The Best Cereal....

I love cereal...anytime. So, I try to keep healthy cereal on hand. I love to add cereal to yogurt or even ice cream for that extra crunch! But, as we all know, all cereals are NOT good for you, even though they may have a ton of added vitamins! The next time you go grocery shopping and start down the cereal aisle, STOP and read the nutrition facts!

What to look for in a cereal (according to healthcastle.com)...

• Three or more grams of total fiber per serving. (the more the merrier for me...3g is not enough in my book!!)


• One or more grams of soluble fiber, which may help lower cholesterol and keeps blood sugar stable.


• Fewer than two grams of saturated fat and no trans fats, both of which contribute to heart disease risk.


• Fewer than 10 grams of sugar, unless it has dried fruit, which contain natural sugars.

For the healthiest cereal...the winner is...

Kashi Go Lean...10g fiber, 6g sugar, 13g protein...GOLEAN cereal is a lightly sweetened mix of crunchy fiber twigs, crispy soy protein grahams, and honey-toasted 7 Whole Grains and Sesame Puffs. view nutritional info

This one has always been my favorite fiber cereal, but it isn't as tasty as the first...

Fiber One...14g fiber, 0g sugar, 2g protein....very filling...you might want to add it to yogurt, not everyone likes the taste. But, there are different flavors, they're just not quite as healthy! view different flavors view nutrition facts

The worst breakfast cereal...so sorry...

Cap'n Crunch is "The Worst Breakfast Cereal," according to "The 20 Worst Foods For Kids" found in the October issue of Men's Health. "Aside from the added vitamins, which are mandated by the government, this cereal is an amalgam of largely worthless food particles and chemicals,"...
