Quaker Squares, Kid-Tested Thumbs Up

If you’re like me, you probably want to eat healthier, and you might want to make it as simple as possible, and probably, you want some good stats to back your decision. Something like: the soluble fiber in oatmeal helps reduce cholesterol + 96% of your minimum whole-grain needs + no trans fat + just 200 calories with a 1/2 cup of skim milk. Well, I’ve got something for you: Quaker Oatmeal Squares, with a hint of brown sugar. (I don’t actually have them for you, just a recommendation.)

Thanks to Quaker (and Clever Girls Collective, too), this pretty little package arrived today. Younger son Danny (he’s 7) tore right into a box, stating he likes his cereal “naked” — no milk necessary (which, incidentally, saves you 40 calories). First bite had him declaring, “Oh, I like the ones with sugar better.” He didn’t give up, though, and he went in for more. “Nevermind,” he told me. “They are good!” I agree, per the few I tasted. The rest, I’m saving for breakfast tomorrow. Planning for a banana on top.

  • Hi,

    My name is Eliana Feigelstock and I am a current student at Art Center College of Design. I am currently designing a medical device and I chose my direction in breast cancer as I have known a few women who have had it (I will be interviewing them as well). I am hopefully going to design a new product (medical devices for 2016) that will be an at home tool to keep track and shrink the tumor. If you check out my blog I have done several products, this being the first medical project. I am hoping I can ask you questions to receive some feedback (so I can ultimately make my product better and create a satisfied consumer). If you are open to an interview, it can be email based, that would be extremely beneficial to my research. Wishing you strength in journey and a speedy recovery

    Thanks,
    Eliana
