I LOVE oatmeal so I was excited at the opportunity to sample a selection of Better Oats instant oatmeal and create a recipe. As I enter the pre-school years and realize that I am now responsible for getting three people ready and out the door in the morning, I was intrigued by Better Oats which promises quick instant oatmeal in tasty flavors while still offering 100% whole grain, added flax seeds, real fruit and all the other health benefits of whole oats.
This white chocolate & dried cranberry oatmeal combination is another one of my homemade energy bar favorites and as with the other flavors, you won't even notice that the healthy snack bars are full of wholesome goodness {whole wheat, wheat germ, oatmeal, flax seed and Greek yogurt!}.
These bars are a cross between a granola bar, muffin and energy bar. They are a nutrient-dense snack but they satisfy a cookie and overall sweet tooth craving.
With or without silly faces, these fruit and spinach smoothies make a quick, healthy and kid-pleasing breakfast, snack or dessert.
This pumpkin pie-spiced granola makes the perfect seasonal granola for autumn but it is appropriate all year long because the pumpkin flavor is not overpowering.
Top your yogurt with this nutrient-packed granola baked with applesauce instead of oil for a healthy and filling meal or snack.
A cross between a bar cookie and a muffin, these pumpkin oat bars make a simple and quick breakfast, after-school snack or dessert and they are an easy way to ensure that your family gets protein, omega 3's, and whole grains that will give them enough energy for school, play or trick or treating.
