We can definitely be considered a family on the go, especially in the summer. With two small boys it seems that we are either at the park, at the pool, or even at the store. For as much as we are on the go, however, I am also wanting to make sure that the boys eat well.
When you are out and about, it can be easy to fall into the trap of just eating out. The problem is that not only is this food usually unhealthy, but it gets pricey pretty quickly. This is why we tend to just pack our own lunches when we go out.
The thing is, I tend to struggle with finding foods that are not only easy to pack and take along with us, but are also good for us. I also want things that can hold up in a diaper bag or cooler. A punctured container or smashed bag just won’t work! This is why the new Quaker® Real Medleys® Yogurt Cups are so great.
These yogurt cups are the first shelf-stable convergence of granola, fruit, and yogurt. You purchase the Real Medleys® Yogurt Cups in a single-serve cup with the dry ingredients (which includes multigrain granola, real fruit, and crunchy nuts) and all you have to do is add cold milk. Crunchy. Cool. Yum.
I love that when I know we are going to be out, I can put one of the Real Medleys® in our bag and a small bottle of milk. The best part is that I can just use one of those small bottle coolers that fits easily in the diaper bag instead of one of the big ones. Plus, with 25 grams of whole grain and 10 grams of protein Real Medleys® are satisfying, delicious, and the kids love them — even E, the picky eater!
I love them because not only do they make my life easier, because they are so convenient, but also that the kids are eating a satisfying food that is good for them.
Even when we aren’t on the go, the Real Medleys® make a delicious breakfast. It’s something that I really like as I’m usually running in what feels like a hundred different directions in the mornings. With these, all I need to do is just add cold milk, stir, and eat. With all of the chaos in the mornings I know that Real Medleys® are giving me the fuel I need to get through the morning and won’t leave me hungry in an hour.
Speaking of breakfast, an amazing companion to the yogurt cups is some chocolate zucchini bread. We always have an abundance of zucchini in the summer so this is a perfect way to use them. I got this recipe from my aunt and it quickly has become one of my favorite breakfast breads. It is also pretty easy to make — even for a novice cook such as myself!

Want to try the Quaker® Real Medleys® yogurt cups for yourself? There will be sampling demonstrations going on at select Walmart’s from August 13 through August 16. To find out if your store will be hosting a demonstration check out this list.
This past weekend we were able to check it out and try each of the three flavors! I am still thinking that the Apple Cinnamon is my favorite though.
You can pick up the Quaker® Real Medleys® Yogurt Cups in the cold or prepared cereal section of your nearest Walmart. Keep a few in your pantry, and maybe even one in the diaper bag for those days when you might need to have an extra meal handy!
