The innovative food brand, thinkThin®, is expanding its product line beyond bars with the introduction of thinkThin® Protein & Fiber Hot Oatmeal.

Building on the momentum of last year's launch of its Lean Protein and Fiber bars, the most successful bar extension in the brand's history, thinkThin is embarking on its first national, new food category launch. With the rising demand for protein products, thinkThin is the first brand in the hot cereal category to offer a great combination of not only protein, but also the added benefit of high fiber with only 200 calories or less. The trifecta of protein, fiber and calories provides a solution for consumers looking for a perfectly-balanced breakfast at home or on-the-go.

"thinkThin Protein & Fiber Hot Oatmeal is an exciting and innovative addition to our product portfolio and demonstrates thinkThin's commitment to deliver food that is as nutritious as it is delicious," Michele Kessler, CEO of thinkThin, said in a statement. "As a leader in the protein bar category, we have a solid understanding of the important role protein and fiber play in providing the perfect balance of energy and nutrition. We are excited to continue to fuel thinkThin's growth with the launch of thinkThin Protein & Fiber Hot Oatmeal and break into additional on-trend categories."

thinkThin Protein & Fiber Hot Oatmeal is made with a blend of wholesome grains including whole rolled oats, steel cut oats and quinoa. Consumers can purchase the new hot oatmeal in a multi-pack box of six packets or a convenient, portable single serving bowl. Each serving of thinkThin® Protein & Fiber Hot Oatmeal is packed with 10g of protein, 5g of fiber and is 200 calories or less.

Consumers can choose from a range of four flavors from a scrumptious blend of real berries in Farmer's Market Berry Crumble; a delicious fusion of flavors in Madagascar Vanilla, Almonds, Pecans; a hearty and nutritious mix in Original Sprouted Grains (box only); and a sweet, nutty option in Honey Peanut Butter (bowl only).

thinkThin Protein & Fiber Hot Oatmeal is available online and at select retailers and grocery stores now with nationwide availability beginning March 2015.
