A new hot cereal from Quaker Oats Co., a unit of PepsiCo Inc., delivers both the wholesome goodness of oatmeal and the satisfying crunch of multigrain granola clusters. Quaker Warm & Crunchy Granola comes in three flavors: Apple Cinnamon, Cranberry Almond and Honey Almond. Consumers are instructed to pour milk into a bowl, add the cereal packet, stir and microwave for 25 seconds. Each packet contains 190-200 calories, 4g of fiber, 32g of whole grains and 5g of protein. The milk provides additional protein, which contributes to the satiety value of this cereal.
“Warm & Crunchy Granola is such an exciting addition to our portfolio because it shows how Quaker is identifying even more ways to deliver wholesome nourishment through the power of the oat by experimenting with textures -- like crunch -- and delicious flavor combinations that moms want for their families,” says Joe Silverman, marketing director for Quaker Foods North America. The cereal comes in boxes of eight packs and has a suggested retail price of $3.99. There’s also a 30-pack variety box.
