The catch

Convenience has a cost here, with up to 240mg of sodium in one small packet and still 4g of added sugar, so it is lower sugar rather than low sugar. (source)

The honest take

This is regular Quaker instant oatmeal with the sweetened flavors dialed back, using a little sugar plus monk fruit extract instead of a heavy sugar load. A packet runs about 110 to 120 calories with 4g of added sugar and 3g of fiber, which is a real step down from the roughly 12g of sugar in the regular flavored packets. It is made from 100 percent whole grain oats with a short ingredient list and no artificial sweeteners, so it works as a fast, warm pantry breakfast. Just know the packets are small and light on protein at 3 to 4g, so most people will want to add nuts, seeds, or milk to stay full.
