Quaker Life Soft Baked Nutrition Bars For Adults Review & Giveaway
August 19, 2010
I love to try new products. When the folks at Quaker contacted me about trying a new product I was more than happy to give it a whirl! I was not sure what to expect…I thought it might be a new flavor of oatmeal or maybe a new cereal. I have to tell you I was very pleased to find that they had sent me Life Soft Baked Nutrition Bars For Adults in two flavors: Banana Walnut Bread and Cinnamon Roll Raisin Pecan.
The first thing I did was turn over the boxes to read the ingredients list. I was thrilled to find ingredients such as whole grain rolled oats , soy rice crisp, brown sugar, walnuts, dried bananas, pecans, raisins—REAL INGREDIENTS— not artificial flavorings or corn syrup! I also noticed that both flavors included 5 grams of protein as well as 20% of the daily value of five B vitamins and 6 grams of protein! Needless to say I was pretty impressed before I even opened the box.
Well of course my life is full of distractions so after checking out the box off I ran to deal with one of the many issues that happen in a house with two young boys 
Skip to a few hours later, my husband walks by with a mouthful asking me where I got the new snacks and telling me that they are pretty good. I have to admit that I was a bit perturbed as I wanted to be the one to try them first! Of course unlike my husband I had read on the box a tip to try them warm by popping them in the microwave for a few seconds. I chose the Banana Walnut Bread Flavor and let me just tell you…it was fabulous! The bar tasted like a warm slice of banana bread right out of the oven!
The bar is a perfect size…just enough to satisfy without making you feel stuffed. We are always on the go here at my house and I have almost finished one box as they have been my breakfast on the go for the past few mornings. All I have to do is open one side of the package, microwave for a few seconds then toss it in my bag to eat on the road. My husband has claimed the Cinnamon Roll Raisin Pecan as his flavor of choice but I am sticking with the Banana Walnut Flavor–Yum!! Next time you are shopping at Publix you should definitely give them a try…I think you will be very pleased!!
I have some great news– five of you will also get to try a box of the Banana Walnut Bread flavor and the Cinnamon Roll Raisin Pecan flavor for yourself! I am going to send out one box of each flavor to five winners!

I sweet talked my hubby into going to the store with me one day and while in Publix, some sweet old man was giving out samples and coupons of these new bars. Let’s just say we ended up walking out with 3 boxes of the cinnamon ones.
With a coupons too of course! I have seen the coupons in the spinning display at publix since and have picked up more coupons each time I saw them. My hubby loves these things! I don’t eat nuts, so they are out for me, but he’d eat them everyday if I had them in the house.
Oh, they both sound delicious! I am just going to take a wild guess and say the cinnamon roll pecan.

These sound good!! I would like to try Cinnamon Roll Raisin Pecan.
Sounds like the cinnamon roll bar might be easier to throw in a bag on the way out the door than a regular bakery cinnamon roll! I’d love to try this flavor.
Hands down! It would be the cinnamon roll raisin pecan.
I normally love banana nut bread – so that would be my first initial reaction….but it depends on if it has that imitation banana flavoring taste (which I dislike)….but really both flavors sound great! I am anxious to see them in person as we have been on a quest to find healthy snacks and it is really hard to find something that both is good for you and tastes good.
*** side note: I am really glad I re-read my comment quickly before I hit submit….as I dont love banana but bread
To hard to decide so I would pick both flavors.
Seriously, the banana walnut sounds really yummy. Are these on the market yet? Because if they are, I might just have to run out and buy some before I even find out if I’ve won. My husband loves the quaker chewy granola bars and I bet he’d love these even more being able to heat them up and all.
oh, goodness, they both sound so good! I think I would probably try the banana one first, though. It would be so much more convenient to just pop in the microwave than to bake some bread in the hot summers (actually, about 9 months of the year in Florida, lol)
Banana Bread! Yum!
