The catch

All 7g of the sugar in a packet is added sugar, which is a lot for something as simple as oatmeal. (source)

The honest take

KIND oatmeal keeps the ingredient list short and recognizable, just oats, real almonds, cane sugar, sea salt, and cinnamon, so there are no seed oils, sugar alcohols, or artificial sweeteners in the mix. One 43g packet gives you 170 calories, 5g of protein, and 4g of fiber, which is fine but not especially filling on its own. The honest catch is that all 7g of sugar is added sugar, so a health minded shopper watching added sugar could do better with a plain unsweetened oat packet and their own toppings. For anyone who wants convenience with a clean label, though, it is an easy pantry pick.
