I went to McDonald's today to try out their new oatmeal and to taste the coffee. Typically, I make my oatmeal at home and same goes for coffee, but in reality know that isn't the case for many people. What I found is that McDonald's breakfast was pretty awesome! I ordered the oatmeal and asked for the fruit packaging on the side...for the coffee I asked them to use non-fat milk and I ordered the small caramel latte.
To my happy surprise, the oatmeal was a great texture (not too lumpy, not too watery...kinda like the 3 bears, it was just right - lol!). I tasted the bit of brown sugar and a little bit of what seemed like cinnamon. As for the fruit, since I don't like raisins or cranberry, I opted to only use the apple chunks. The oatmeal was the best oatmeal I have had in a long time. As a Starbuck's coffee drinker (on occasion), I also think that it is way overcooked or almost burnt! Today, after tasting the McDonald's coffee, it is a fact. The oatmeal is 290 calories, 4.5 grams of fat and 5 grams of protein. If you get it without the light cream and fruit, it is only 190 calories and 2.5 grams of fat. For complete nutrition info, go to mcdonalds.com
Overall, I had a great experience for a McDonald's breakfast and I could see this as a definite option for me looking for a healthy breakfast in the future, especially when I'm on the road. Next, I'm looking forward to trying out their salads!
I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with your assessment or writing skills. Both are superlative and offered enough levity to keep me reading. Thanks Joe!
