Instant Protein Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Quaker Instant Protein Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal scores 66/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Quaker Instant Protein Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal lists 8 ingredients, starting with Whole Grain Oats, Sugar, Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate and Natural Flavor. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 66/100 Quaker Instant Protein Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal lands mid-scale — below the typical score in oatmeal & hot cereal, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in oatmeal & hot cereal is Bob's Red Mill Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats at 100/100.
