Berries & Cream Peak Oatmeal Packets

The mix-in berries actually taste like real fruit, not the dried-out bits you get in most packets. And with the lower sugar, I don't crash by 10am like I used to, which makes the extra two minutes of stirring worth it.

Ended up having to cook it with a splash of milk instead of all water, and it got that same creamy texture I thought I'd need to make myself. The lower sugar content is noticeable but not in a bad way – it's plenty sweet to satisfy a mid-morning craving without the crash.

The berries actually taste real, not like artificial syrup, and the creaminess holds up even when I add extra hot water. I’m full until lunch now, which never happened with my old packets, and the lower sugar means I don’t crash by 10 a.m.
