Quaker Oats is expanding its Protein range with the introduction of a Peanut Butter variety. 

The new launch aims to tap into growing consumer demand for protein-rich breakfast foods.  

Mintel data suggests that nearly half of Gen-Z consumers prioritise protein intake and that the Protein Porridge segment is on the rise. The new launch therefore aims to target younger consumers.  

The brand is also debuting a new look to its Protein range, which will now feature block colours on each pack to reflect each flavour. A new image of a spoon filled with the product is now located in the centre of each pack.

Quaker Protein Peanut Butter cartons each contain eight sachets, each carton has an RRP of £3.50.  

The brand is supporting the launch and packaging refresh with a marketing campaign, spanning online media, in-store shopper support and sampling.  

Divesh Parmar, general manager for Quaker UK PepsiCo, said: “Protein porridge is undergoing a huge perception change. Having become more mainstream, it’s no longer just for shoppers looking to improve their athletic performance – protein porridge is for the everyday consumer. 

 “We’re confident that the revamp of our Quaker Protein range will bring incremental growth into the category and resonate with the intended Gen-Z and Millennial audience to support their lifestyle goals.”
