It is literally a substitute for a meal. The thickness is thinner than the chocolate pie, but it is a reasonable thickness. Do not you think that oatmeal is more than just alive? I feel like I have a bold feeling ... I can eat comfortably at work. The flavor is cinnamon flavor with moderate flavor. I do not have anything very special. It is 240 calories per one, so it is better to consider buying a dieter, but it is recommended for those who are sick to eat. (It is very safe to eat with a glass of warm milk.) It would be nice if the price is a little cheaper. I'm going to eat it and buy it back!
