Quaker is strengthening its position in the high-protein breakfast category with the launch of a new Protein Granola range and an extension to its fast-growing Protein Porridge line.

The move comes as demand rises for healthier, functional breakfast options that combine nutrition, convenience and indulgence.

The new Quaker Protein Granola range is launching in two flavours, Mango & Passionfruit and Chocolate Brownie with Salted Caramel. The products deliver 22g and 21g of protein per 100g, respectively.

Made with wholegrain oats and wheat, both variants are also high in fibre and positioned as non-HFSS options, suitable for breakfast or snacking occasions. Consumers can eat them with milk, yoghurt or directly from pack.

Quaker said the launch is designed to appeal to shoppers seeking wholesome ingredients alongside protein functionality.

Alongside the granola launch, the brand is expanding its Quaker Protein Porridge range with a new Chocolate Brownie flavour.

The new porridge combines 100% wholegrain oats with chocolate flavouring while delivering 20g of protein per 100g.

Available in both sachet and pot formats, the product is ready in two minutes and targets convenient at-home and on-the-go breakfast occasions.

The expansion follows significant growth in Quaker’s Protein Porridge segment, which the company says increased 51% in value during 2025.

Danielle Gipson, Head of Marketing at Quaker, said: "Our new Protein Granola range will appeal to shoppers looking for healthier breakfasts, offering a dual benefit of high protein and high fibre, made with wholesome ingredients. It complements our fast-growing Protein Porridge range, and the addition of a Chocolate Brownie flavour also brings a more indulgent option to the fixture.”

Quaker Protein Granola is available now in Tesco and Morrisons, with rollout into Sainsbury’s beginning from 9 April. Recommended retail price is £3.75 for a 400g pack.

The new Chocolate Brownie Protein Porridge launched from 6 April across Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and Asda.

Pricing is set at £3.75 for 8 sachets and £2.50 per 61g pot.
