Uncle Tobys Traditional Oats

Don't be fooled - save money – I have been eating Uncle Toby's rolled Oats ( sometimes with a topping of fresh or canned fruit and cooked in a microwave for 1 minute 50 seconds) for the best part of my 89 years.

No more chugging a protein shake and feeling like you're drinking wet sand. I can only assume they would be just as effectively converted into oat flour because of this, too.
