The catch

Each 43 gram packet carries about 9 to 11 grams of added sugar and 160 to 260 milligrams of sodium depending on the flavor, high for something built on plain oats. (source)

The honest take

This is the classic three flavor box of Maple and Brown Sugar, Apples and Cinnamon, and Cinnamon and Spice, and each packet starts with 100 percent whole grain oats and gives you 3 to 4 grams of fiber for about 160 calories. The real catch is that sugar is the second ingredient, so a single packet carries roughly 9 to 11 grams of added sugar, which is a lot for a breakfast that is supposed to be the healthy choice. It is genuinely convenient and free of artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, with no seed oils and only 2 to 2.5 grams of fat. If you want the oats without the sugar hit, plain Quaker instant packets or old fashioned rolled oats give you the same whole grain base and let you sweeten it yourself.
