If you have little ones, I’m sure that you know how important snack time is. Surely, you don’t want them eating a lot throughout the day but when snack time does arise, you certainly want to make sure that they’re eating the healthiest of options. We got very lucky with our own children and, more often than not, they happily choose great snacking options such as fruits and vegetables.
However, there are definitely times (on-the-go particularly) when the ease of store-bought items takes precedence. Of course, I don’t want to skip out on the good-for-you aspect so grocery shopping can often be a bit of a big task. With hundreds if not thousands of snacking options readily available, it can be hard (and time consuming) going over all of the labels in an attempt to choose only the best. Recently, I was introduced to a new product that meets all of my momma requirements and certainly exceeded my snack expectations – Quaker Real Medleys Bars.
From our good ol’ friend Quaker, now comes this new twist on traditional granola bars. These Real Medleys Bars are not only your plethora of bits and pieces here and there but, instead, include giant chunks of real greatness. The delightful medley of delicious and unique, real fruit chunks and nut combinations combined within the classic multigrain bar undoubtedly put the Quaker Real Medleys Bars into a category all their own.
I’ve never really been too much of a fan of granola bars and have found most to be bland. Conversely, the Real Medleys Bars have turned me into an avid fan of the product. Additionally, with eight grams of whole grains, less than seven grams of fat, and under 170 calories per bar, the Quaker Real Medleys Bars are a great health conscious choice.
The kids really enjoy having them on hand when we are out and about and I love that, no matter where we are, the children still get to snack on healthy products. Me, on the other hand, well to put it simply, I think they are incredible. See, as a mom who is constantly on-the-go, as much as I assure that my children eat well, I am often forgetting about myself. Skipping breakfast to rush out the door for school drop-off, running around all morning for errands, coming home just in time to make lunch only to have to clean up the kids’ completed meals before I have the chance to sit down myself, and so forth and so on… it’s a never-ending cycle.
Surviving the crazy, almost always hectic, insanely rewarding life of parenthood is surely a challenge that requires incredible balance. That is why Quaker coined the phrase “Meaningful Medleys,” to help us all celebrate all of life’s accomplishments – little and big. Some days, the biggest accomplishment of the day may very well be completing all of your errands without having to pause for a little one’s needed time-out, and that is perfectly okay. According to a recent survey done by Quaker, one in four moms agree that their “Meaningful Medleys” include getting uninterrupted shut eye, crossing everything off of the to-do list with time to spare, and getting in planned exercise (not to be mistaken for running from errand to errand).
Last month, Quaker launched their #MeaningfulMedleys Sweepstakes giving parents the chance to win a Real Medleys Bars gift pack. To help keep ourselves on the go all the time, we parents often rely on quick snack foods to help us refuel. Now, choosing a snack with premium ingredients like the Quaker Real Medleys Bars is certainly a great place to start. These grab-and-go snack bars packed with multigrain and a medley of real fruit and nuts – available in three different flavors – offer a wholesome solution to help fuel all of your “Meaningful Medleys” goals. Whether you opt for Apple Nut Harvest, Cherry Pistachio, or Peach Almond, the Quaker Real Medleys Bars will surely put a good pep in your step and get you on your way towards greatness.
