A Backpacker Mag Editors' Choice Award for... Oatmeal?
Yeah, it's quite something, right? In fact, the editor at the time said, "we felt it was like giving an award for fire." Oatmeal is such a staple, it seemed almost odd... until you try it. With an almost 2:1 ratio of oats to quinoa, spices such as turmeric and cardamom, pumpkin seeds, etc., this is anything but your average oatmeal packet.
Why more expensive than other oatmeals?
It truly is a different product—just take a gander at the ingredient list. Most other oatmeals consist mainly of oats and sugar, with some artificial flavoring—as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. With 490 calories and 16g of protein, this is an actual meal that will fuel the start to any day.

This is anything but your typical oatmeal packet, and Backpacker Magazine agreed by awarding our Oatmeal the 2017 Editors' Choice Award. Truly an amazing way to set yourself up for a healthy day!

Delicious and appropriately filling meal to start a day of backpacking. Does not require much water to prepare
It had a weird taste to it.
I grabbed this while at the store to have something more than coffee for breakfast after a quick overnight backpacking trip. I was blown away with the flavor! Just an amazingly well balanced and filling meal. Pair with your favorite coffee for a great starter. Cannot recommend enough.
taste and staying power
It’s to sweet with the coconut sugar, maybe try honey or dates?
