As with every new year, we always start the year off with the resolution to eat healthier. This year, it will be easier to keep thanks to General Mills, who announced a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving! These cereals include Lucky Charms, Trix, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Cocoa Puffs.
Cereals deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making it a top source of key nutrients in children’s diets. Other cereal benefits include: they account for only 5% of sugar in children’s diets, they are the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child’s diet today, and more frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.
General Mills was nice enough to send us some coupons to try out some of their cereals. My boys, husband and Wyatt, chose Lucky Charms. Wyatt thought they were yummy, especially the marshmallows.LOL I can’t wait to see if he will feel the sam about the reduced sugar version.
What a great and easy way to start out your kids day. Cereal is a healthy and quick option for those rushed mornings.

My favorite cereal was original “Reese’s” before they changed it and made it not taste as good.
Cheerios are my favorite, and my kids too
Lucky Charms all the way. And oddly enough, it is the only “kids” cereal that I continue to eat to this day.
I love Count Chocula. :)
My fave is Cheerios

I like cocoa puffs the best.
My nephew loves Cinnamon Toast Crunch and has a bowl of cereal each night with his dinner when he is home. A grocery store by me had that Cinnamon Toast Crunch on sale, so I bought some – yummy! No wonder why he likes it! I love anything with cinnamon in it, and I think this cereal will be in my house all the time now!
Thanks for the giveaway!
