have a more delicious taste to them
- 1 gram higher in protein
- Slightly higher in fibre
- Non-GMO
- Gluten-free
The package indicates to microwave for 2 minutes and let sit for 2 minutes. I found that it takes slightly longer to cook - around 3 minutes, but still very quick!
My Opinion
Taste the difference... Although there is not a huge difference in the nutrient composition in the oats from my other brands, it is really in the taste of the oats that you notice a substantial difference. Plus, the fact that they are more naturally grown and also gluten-free - that is where the real difference lies, it’s in the high quality of Bob’s Red Mill oats. 
I always like to fortify my oatmeal breakfast with fruits or nuts. It also adds a little more color, crunch and taste, flavor too! To Bob’s Red Mill Oats I added:
- Pureed pumpkin
- Cinnamon
- Probiotic yogurt
- Pineapple (what I had left)
- 1/2 milk, 1/2 water as liquid component
Another really important benefit of eating gluten-free oats is that gluten free foods may boost your energy levels which is not only really important for participating in any fitness activity (weight traning, running, sports, etc...) but vital as well for any every day activity and one's overall wellness.
