My kids are big fans of cereal. While I do like a quick an easy breakfast on busy school days, I had been feeling a little guilty for not providing more options, including something hot. Quaker Perfect Portions is a good solution. It comes in two flavors, Cinnamon and Maple, in a convenient resealable pouch. Preparing it is as easy as adding water or milk and microwaving. Since there is no sugar added, it’s ready to be customized to each family member’s liking with fruit, nuts, brown sugar, raisins etc. Plus, I can also customize the serving size. My son might want a large bowl while I know my youngest daughter will only eat a small serving. I love that there’s no waste since it isn’t pre-measured!
My kids ate this oatmeal and enjoyed it, even plain. It does take a little experimenting to get the cooking time and amount of liquid adjusted to make the perfect bowl but once you have it figured out, it’s great!
I may not be a perfect mom, I feel better offering a wholesome, heart-healthy breakfast with two grams of soluble fiber per 45 gram serving. If you’ve felt pressure to be the perfect mom, you aren’t alone! Check out the infograpic below — The Modern Mom: Redefining Perfect:
Need some ideas for fixing up your oatmeal? Think simple or outside the box with culinary-inspired creations like fresh peaches, chopped pecans and orange blossom honey in the Cinnamon oatmeal; or sharp cheddar cheese, bacon crumbles and brown sugar in the Maple oatmeal. I never would have thought to put cheese in my oatmeal but the bacon/cheese/brown sugar combo actually sounds good to me!
Quaker Perfect Portions is available in grocery stores nationwide at a suggested retail price of $2.29 per package. For more information on Quaker Perfect Portions and Quaker’s other offerings, please visit www.QuakerOats.com,http://www.Facebook.com/Quaker or www.Twitter.com/Quaker.
