There is no excuse for not eating a well-balance breakfast in the morning but I have a hard time in squeezing a simple bowl of cereal more less a healthy breakfast. Every minute is important to this mom so I find myself grabbing a quick Quaker Breakfast Shake before heading to work every morning.
Drinking a chocolate flavored Quaker Breakfast Shake doesn’t seem very healthy for you but in fact it can give you the wholesome goodness you want for a morning on-the-go. Each Quaker Breakfast Shake contains 8g of whole grain oats, 10g of protein, 6g of fiber, and 200 calories. For me, it ‘s a convenient way to get your day started. Once I put my son on the bus, take an hour or so to write, edit pictures and do some light housework I can grab a bottle and my keys and get to work.
You will love the flavors! Don’t worry about a chalky after taste either. You can find Quaker Breakfast Shake in three flavors: Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla. Personally strawberry is my favorite! Aside from the whole grain oat and fiber, 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 through the use of sweetener sucralose sugar combination. Plus it’s shelf stable so I don’t have to worry about taking valuable refrigerator shelf space every week.
I make sure to bring plenty of snacks like fresh fruit and nuts to add additional health benefits to be diet at work but with my fast-paced lifestyle cutting a few corners can make a huge difference in my work/home schedule. I can grab and go and save time for snuggling with my son before he leaves for school in the morning!

Whether you are a SAHM or work outside the home, how do you balance breakfast and work everyday?
I’m terrible at remembering breakfast for myself which is why I reach for these sometimes, the vanilla is my fave!!
I’m so guilty about not getting breakfast for me. These would make it easier!
Wow, these things are packed with protein and whole grains – essential to keeping you full!
I should pick some of these up to try – i’m always excited to try healthy new on-the-go breakfast ideas. I hate waking up early enough to make something healthy, haha.
Wow, I didn’t even know Quaker had breakfast shakes now, I’ll have to try them.
