Squares-BrownSugar-Detail_sflbOk. I am not a big fan of oatmeal. I AM a big fan of the health benefits of oatmeal. So I was quite  happy when I found out that Quaker makes a cold cereal called Quaker Oatmeal Squares. It comes in three flavors:  Brown Sugar, Golden Maple and Cinnamon (I prefer the brown sugar). It has a really great crunch and not too sweet taste, is very hearty, and I much prefer it to oatmeal.  A one cup serving with one-half cup of skim milk comes in at 250 calories, with 2.5 grams of fat (only .5  grams saturated), 5 grams of fiber, 6 grams of protein, and NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP (the sweetness comes from brown sugar and molasses). Add 1/2 cup of strawberries or blueberries, and you have one great, hearty, healthy breakfast, a quick and easy alternative to oatmeal.
