BATTLE CREEK, Mich. -- The Kellogg Co. has opened the Kellogg's Recharge Bar in New York City to educate families about the power of protein and grains found in a serving of Kellogg's cereal and one cup of skim milk. A recent survey revealed that when hearing "protein and grains," only 20%1 of Americans think of cereal and milk.
"I'm excited to be a part of the opening of Kellogg's Recharge Bar to show everyone how easy it is to get a nutritious breakfast with a bowl of cereal and milk," said Dr. Travis Stork. "A bowl of cereal and one cup of milk is a great way to start the day with the right combination of protein and whole grains."
Located at 1701 Broadway Avenue, on W 54th Street and Broadway, the Kellogg's Recharge Bar will be open to the public for free June 24-27, from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. daily. Visitors can enjoy a free breakfast of Kellogg's new cereal and milk combinations, alongside performances from top celebrities. Seating is limited, so those arriving will be granted access on a first-come, first-served basis.
Chef, owner and founder of Milk Bar, Christina Tosi, will unveil her combinations of protein and grains, including The King, Banana Nut, Pistachio Lemon, Cinnamon-Apple, Berry Au-Lait and the Tropical Mermaid. Combinations include Kellogg's favorites--Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats, Kellogg's Raisin Bran, Special K Original, All-Bran Bran-Buds and Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, combined with extra protein--skim milk, 2% milk, Milk Bar cereal milk--and topped off with flavor boosts such as ground coffee, lemon zest, almond butter and fruit.
