Have You Tried Oat Bran?

Author: Tina | Posted: 11-03-2010 | Category: Trade Ups, Uncategorized

Don’t get me wrong, I love a big bowl of Quaker Old-Fashioned Oats (NuVal score: 57) for breakfast, but sometimes, I need to switch things up in the morning. For a change of place, I tried Hodgson Mill Oat Bran Hot Cereal the other day. It scores a 60 on the NuVal scale, which isn’t a huge trade-up, but it’s still a trade-up in my book!

Oat Bran is very similar to old-fashioned oats, but it is a bit smoother in texture. Nutritionally speaking, a 1/2 cup serving of Hodgson Mill Oat Bran has few calories, but more fiber and protein than Quaker Old-Fashioned Oats.

This morning, I added 1/4 cup Libby’s canned pumpkin (NuVal score: 94) and Dole raisins (NuVal score: 88) to my oat bran.

    I scored 70. However, I noticed a few interesting things during the game when there are two products with the same thing. Reduced fat cheez-its and Giant green bean casserole are both have a score of 23 but apparently you have to rank the casserole higher. Also, healthy choice hearty 7 grain bread and pork tenderloin both score 35, but you have to place pork tenderloin higher. I know it’s just a computer issue on how it ranks things, but just thought I’d mention it. I really like the game! Very informative!

    I scored a 38… but I didn’t even notice that the numbers were listed after each round until the last few rounds. Oops haha that might have been helpful! I eat Old-fashioned Oats every day though and have NEVER tried Oat bran, so this is an exciting contest.

    71 points! It’s sort of hard to distinguish between “bad” and “worse” when it comes to some of those foods (cookies and chips?)! But at least I learned how awesome canned green beans are, which makes me not feel so bad about eating them so often!
