General Mills just conducted a breakfast survey in the D.C. area. In the survey, 97% of parents said that breakfast was important for children to eat. Studies have shown that kids who eat breakfast tend to perform better in school and have fewer disciplinary problems. They also have shown that breakfast also tends to help kids stay alert and 86% agree that cereal is a healthy option. 


While I admit I didn't realize all the benefits of eating cereal, it has always been my go-to breakfast option because it's convenient and tasty. Now I can feel really good about grabbing a bowl before work!

Love, love, love cereal! I start my day usually with a bowl of Kashi Blueberry Clusters, Quaker Oatmeal Squares, or some type of granola or shredded wheat....there really isn't any kind of cereal that we don't like! If I'm really in a hurry, then I'll have Greek Yogurt topped with fruit and maybe some type of crushed cereal....yum!

Great giveaway! One way we eat healthy in the morning is with milk, whether it's in a smoothie, with cereal, Carnation Instant Breakfast, or just a glass of milk with a meal.

Cheerios (classic yellow box) is wonderful for breakfast b/c it is so low in sugar!

Kira said...

We love cereal for breakfast, but we change it up. Sometimes Cheerios, or Raisin Bran, or Frosted Mini Wheats!

Kelly said...

Our healthy breakfast option is serving either low-sugar cereals or farm-fresh eggs in a whole wheat flour tortilla for on-the-go. Thanks for the chance!
