ENDED Honey Bunches of Oats Giveaway!

At our house, we love cereal. Cereal is practically its own food group around here. Because of the sheer, glorious variety available, I personally consider cereal to be one of the most perfect foods on earth. Since I've been trying to cut back my sugar consumption, I'm really pleased that there are many choices available that are low in sugar, and that there are healthy options my family loves.

One of our favorites is Honey Bunches of Oats. We all like them, which is a huge bonus - pleasing everyone can be a tricky prospect. Plus Honey Bunches of Oats comes in several different flavors, and variety is the spice of life. Since we're already fans, I was really excited to have the opportunity to review Post Honey Roasted Honey Bunches of Oats, now with more of those granola bunches that make this cereal so delicious.

Looking at my box of Honey Bunches of Oats, this is what I'm most impressed with:

• No high fructose corn syrup

• 6 grams of sugar per serving

These stats make me very happy. For more information, please visit the Honey Bunches of Oats Facebook page. While there, you can get a $1 coupon and enter to win a sweet yellow bicycle!

Kellogg's FiberPlus Cereal

Cereal is one of my favorite foods. Right up there with ice cream and butter, I pretty much think it is a perfect food. Good for any meal of the deal. Good for snacking. Such variety! Yep, I love cereal.


I try not to buy much in the way of sugar cereal. And I think there are lots of healthy options available now that taste great too. Some things I consider when shopping for cereal:

• Does it taste good?
• Will my kids eat it?
• How much sugar is in it?
• How much fiber?
• Does it contain whole grain?

I was given the opportunity to try two varieties of Kellogg's FiberPlus cereals, Berry Yogurt Crunch and Cinnamon Oat Crunch. Here's how they measure up.


Does it taste good? Both Berry Yogurt Crunch and Cinnamon Oat Crunch taste very good indeed. Berry Yogurt Crunch has these yummy little yogurt clumps in it, as well as fruity clusters. I love crunchy little clusters in my cereal! Cinnamon Oat Crunch is the kind of cereal you can just snack on all day. It would be a good one to put in a baggie and throw in the diaper bag. Yet it's also great in milk. 


Will my kids eat it? These cereals passed the kid test in my house. All four of them liked both the Berry Yogurt Crunch and the Cinnamon Oat Crunch.


How much sugar is in it? Berry Yogurt Crunch has 12 grams of sugar per serving and Cinnamon Oat Crunch has 7 grams of sugar per serving. This is decent. Could be better, but they both taste really good so I won't complain too much about the sugar content.


How much fiber? Berry Yogurt Crunch has 10 grams of fiber per serving, or 40% of the recommended daily amount, and Cinnamon Oat Crunch has 9 grams of fiber per serving, or 35% of the recommended daily amount. Great numbers for one bowl of cereal, in my opinion.


Does it contain whole grain? Berry Yogurt Crunch contains 25 grams of whole grain per serving, and Cinnamon Oat Crunch contains 16 grams of whole grain per serving. Again, I think these are great numbers for a bowl of cereal.


In addition, both of these cereals are rich in antioxidant vitamins C and E. All in all, I would say Kellogg's FiberPlus Berry Yogurt Crunch and Cinnamon Oat Crunch are a good choice for getting fiber, whole grain, and antioxidants into my family's diet. They taste good and they have health benefits, what more could I ask for?
