Sure, you could open a packet of instant oatmeal - but once you've tasted this 'fresh take' on an outdoor staple, you will never go back. Your conscience will approve of your fragrant, hearty, healthy choice (and your taste buds will love all the decadent add-ons...)

PRO TIP #1: X-Cups, X-Mugs and X-Bowls have graded measurements molded into the inside surfaces. Delta Spoons are exactly 1 tablespoon.

1 cup/250ml = 1 X-Cup	1 tbsp/15ml = 1 Delta Spoon
2 cups/500ml = 1 X-Mug	3 tsp = 1 Delta Spoon
