Need a smoothie refresh for the summer? I’ve got one for you:
It’s cold, creamy, and the texture is like a thick milkshake but made with nutritious ingredients that you’ll likely already find in the pantry.

Have you spotted the new Quaker Oat Beverage yet? It’s got a smooth texture that makes for a great plant-based swap in any recipe – think smoothies, baked goods, cooked into your oats in the morning, or just on its own!
It’s so much easier now to find plant-based and lactose-free options that fit into your lifestyle, no matter what that looks like. I’m all for more ways to eat oats and oat bran benefits. Quaker’s Oat Beverage is specifically made from oat bran and for every 1 cup serving, you’re getting fiber from the oat bran + chicory root, calcium, and vitamin D.
Studies have shown that 3 grams or more of soluble fiber daily from oat bran, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may help reduce the risk of heart disease. Oat Beverage has .75 grams of soluble fiber per 8 oz. serving

And just like that, we’re in the final month of the year! It’s an exciting month, between the rush of the holidays and the anticipation of the new year. It tends to get a little chaotic during this season, so it’s not surprising when some of the more common nutrition concerns I hear now involve maintaining healthy habits during the holidays.

Okay, so this might be by far my favorite way to eat oats besides my go-to classic hot bowl of rolled oats. I know, it’s a bold statement for me to say because anyone who knows me personally knows that NOTHING will ever beat a bowl of hot oats as my favorite breakfast, but all I have to say is wow – these oatmeal flatbreads are a game-changer!

YOU GUYS. Excited does not even begin to describe how I feel about chatting about overnight oats because my love for this easy breakfast (or lunch…been there!) option runs deep. Like throwing back almost 8 years ago when I was a college freshmen who had 8am classes, three out of the five class days a week. Mornings were not my friend at that time, so having a breakfast option ready for me to grab as I (literally) sprinted to class was GAME CHANGING.

My favorite time of the year is here: bring on the holiday decorations and cozy sessions by the fireplace!
We look forward to many things during the holidays and while that may look different for each person, there’s no doubt that food is something we all share in connecting and reminding us of special moments.
Maybe it’s your grandmother’s special breakfast cinnamon rolls or your favorite holiday pastry— there’s bound to be plenty of treats during the season! The biggest question I get around this time of the year is how to maintain a healthy balance in choosing which foods to eat. It’s particularly important to remember that the holidays mean more than just food; spending time with loved ones, relaxing, and just enjoying having the time to stress less – those are important too!
However, one very easy and attainable way to bump up the nutrition around the holidays is to swap out some wholesome ingredients in traditional dishes. Just something small – just one ingredient, or maybe two.
