The muesli is available in a 650g re-sealable stand-up pouches and comes in three flavours – strawberry; nuts and seeds; and dates and coconut.
PepsiCo is also rolling out a line-up of “breakfast pouches” in the UK to meet what the group said is increasing demand for “convenient on-the-go breakfast options”.
The Quaker Oat & Fruit Breakfast, containing oats, fruit purée and natural yogurt in 200g pouches, “offers a complete breakfast solution”, Quaker said.
The new products, which will initially be available in Tesco stores only, are available in three flavours – red fruits; apple and cinnamon; and blueberry – “each of which provides a source of fibre and contains no added sugar”.
