Quaker Heart Healthy Giveaway
I’ve always been a huge Quaker fan. It is no secret that I eat oatmeal for breakfast every morning. I love Quaker’s products, but I also love that they are actively involved in preventing heart disease. February is American Heart Month and Quaker wants to help Americans understand that being amazing starts with taking care of your heart. Starting your day with a healthy breakfast, daily exercise, and eating heart healthy snacks all help build a healthy heart.
During the month of February, Quaker is donating $1 to the American Heart Association for each of Quaker’s current Facebook fans as of February 1st and each new person who “likes” the QuakerFacebook page during the month of February (up to $250,000). These dollars will benefit the AHA’s new program My Heart. My Life., which helps bring healthy cooking curriculum to after-school organizations across the country.
In addition, Quaker will donate $1, up to $125,000, for each new Facebook “like.” Visit www.Facebook.com/Quaker to find out how healthy your heart is using the Everyday Health Healthy-Heart Checkup Quiz, plus get recipes and expert tips to help you make the best nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices. Go check it out now!
If you are looking for heart healthy recipes, here are a few of my favorites:
Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
Mushroom Barley Soup
Pumpkin Granola
Rosemary Roasted Almonds
Banana Berry Oatmeal

Welcome to Two Peas and Their Pod. We share a love of cooking, baking, and entertaining. We enjoy creating recipes that are simple, fresh, and family friendly. Join us in our culinary adventures-our kitchen is always open! 
I workout 6 days a week, eat only whole grains and make sure to get in at least 10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. And I would love a new yoga mat.
I cook healthy meals with healthy ingredients. I try to stay away from anything processed/artificial and in an effort to do so, only try to buy ingredients that have a shelf life of less than 2 weeks. That means – LOTS of fruits and veggies!
My husband is a marathon runner and eats oatmeal every morning! As a result, he has an appetite like you wouldn’t believe!
I spin 4 times a week as well as running and doing zumba + pilates.
It is important to stay active and eat healthy. Thank you Maria for this wonderful giveaway!
Also, I just gave Quaker a thumbs up on Facebook!
(I don’t have twitter, but I’ll pass along the message anyway to my friends!)
I workout as much as I can, I don’t smoke, and eat healthy!
I go to spin class, yoga, and muscle pump. And I eat oatmeal every morning
Healthy heart for me!
I workout quite a bit and also eat pretty healthy!
I exercise at the Y & eat a mostly vegetarian diet. Also just added a calcium/vitamin D supplement daily.
I wake up at 5:45AM for spin class and just got home, guess what I made myself: a bowl of heart healthy quaker oatmeal with some fruit and flax seeds (for healthy omega-3′s)!!!
Great giveaway! I have what my doctor calls “remarkably low” cholesterol and I attribute that to good genes, plenty of exercise, and of course, lots of oatmeal

I serve my family oatmeal EVERY morning!! I also do a bootcamp style workout 3 days a week and try to eat as many fruits and vegies as I can. I limit the amount of saturated fats we eat to keep our hearts healthy!!
I “liked” the page:)
I run 3x a week and lift weights 2-3 times a week. I’ve also been eating oatmeal every morning since I was maybe 2 years old. My mom used to make it for me before school and 20 years later I’m still making it every morning before work!
To keep my heart healthy I finally quit smoking. It’s been a little over two weeks, but that has to be one of the biggest accomplishments for me.
Just “liked” the facebook page
I eat oats for breakfast almost every day, and I work out three or four times a week to stay healthy!
I eat A LOT of oatmeal, but I also eat fruits and veggies and minimize bad fats and meats. I also exercise every day.
I workout most days and try to eat healthy to keep my heart healthy. Love oatmeal and try to make my husband eat more of it!
Well, first of all I’m a fiber-aholic! I love oatmeal and eat it often. I also go to the gym every once in a while, haha
Spin class 5am every other day. Yoga/Pilates, weight lifting 3 days a week, kick boxing 3 evenings a week. Running when my back feels good:) I also eat oatmeal morning and eat healthy the rest of the day..OK i do have an occasional TWD treat! But for the most part Im always searching for new healthy recipes to feed my family. Im trying to set a good example for my three teenagers in eating healthy and exercising on a regular basis! I love the give away!!
Oatmeal keeps my heart healthy – in addition to lots of running

To stay healthy I like to get in at least 1 spin class a week. That really gets my heart pumping and a good sweat going on!
I like Quaker on facebook!
I exercise every morning!
Thanks for the great giveaway and the chance to do something great! I’ve started exercising regularly again (kind of fell off of that after kids…!)
I liked the Quaker page!
I exercise regularly and strive be active throughout my day (though that is certainly easier to want to do during the warm, summer months).
And I’m a big Quaker fan too. Oatmeal squares cereal – mmm!
I exercise a few times a week, but with three little ones they keep my heart going constantly. And I eat oatmeal regularly because it is such a versatile breakfast cereal.
I eat oatmeal for breakfast almost every morning, and I make an effort to pack a lunch every day to keep from being tempted by fast food at work.
I liked the Quaker facebook page!

i don’t love oatmeal unless it’s in baked form, but i do exercise consistently and eat tons of veggies
