I begin each morning at 4 a.m. so I can prepare a delicious healthy meal for my family. Part of that healthy meal includes Quaker Oats Old-Fashioned Oatmeal which I’ve been eating since I was a toddler. It was only right to introduce Oatmeal to my kids. With so many to choose from it keeps breakfast exciting and we like to create different recipes. From high fiber instant oatmeal cinnamon swirl, maple and brown to instant quaker oatmeal cups apples & cinnamon which is great on the go, and the real medleys oatmeal blueberry hazelnut, summer berry, and peach almond. These all are amazing. Also who doesn’t love oatmeal raisin cookies? We also like to add fresh fruit to our oatmeal. When I say Off You Go to my kids I know they’re bellies are full in a good way.
Quaker® believes that everyone should begin each morning prepared for everything that lies ahead. That’s why as part of the company’s new “Off You Go” campaign, the Quaker Oats Company is giving away up to one million bowls of oatmeal starting on National Oatmeal Day to help provide people across the country with the best starts to their days.

Five Little Words 
Every morning Andre gets breakfast. Depending on how much time I have before leaving for work he may get oatmeal or eggs. Something hearty!
Oatmeal really is filling and that should hold kids till lunch. Glad he’s getting his oatmeal intake. Thanks for comment and entering giveaway. Good luck Denise!!
Each morning, I must wake up an hour ahead to cook a hearty breakfast for my daughter since she absolutely hates eating at school. Her typical breakfast is eggs & potatoes. I however, love different flavored oatmeal.
My kids aren’t fans of school lunch either. I love cooking meals for them. Eggs and potatoes are good too. So many flavors to choose from. Good luck Shirley!
We have hot oatmeal and fruit this time of year, in the warmer weather we grab oatmeal bars & oj. On the weekends we are big fans of waffles!
Love all of the above too. Thanks for entering. Good luck Jane!!
I love to set up baked oatmeal or crockpot steel oats the night before–makes morning a whole lot easier. Otherwise, my kids eat crackers, fruit & cheese–thank goodness lunch in school is really good!
Yeah my crockpot is great for breakfast especially oatmeal. Good luck Jessica!!

Thank you!! We had oatmeal for breakfast today!
We had the pumpkin spice oatmeal. Sooo good.
Pumpkin spice does sound so good! Oatmeal is the ONLY THING that holds me over. SO SATISFYING AND SO GOOD FOR YOU!! I never tire of it.
Agree!!
We prepare by pre-making snacks to eat throughout the day and trying to get in a good breakfast before we head out! 🙂
Prepping ahead is always great. Thanks for entering Krista.
when my nieces stay over i make sure they have all there clothes ready and bags packed the night before that way we can enjoy waflles or pancakes in the morning with some fruit.
We love waffles too. I iron the school clothes for the whole week. Good luck Lauren!

Every morning I drink coffee and listen to Christian music… And very so often I will treat myself and cook fresh apples with my oatmeal!
Fresh apples with oatmeal is good. Thanks for entering Chickie. Good luck!
Honestly, we don’t really have a breakfast routine and we should start doing this. The girls will eat lunch at school, they miss breakfast as they don’t really have the time to make anything. Maybe I need to change this.

It makes a big difference health wise and in keeping them positive with a fresh healthy breakfast. Maybe prepare the night before or get a crockpot like me and have it ready for them. Thanks for entering. Good luck Vixen Varsity !!
This is so good! Would love to win! On school days I try my best to prepare by getting a head start before the kiddos get up because rushing in the mornings is never a good thing in my home (but it still happens to often). I’m working on it. And a good breakfast helps! Love giving the kiddos oatmeal and I can always add other healthy things in it like nuts and flax. Thanks for the chance to win!
Yes I do not like rushing that’s why I get up so early. Yes I agree with a good hearty breakfast. Oatmeal rocks! Good luck Monica and thanks for entering!
By having a protein filled breakfast that includes fruit
Great! Thanks for entering Tonya!
Every morning my oldest either eats at home or grabs something on the way- she is very picky and doesn’t like many on the go breakfasts, but she loves oatmeal with brown sugar! I do want to to try the crockpot oatmeal too!
As long as she loves oatmeal it’s all good. The crockpot oatmeal will be trending. Lol. Good luck and thanks for entering Nicole!!
we prepare everything the night before

Everyone tend to get themselves ready for school by themselves, but they have to eat some sort of breakfast before they go. They choose granola bars or protein bars as a quick breakfast.
Thank you for entering. Good luck Laura!
I am trying to get my kids into the habit of drinking a tall glass of water every morning right when they get up, but they don’t do it. They do eat a good breakfast every morning.

I always have to make sure before bedtime that school lunches are packed, homework is all complete and in the backpack, and that clothes for the next day are set out. It saves so much time and stress in the mornings.
Yes that does save a lot of time. What do your family like eating for breakfast Jenny?
My husband and I try to eat a protein rich breakfast so oatmeal or Kashi cereals. My stepdaughter has her phases where she will want a granola bar or bagel. When I first met her she loved the Quaker Dinosaur Egg oatmeal.
Nice. Wait what now? Dinosaur egg oatmeal? Ok gotta google
This. Good luck Jenny.

There’s oatmeal on the go that you can take with you for a satisfying, healthy breakfast. Good luck Ben. Make sure you’re subscribed to my blog.
Mornings are rushed here with 2 small ones to get off to school. The younger ones eat breakfast after the school kids are gone. Usually the school age children get breakfast at school. Weekends are more leisurely with breakfast.
I can only imagine. Good to know your weekends are fun with family and breakfast. Thanks for entering. Make sure you’re subscribed to my blog Madonna and good luck!

We start every day with a simple routine that includes breakfast. The kids are used to it and have it down to a T. It can be difficult to find a breakfast food that they both enjoy, but oatmeal makes it easy. They both enjoy it. My daughter likes hers with fruit. My son enjoys his with cinnamon and maple syrup.
Glad they are both enjoying it. There’s so much you can do with it. Thanks for entering. Good luck Rebecca.
I start my day with a hearty breakfast then workout at the gym for a few hours. Oatmeal is part of my breakfast.

I’m really bad at waking up in the morning, so if I’m not running late I actually make my son the one minute oatmeal and mix it with pieces of his favorite fruit (bananas, grapes, or strawberries). I know he’ll be good until lunch so it makes me feel good when I can do it for him. 🙂
That’s good. At least he’s getting oatmeal to hold him till lunch. Good luck Tanisha.
We always try to make sure we eat breakfast! Even if it’s not always the best kind!
