Our Family Flips For Quaker Oatmeal Breakfasts #Quakerfuel #review #Spon #foodie fun

As the mother of a competitive gymnast daughter and an active soccer son, I'm in charge of fueling our family.  Oatmeal is one thing we all enjoy eating and Quaker makes it easier than ever to get everyone out the door fast, with a healthy, hot breakfast.  So, we were jazzed to be asked to review some of Quaker Oats' breakfast foods and to partner up for a sponsored post. 

No matter how crazy busy our active schedule gets, we always STOP and fuel up with a great breakfast first.   My 10 year old daughter qualified for state in gymnastics the past 3 years by practicing hard & eating food that gives her strength and endurance.

Quaker Oatmeal is a delicious way to keep us all healthy and strong.   They've raised the bar on quick and tasty breakfasts with their line of Perfect Portions and Soft Baked Bars.   A delicious start to the day helps my kids soar.

As an eco friendly, health conscious mama, I'm happy to see Quaker's left the sugar out of their Perfect Portions Oatmeals.  Their Maple and Cinnamon Oatmeal flavors were yummy without adding a thing but milk.   We also enjoyed their Soft Baked Bars, though they were on the sweet side for our taste.   We did the heat and eat option, but they're also good right out of the package, for on the go snacking fun.   Yum!

Perfect Portions eliminates extra packaging with one easy, resealable packet, so everyone can customize their serving size.  That means less food waste and less paper to recycle.   Quaker Oats breakfasts are nutritious plus delicious, which equals a healthy breakfast I don't have to beg the kids to finish.

 

Early mornings, tough conditioning routines, and sore muscles can be stressful for athletes.   So I make sure they leave the house with the best start possible, a good night's sleep and bellies full of nutritious, tasty breakfast food.

Quaker offers amazing oat-based breakfast products that give families energy for an active day

My kids flip for tasty Quaker Oats.

Did you know that Quaker partners with Major League Soccer (MLS) club The Chicago Fire and Chicago Fire Junior?

The Quaker Invitational is coming up soon, August 9-11.  It will bring together hundreds of Chicago Fire Juniors teams from around the country for a weekend of soccer, community and fun.
