CHICAGO , October 8, 2013 (press release) – New Quaker Real Medleys(TM) Bars Deliver Unique Flavor Combinations in a Convenient Snack to Help Moms Fuel Their Busy Day

What are Meaningful Medleys? Coined by The Quaker Oats Company, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, Inc., they are the perfect combination of events leaving you feeling happy and successful. Meaningful Medleys can come in many forms and are unique from mom to mom. For example, according to a recent survey by Quaker, one in four moms agree their Meaningful Medleys include getting uninterrupted shut eye, crossing everything off the to do list with an hour to spare, and getting in planned exercise (not to be mistaken for running from errand to errand).1

To help fuel the personal Meaningful Medleys in their day -- around family, work or personal "me" time -- moms often rely on simple techniques to help refuel, including eating snacks with premium ingredients during the day.

Quaker Oats introduces new Quaker Real Medleys Bars, grab-and-go snack bars packed with multigrains and a medley of real fruit and nuts, resulting in unique texture and flavor combinations that mom can see and taste.

"Inspired by the positive response to Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal+ portable cups, we developed Quaker Real Medleys Bars for moms which also feature unique flavor combinations like cherries and pistachios; apples, cranberries and walnuts; peaches and almonds," said Julie Saliba, Senior Director of Marketing for Quaker Oats. "Loaded with premium ingredients, Quaker Real Medleys Bars offer busy moms a delicious on-the-go snack experience to help fuel their personal Meaningful Medleys."

According to the survey, the top snacks moms choose are fruit (60 percent), nuts (48 percent) and multigrain foods (44 percent) to help provide the fuel they want to take on whatever the day may bring.2 Fortunately for moms, Quaker Real Medleys Bars are made with delicious goodness and combines all three foods into one convenient bar.

Choosing a snack with premium ingredients, like Quaker Real Medleys Bars, can offer mom a wholesome solution to help fuel personal Meaningful Medleys.
