Seneca Farms Oatmeal & Fruit – Review & Giveaway (Now Closed)

We recently had the opportunity to taste Seneca Farms Oatmeal and Fruit, which just launched in April & let me tell you, it’s yummy! I’ve been an oatmeal lover for ages and I’ve tasted all sorts of brands and different cuts of oats. Seneca Farms is a perfect mix of oatmeal and fruit. Absolutely nothing like the flavored oatmeal in a package you mix up with hot water and more akin to the oatmeal you make at home. It has real chunks of fruit. None of that freeze dried stuff. It comes in a handy little bowl that you just pop in the microwave for 45 seconds. No water needed. It’s ready to eat!

Speaking of eating. I usually eat my oatmeal the same way each and every time, with cinnamon and just a touch of sugar. For my 3 yr old I leave out the sugar and I add in apples, sometimes peaches. The funny thing is that when I tried the Seneca Farms I actually liked the vanilla peach better than the apple cinnamon. Oh don’t get me wrong I liked the apple cinnamon as well, but now I have a new flavor to share the love of with my son.

Seneca Farms is definitely going to be a staple in my household. For those days when I don’t feel like making breakfast, or we’re on the run. I can stuff a few in my bag and head out the door. They also make great midnight snacks (don’t ask me how I know that). Best part about it though? They’re only around 180 calories and are the perfect portion size.

More About Seneca Farms Oatmeal & Fruit

Just launched in April, it is the perfect choice for anyone who has trouble finding time for breakfast in the morning. In less time than it takes to make a cup of coffee, heat the six-ounce microwaveable cup – no milk or water necessary – in the microwave for 45 seconds. Seneca’s Oatmeal & Fruit has no trans fats or cholesterol, and is a great source of Vitamin C. 

Currently available in Apple Cinnamon and Vanilla Peach, Seneca Farms Oatmeal & Fruit can be found nationally at Walmart and at a wide variety of retail grocery stores. For a detailed store list, visit www.seneca-farms.com. Seneca Farms plans to expand its flavors later this year with Oatmeal & Fruit Cranberry Apple, and Oatmeal – Maple & Brown Sugar.

Seneca Farms Oatmeal & Fruit is not only a quick and healthy breakfast option, but it is a satisfying mid-afternoon snack and it even works as part of a healthy weight loss plan for those looking to lose or maintain weight loss.

Here are some important stats about families skipping breakfast:

It’s not groundbreaking news that breakfast provides us and our kids with the nutrition and fuel our bodies need. And we all know that eating oatmeal and other whole grains are an essential part of a healthy diet and promote overall good health. But, busy mornings and finicky kids can make it hard to find the time to make something that is both nutritious and delicious.

Did you know that*…

  • Nearly 60% of U.S. parents of children ages 3-17 admit that their child skips breakfast, with more than half of U.S. Moms wishing their child ate a more nutritious breakfast.
  • 58% of U.S. Moms say they skip breakfast regularly. 46% of Moms who skip breakfast say they do so because they do not have enough time to prepare or eat it.
  • 57% of single adults say the number one reason they skip breakfast is that they don’t have enough time to prepare it.
  • While 71% of U.S. adults agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, 67% of those admit to skipping breakfast.
