S’mores Oatmeal from the Dollar Store
A food adventure
When I eat oatmeal, I picture it chomping the cholesterol in my arteries like Pac-Man. Unrealistic, but it helps me work on healthy eating.
Was I thinking of health when I saw s’mores instant oatmeal at the dollar store? No, I was thinking: can oatmeal replicate s’mores?
It can’t, but it’s tasty. It’s cocoa-flavored. I stirred in more almond milk after cooking and found it warming but not overly sweet.
I’d categorize it like chocolate zucchini cake: kind of good for you, but more like “hey, you could be eating something much worse.”
One complaint: the marshmallows dissolve. I say, leave them out and market it as “hot chocolate oatmeal,” or include mini-marshmallows separately to sprinkle on top.
