Who loves Oatmeal?!

Well, we’ve got a spread for you!

Quaker Oats is hosting a Oatmeal Bar for all Healthy Living Summit attendees on Sunday, August 20th from 9 -11am.

Attendees will have a chance to design their own bowl of oats with a full toppings bar, fresh fruit, and Quaker Oatmeal Squares. We’ll have the classic crowd favorites of cinnamon, brown sugar and raisins, but we’re interested to see how we could jazz these toppings up to take this oatmeal bar over the top!

You can help us by designing your ideal bowl of oatmeal right now! Leave your favorite oatmeal toppings below and we’ll pick a random winner to receive a Quaker Oats pack of goodies at Healthy Living Summit next week. Be sure to get creative and have fun!

And who knows? A few favorites may just end up at the Quaker Oatmeal Bar on Sunday!
