Looking for a convenient breakfast option?
Convenience is key. There is a reason why that is a popular statement. We live our lives in such a rush, loading it with many projects and tasks, we hardly ever slow down. Sometimes we have very little time to provide our body with the fuel it needs, especially in the hectic mornings.
I don’t know about you, but I barely leave myself enough time in the morning to get up, get dressed and get out the door! Mornings are a little crazy for me, and often times I skip breakfast. {Shame on me}
But it’s not necessary for me to skip the most important meal of the day, there is a solution for a satisfying morning treat, and doesn’t take additional time out of my crucial shut-eye minutes. {I take sleep very seriously!}
Ever heard of Quaker Breakfast Shakes?
Neither had I!
I’ve been eating Quaker oatmeal for years and years, but never heard of their beverage breakfast option. That’s because it is fairly new!
Who knew you could get an even faster pick-me-up than oatmeal? Well you can, just grab your breakfast shake out of the fridge, and you’re done – breakfast on-the-go!
I tested the Strawberry and Chocolate Quaker Shakes – both smooth, creamy and delicious. The only other additional flavor, Vanilla, is on my shopping list to try next( $2.00 off Quaker Breakfast Shakes !) The Vanilla flavor might be a good one to experiment with too. I can see it going well in recipes for a touch of creamy sweetness plus added fiber and whole grains.
That’s right! Not only are these breakfast shakes from Quaker smooth and tasty, they are also filled with much needed benefits to help get your day started. Each 11.1-fluid-ounce bottle contains 8 grams of whole grain oats, 10 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber and 200 calories.
The protein comes primarily from milk protein isolate. The fiber comes from a combination of whole oat flour, polydextrose and hydrocolloids. Calories are kept low by the high-intensity sweetener sucralose, in combination with sugar.
I find that the Quaker Oatmeal shakes really help me reach my fiber goals for the day. Typically my fiber intake is lower than it should be for good digestive health. I find it hard for me to get enough fiber, but starting my day with a whopping 6 grams is an awesome start!
With the high fiber content and whole grains packed into this creamy breakfast shake, I feel full and satisfied. Typically when I skip breakfast or just have something small, I am usually starving in a few hours. When I drank the breakfast shakes in the morning I ended up snacking a lot less or not at all through the day.
This was a added benefit! Less wasted calories throughout the day!
Today’s fast-paced lifestyle forces many of us to skip breakfast—the most important meal of the day. Bad call. But with Quaker’s Breakfast Shakes, I was satisfied by the taste, found myself snacking less, was more full and got a large portion of my daily fiber from just this shake alone!
