I tried out a new product made my MyOatmeal.com. They let you create your own customized blends of oatmeal with a variety of ingredients. I'm a big oatmeal eater and I usually prep mine the same way each time - banana, sweetener, sometimes cinnamon. With their customization I can have everything already added, eliminating the need to have those things on hand.

The two different mixes that I got. On the left is:
Quick rolled oats
apples
banana chips
Chia seeds
Stevia
On the right is:
5 grain rolled oats & flax
Maple & brown sugar
Banana chips
Splenda
This is the Quick rolled oats cooking. You can see the dried apple and banana chips really absorb the water when cooking. They aren't just hard chunks in the bowl. It's like chewing the fresh fruit. That was a big hit with me.
Here is the cooked 5 Grain oats & flax, ready to eat.
The flavor was everything I expected. I could taste everything I added in. The fruits were nice and chewy. Overall, I liked the product. When you factor in the cost of buying your separate fruits, flavors and sweeteners I consider it to be reasonably priced. These are actually my 2nd & 3rd bags. I tried the steel cut with chia seeds and Stevia before they had gotten the Stevia balance right. I didn't like the extra time steel cut oats take to prepare, but that's not a knock against the product itself. I will definitely buy again.
