National Blueberry Month: Better Oats Review and Giveaway

July is National Blueberry Month.  To help my family and followers celebrate, Better Oats sent me a box of their delicious Blueberry Muffin Oatmeal.

Oatmeal has always been a breakfast favorite in our household, especially in the cold winter months.  I always stock up on instant oatmeal and quick oats when it's on sale.

The last time I stocked up I purchased 35 boxes of instant oatmeal and 10 quick oats for the pantry.  

I love oatmeal because it's quick, easy, convenient and healthy.  I also love that is comes in so many different flavors.  Most importantly, my kids love it!

Better Oats comes in 26 different varieties including cinnamon roll, dark chocolate, apples and cinnamon and peaches n' cream. 

Better Oats uses only the finest and most natural ingredients.  100% whole grain oats, real pieces of fruit and thick oats make for a healthy and delicious breakfast or snack anytime of the day.

 My kids and I were both excited to try the Better Oats Blueberry Muffin Oatmeal.  Two days after it arrived it was cold, dreary and rainy which made for the perfect opportunity.  The aroma as it cooked was enough to make your mouth water.  It smelled exactly like freshly baked blueberry muffins.

The sleek box design holds 5 pouches of instant oatmeal that each act as their very own measuring cup. That's right!  I love that I can simply pour the water right in the pouch without getting out a measuring cup!

How did it taste?  One word says it all... DELICIOUS!  It was honestly some of the best instant oatmeal that I have ever tasted.  If I didn't know any better I would honestly think it was homemade.  What did the kids think?  Well, let's just say that they each ate two pouches and I was left with only one.
