The Quaker Overnight Oats range is a new series of breakfast product making their way to the UK market to offer consumers a simple, one-step way to prepare the recipe. The products start off with a base of 100% whole grain oats along with chia seeds in the mix and flavor-focused ingredients to maximize taste and nutritional benefits. The product comes in two flavors including Blueberry and Mocha Choc Chip, which each come in resealable pouches with a 350-gram size and are priced at £3.75 each.
