Seneca Farms Oatmeal & Fruit Review & Giveaway

13 Comments
Not my breakfast table but isn't it fabulous?

I recently got the opportunity to try Seneca Farms Oatmeal and Fruit. I admit it, I am one of the 58% of American moms who skip breakfast. And lets be honest, I am so busy in the morning that, while my kids never skip breakfast, I wish it was better for them and more filling. So I was very excited to check out this new (at least to me) product.

This was a big hit with my kids! The best way to describe the taste of the apple variety is to take chunky apple sauce and mix it with oatmeal. But is only takes a few seconds to get it ready.  I have a child who doesn’t even like regular oatmeal and yet ate her whole bowl! The kids all liked the fruit and how sweet it was.

So how would you like to win some of this yummy Oatmeal & Fruit? Seneca Farms is going to give one lucky reader a 2 pack of each flavor! Just leave me a comment telling me about your favorite breakfast item?

You can also earn some extra entries (make sure to leave a comment for each thing)

This giveaway will close August 24, 2011.

(I was provided a sample to evaluate and giveaway by Seneca Farms. This opportunity was provided to me by MomSparkMedia.)
