A Review of Bob’s Red Mill’s Organic Cranberry-Orange Oatmeal

Posted on October 10, 2017 by The VRG Blog Editor

Oatmeal cup
By Brigette Dumais

Bob’s Red Mill company is offering an instant organic oatmeal cup. I tried the Cranberry-Orange flavor for breakfast and it was quite a treat! All you have to do is pour boiling water in the cup, stir, wait for two minutes, and you have a delightful and filling breakfast or snack ready to go without creating dishes for you to clean up afterwards. The oatmeal cup contains more than just oats; it has chunks of almond, cranberry, and orange mixed in, as well as flax and chia. This provides a variety in the texture and adds an extra tangy flavor to the oatmeal. Bob’s Red Mill instant organic oatmeal cup satisfies the taste buds and the tummy. I’m very excited to try their other flavors which include Apple-Cinnamon, Blueberry-Hazelnut, Brown Sugar-Maple, and classic plain oats.

HERE’S ANOTHER WINNER OF THE VEGETARIAN RESOURCE GROUP 2017 VIDEO CONTEST

Posted on October 03, 2017 by The VRG Blog Editor

Rachel Massey stated,

“I am interested in vegetarianism because it is a healthy, animal friendly, and exciting diet. I have always had issues with eating meat, and ever since I switched 5 years ago, I have been very content with my diet. I’ve been able to convince some friend to become vegetarian, and now I want to make a video to try to inform more people about vegetarianism.” See:
