Quaker Breakfast Flats are crispy baked snack bars that contain delicious ingredients you can see, like oats, real pieces of fruit, crunchy nuts, flax and sunflower seeds. Breakfast Flats help satisfy hunger, making them a snack that people can feel good about eating. Each serving contains three flats for less than 200 calories per pack and 18 grams of whole grains, offering a good source of fiber (7 grams of total fat per serving) with no artificial flavors or added colors.

"As a working mom, I know how hectic mornings can be," said Lesley Butler, senior marketing director, Quaker Foods North America. "One thing that every woman needs is a convenient snack to help fuel her. At Quaker, we know breakfast, and continue to innovate to meet evolving consumer lifestyles. Quaker Breakfast Flats were designed to address consumer demand for convenient, nutritious snack options that help satisfy hunger."

As a well-known style expert who's familiar with busy mornings, Jamie Chung has partnered with Quaker to help introduce Breakfast Flats as this spring's newest breakfast accessory.

"Feeling confident and comfortable each morning is key, and for me, that means leaving the house with all of my go-to items, including a pair of flats for when I'm inevitably running around town and a nutritious snack for when hunger strikes," said Chung. "I'm excited to partner with Quaker to launch this new breakfast snack that helps power me on even the craziest of days."

To help women put their best foot forward this spring, those who follow Chung and other popular style experts on Instagram may find Quaker Breakfast Flats in the bags of some of this spring's freshest fashionistas.

Quaker Breakfast Flats come in three delicious flavors including Cranberry Almond, Banana Honey Nut and Golden Raisin Cinnamon. Each box of Breakfast Flats contains five portable packs of three crispy bars each with a convenient pull-out tray for a suggested retail price of $3.49.
