Treating your body better with Kelloggs cereals!

One of the most important things that you can do for your family is give them good nutrition, but I hate sacrificing taste for vitamins and minerals. When shopping, I do my best to grab the items that are good for you, the ones with the stuff in it that you need, but sometimes I just refuse to go the healthier route. I'm stoked now I don't have to sacrifice anything with my breakfasts!! (Or my midnight snacks! I'm a habitual 1:00 am cereal eater...)

Between Froot Loops and Apple Jacks, two of my all time faves, I don't have to wonder where I'll be getting my fiber from. And the kids too! Boug loves both, she takes after me, and of course Lil' Buddy is always sneaking bites from my bowl. Its sad that 9 out of 10 kids lack fiber in their diets, but it doesn't have to be impossible to get it in there- Boug loves starting her day off with Froot Loops some days, as well as Apple Jacks other days. It's not just about the fiber though, these cereals are made with whole grains, which is better for you as well! You can head to both Kelloggs Nutrition, as well as the Kelloggs site to find out more about the healthier choices that you can make for yourself.

Believe me, I put these two to the test. I tried out both with and without fiber Apple Jacks and Froot Loops and either way, delicious as ever and no difference was tasted. No sacrifice, no subsitutes, no problems whatsoever!


I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Kellogg’s and received boxes of Froot Loops and Apple Jacks and a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Uncle Sam's Cereal MEGA Review

We're big cereal eaters in our house, there's usually at least 3 open boxes of cereal at any given time so when the opportunity arose to try out Uncle Sam's cereal, I had to! To be honest, I knew that my daughter wouldn't even attempt to try it, at 5 years old, the words "flaxseed" and "omega-3's" scared her off immediately.

My husband is a completely different story though! I was lucky to get a small bowl myself of the Uncle Sam's... he was keeping it under lock and key because he loved it so much. He's one of those "give me the crunchiest cereal you can find" guys and especially loved that Uncle Sam's didn't get soggy in the milk and stayed crunchy the whole time he ate his ginormous bowls of cereal!

Though he loved the crunch, I simply loved that he was eating it. He's not the healthiest of eaters so when something comes along that he likes that's healthy, I'm thrilled! Uncle Sam's is loaded with high fiber, omega-3's and flaxseed which are all so great for you. And not to forget the whole grain wheat flakes, I'm happy to find something to add to our cereal shelf that's not only good, but good for you.

If Uncle Sam's isn't available in your local grocery, you can order U.S. Mills Uncle Sam Cereal on amazon.
