Kodiak Cakes vs Powerful Oatmeal.
I'm finding it so hard to find a food that is high in protein that tastes good. Yesterday morning I had Kodiak Cakes Chocolate Chip Oatmeal and this morning I'm having Powerful Oatmeal Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal. Comparing the two would be simple.
Kodiak Cakes does not cook like you would expect oatmeal to cook. The oats don't expand or anything, it stays pretty much how it looks when you open the package. However, with the chocolate chip flavor, the chocolate chips seem to become more chocolatey.
Powerful Oatmeal cooks like you would expect oatmeal to cook. However, upon opening the container, there were not oats as I was expecting but powder. This thickened up nice into a thick oatmeal consistency.
I used milk to make Kodiak Cakes oatmeal and, though I was wary after the way it cooked (and I even cooked it a little long due to it not thickening), it was delicious! I ate the whole thing and was truly disappointed when it was gone. It was satisfying and surprisingly tasty. Nice strong chocolatey taste that even the oats seemed to compliment.
Powerful Oatmeal requires water to make it. I was excited to try this and was sadly disappointed. The flavor was bland, it was dry, and I didn't even finish it. The occasional apple chunks were nice, I will give them that.
The price of the two at walmart was close. Kodiak Cakes was $1.87 for a 2.12 oz container and I got the Powerful Oatmeal for about $1.50 for a 2.3 oz container
The Powerful Oatmeal did have more Protein though. With 20g compared to the 14g the Kodiak Cakes had.
Overall, I will buy Kodiak Cakes again. I look forward to trying other flavors and definitely getting the Chocolate Chip flavor again.
