How do you pick what kind of cereal you buy each chopping trip? Do you tell the kids what they are going to eat or do you let them pick? I generally let them pick, but, it is from a selection. I refuse to let them just grab whatever they want. Biggest reason being the amount of sugar lot of the ones they want contain. I also think it is insane to pay $4+ for a box of cereal that lasts 2 days. I am picky about my cereal. I only eat mainly Cheerios, Chex etc.

Ready to go nuts over fiber? Introducing the newest flavor in the Fiber One cereal line-up, Fiber One Nutty Clusters & Almonds! With the perfect combination of crunch and sweetness, this new cereal is a great (and tasty!) way to help get fiber you need. It contains 11 grams of fiber (43% of the Daily Value), 23 grams of whole grain (at least 48 recommended daily), and 180 calories per serving. Not to mention, chock full of delicious crunchy nut clusters, real sliced almonds and whole grain flakes! Did you know that 9 out of 10 Americans don’t get enough fiber in their diet?

I don’t know any kids that don’t love fruit snacks. We even have a supply of gummy vitamins! That boys love taking those. There are so many different kinds of fruit snacks on the market today, it’s hard to decide which to buy. Aside from the prices, some of them just taste horrible. How would I know you may be thinking? I always steal the orange ones I don’t even really have to steal them anymore, now the boys just automatically say, “Mom! Orange one!” lol

We took a lot of road trips this summer and I always look for “help yourself” snacks to pack. Mott’s® now has a delicious line of fruit snacks available in Assorted Fruit and Berry varieties, Mott’s® Medleys Fruit Flavored Snacks are the ideal blend of great tasting and quality ingredients that will make both kids and moms happy. They are made with real fruit & vegetable juice and natural colors and flavors. They are made with pear, apple and carrot juice concentrate.  They are of course not intended to replace fruit or vegetables in a diet. I also love that they are available with year round Double Box Tops!
