Unsweetened Instant Oatmeal

"In the journey to Trader Joe’s Unsweetened Instant Oatmeal our buyers decided that, while “plain,” our Unsweetened Instant Oatmeal should have a bit of flair—which ultimately came in the form of ground flax seeds, chia seeds, quinoa, and ama- ranth. When combined with a base of whole grain oats, the result is a rich, hearty oatmeal that also happens to be gluten free and nutritionally impressive: each 160 calorie, 1.4 ounce packet of oatmeal contains 5 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein. Since Trader Joe’s Unsweetened Instant Oatmeal is, in fact, a ‘blank breakfast canvas’ our customers were clamoring for, you can dress it up to your heart’s desire. Mix in fresh fruit, freeze-dried fruit, honey, agave, co- conut oil, milk, almond butter, peanut butter—you name it. One of our buyers had a stroke of genius and threw in some TJ’s Black Forest Bacon (cooked, of course) and added a drizzle of TJ’s Maple Syrup. Heavenly, she said."
