I was given the opportunity to try Maker Oats with my family. I had never heard of Maker Oats before, and after I read about their line of USDA Organic, NO sugar added , Non-GMO, Vegan, Over Night Oats..... I was excited. We have always been a fan of oatmeal. There's nothing better than a warm bowl of comforting oats.
The Maker Oats have some really attractive packaging. I was pleasantly surprised when I visited their website to learn more about them. You can view their website HERE. I loved their content. And their story! We are always short on time. I know my mornings are HECTIC!! With a soon to be Kindergartner and a High School Sophomore. Our mornings are far from easy. I loved to read about the Maker Oats founders Barry and Jess. They sounded just like people that I could honestly relate to. Upon viewing the Maker Oats website, I loved learning about the overnight process and spectacular information on the nutritional content and quality of their products. The eye pleasing features and artistic images on their website was an added bonus. I could not wait for our boxes to arrive. When they did arrive, we opened up our boxes like it was Christmas morning! And I was SO excited to make them. My kids were equally excited.
Maker Oats are indeed EASY to prepare. I grabbed several mason jars out of my cupboard, and brought them to our kitchen counter. We had our oats ready, some milk and spoons to stir. We received to flavors. Apple Coconut and Mulberry and Chia. We have 4 in our family, so it was an easy decision. We made two of each flavor. We simply poured our oats into our jar, added some milk, stirred and put a cap on our oats. The last step, put in our fridge and get a good nights sleep. The next morning I went straight to the fridge and grabbed my jar. It looked perfect and smelled absolutely divine!! My flavor was the Apple Coconut. I decided to warm mine up in the microwave. But you can totally eat it cold too. You can smell the wonderful spices. Cinnamon with a slight touch of ginger. And apples. It has the delicious slight aroma of homemade apple pie baking in the oven. I ate my jar and was pleasantly filled all morning long til a late lunchtime. My husband took his to work and enjoyed it at his desk. His coworkers are wanting to give it a try next!
Next up was our daughter. She is a finicky eater. And was skeptical at first of the oats. But the whole process intrigued her. She said it was "like a science experiment you could eat". And the next morning, after her over night oats soaked up all the milky goodness, it was "like magic"! It was ready. To our pleasant surprise she ate a good portion of her Apple Coconut jar. She enjoyed it so much, she wanted to make her next batch right then and there. I told her we have to make our oats before bed. Because they are Over Night Oats. And while we sleep, they make their magic.
Next up was our teenage son. He's a football player and a baseball player. And he's growing. So like most teenagers, he eats alot. And is hungry often. With his crazy summer schedule of Junior Life Guarding, Football practice and Summer School. His mornings have been hectic this summer. But enter, Makers Oats into the equation. Touchdown!! It's a GAME CHANGER for him and for us. He can easily eat his breakfast on the run or he can actually sit for a few minutes, because his breakfast, was made over night! He's looking forward to incorporating Maker Oats into his morning program for the school year. As a family, we are all loving the ease, the nutrition, the wonderful taste and the fact that we are no longer skipping the most important meal of the day.
