Fiber One Nutty Clusters & Almonds (Giveaway) http://www.afewfriesshort.com/fiber-one-nutty-clusters-almonds-giveaway/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=fiber-one-nutty-clusters-almonds-giveaway http://www.afewfriesshort.com/fiber-one-nutty-clusters-almonds-giveaway/#comments Sun, 12 Aug 2012 12:00:08 +0000 Toni-Lynn http://www.afewfriesshort.com/?p=1964

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?

In a nutshell, Fiber One Nutty Clusters & Almonds is a great-tasting and wholesome breakfast cereal that you can feel good about.

Download a printable coupon for $1.25 off one box of Fiber One Nutty Clusters & Almonds cereal today! Much to my surprise, the boys ate it! I had to explain, no sneaking multiple bowl of this cereal! Have you tried it yet? What did you think?

    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 :D I don’t even really have to steal them anymore, now the boys just automatically say, “Mom! Orange one!” lol
