June Lunch Box Woes and Quaker Chewy Super Grains Granola Bars to the Rescue!

June 3, 2016 by Deanna Tousignant 5 Comments

I am SO done with packing school lunches. So. Done. It’s June. We’ve got about sixteen school days left until the end of the year and depending on the day of the week I am wavering between “I can’t wait for summer vacation to start”, to “Oh crap, the school year is almost over, I don’t think I’m ready for summer yet.” I look forward to having my girls home with me all summer, yet part of me dreads having them home every day for two months and wonders how I am going to get any work done. Ever.

Sick and tired of making school lunches.

The one part I am 100% done with and will be happy to not have to deal with again until next September is packing lunches. I am all out of clever lunch time ideas. Finding lunch options the kids and I can agree on is tiresome. They change their minds on what they like all the time. One week they tell me they want to only ever eat square salami sandwiches, for the rest of forever, the next week they tell me salami is disgusting and they never want to see it again.

Quaker knows packing lunches is a tiring affair. It’s not easy to find choices that both parents and kids can agree on. Quaker Chewy Super Grains granola bars are here to end lunch box debates with a delicious snack you can both feel good about.

The new Quaker Chewy Super Grains granola bars are something both my kids and I can agree on. They are one of the few snacks my kids never get sick of. My children keep asking me to buy more, happily stuffing them in their lunch sacks each day, and begging me to let them have another for their after school snack.

Quakers New Chewy Super Grains granola bars in Chocolate & Honey varieties.
Quaker Chewy Super Grains granola bars are available in 2 delicious flavours — Oats & Chocolate and Oats & Honey.
You’ll love them for the nutrition,
your kids will love them for the taste.

Not only are these a favourite with my kids, but they are a snack I feel good about giving to them. Quaker Chewy Super Grains granola bars are delicious AND a source of fibre. Plus they are totally peanut free, and made in a peanut free facility, so I don’t have to worry about sending them off to my daughter’s “no nuts zone” classroom.

They taste great. (Seriously, they are yummy. I find myself snacking on them frequently. They are sweet but not too sweet and they have a unique consistency for a granola bar, which almost reminds me of a rice krispie square.) They also contain super grains such as whole grain oats, quinoa, sorghum and barley, all mixed up together to deliver 5 g of protein and 2 g of fibre in each bar.

Kids love Quaker Super Grains in their school lunches.

Am I the only one ready to set aside lunch bag packing until September? What do you and your kids argue about when it comes to packing lunches? What school snacks do you and your kids agree on? Have you tried the new Quaker Chewy Super Grain granola bars yet?

    These look like yummy bars. Great to have in my car, for snack attacks! I have missed the past month of your posts. For some reason, they have no been showing up in my bloglovin’ feed. I will have to look here more often 🙂

      I recently moved my blog over to WordPress. A bunch of techy backends things changed, and that may be why I’m not showing up in bloglovin’. Thanks for mentioning it, I’ll have to go take a peek and see if I can figure out why,
