Portable Nutrition – #GalletitasHBOats @HBOats @HBOatsLatino #Ad

This is part of a sponsored campaign with Latina Mom Bloggers and Honey Bunches of Oats. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

It seems as Americans we are always running from dawn’s first light until well after sunset, we don’t stop. Nutrition is an important thing to consider as we are running around during the day. This includes getting breakfast and something healthier than a donut.  I wrote earlier this week about the importance of eating good foods and I have another fiber and protein rich grab and go snack, Honey Bunches of Oats Breakfast Biscuits.  These are great to pack on our weekend daytripping too.

Here are a couple of tips from our experience, to be sure the kids (and hubby) get breakfast to start the day:

  • We have begun waking up a little earlier so they have enough time to eat breakfast before rushing out the front door.
  • In addition to preparing school lunches the night before, we also layout breakfast ahead of time, (perishables are kept in the fridge).
  • Twice a week, my kiddos participate in their running club at school. Following their run, they eat a hot breakfast from the school cafeteria.

We have tried all three flavors, each are delicious. I must say, the strawberry flavor was the first box to become empty. I also want to say, that it tasted like real strawberry, not some artificial flavoring.  These are made with real ingredients, including the chocolate and honey. I was truly impressed with the real taste!  Check out Honey Bunches of Oats on Facebook.

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post with Nescafe with Coffee-mate. However, all opinions are my own.

There are some combos that we can’t live without. The first that come to mind are peanut butter and jelly, milk and cookies, chips and salsa, pan dulce and cafecito, and now there’s one that’s a marriage made in heaven. Nescafé has paired with Coffee-mate. That’s right, the perfect blend of coffee and creamer is now available at your favorite retailer, Nescafé with Coffee-mate.  2 and 1 will never be the same again!

Nescafe has found its perfect match.

Nescafe has found its perfect match.

The best part is that anyone can prepare this and I mean anyone! My mom was over this weekend and needed to have her cafecito first thing in the morning. My daughter helped make abuela and her tias cafe with three very simple steps. It’s easy as 1-2-3. First you add 2 tablespoons to your favorite mug. Next, add 6 oz of hot water. Finally, stir well. Simple enough for a kiddo to make.

I’m not going to lie. My mom tried to snag all of the flavors. She loved them all. I know you will too. Make sure to head over to http://www.nescafewithcoffeemate.com for a .75 cent coupon.
