“We know many people make wellness resolutions to kick-off the New Year and we’re excited to offer steel-cut oats and fresh fruit as part of our new oatmeal offering with Hearty Blueberry Oatmeal,” said Mary Wagner, Ph. D., senior vice president, research and development, Starbucks Coffee Company. “Starbucks ^® oatmeal has been a customer favorite since its launch in 2008 and we’re committed to continuing to innovate and provide selections that support a healthy lifestyle.”

Also this winter, Starbucks ^® Perfect Oatmeal will revamp with the new steel-cut and rolled oats blend, and a new name: Starbucks ^® Classic Oatmeal. The trio of delicious toppings – dried fruit blend, nut medley and brown sugar – remains available to customize the Classic Oatmeal. With 100 percent whole grains and a hearty texture, Starbucks ^® Classic Oatmeal and Hearty Blueberry Oatmeal each provide one of the recommended daily servings of whole grain, according to the USDA My Pyramid guidelines. Pair either oatmeal with an excellent source of calcium to start your day, Starbucks ^® Tall (12 fl. oz.) Nonfat Caffé Latte.

“I’ve always loved grabbing a cup of Starbucks oatmeal as my go-to breakfast when away from home, and I’m thrilled that it is now blended with steel-cut oats,” said Michelle Dudash, registered dietitian and author of Clean Eating for Busy Families. “The new Hearty Blueberry Oatmeal – along with Starbucks ^® Classic Oatmeal – has good protein and fiber, making it a great choice to help keep you fueled and satisfied all morning long.”

Hearty Blueberry Oatmeal will be available in approximately 4,500 company-operated stores in the U.S. beginning tomorrow and Starbucks ^® Classic Oatmeal will continue to be offered in participating company-operated and licensed stores in the U.S. and Canada.
