Cereal

I love cereal. If I could eat cereal for every meal of every day I would. However, you have to be really careful about what kind of cereal you're eating. A majority of them are loaded with sugar, which is very upsetting. Some of my all time favorite cereals (Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Fruity Pebbles, Golden Grahams...) are the equivalent to eating a bowl of ice cream. 

Check out which our your favorites have the most sugar: 

I wasn't prepared to let my love for cereal die, when I decided to adopt a healthy (er) style of eating. Cereal is, and will probably always be one of my favorite things to eat. I've found some healthier cereals I can eat that still taste good!

1. Grape Nuts: I'm not going to lie. On their own, these taste terrible. However, with just a few additions, it has turned into one of my favorites! I just add a spoonful of brown sugar and a handful of blueberries, which is still significantly less sugar than any of the brands listed above. This cereal is also a great source of protein!

2. Kashi Honey Toasted Oat: Currently, this is my favorite cereal. Kashi is seriously the best.  You don't need to add anything, because it's already delicious. This is the kind of cereal you look forward to eating and it only has 5 grams of sugar per serving. Score.

3. Kashi Indigo Morning: Kashi has done it again. Have you ever had Pops? Another one of my favorites as a kid. This, in my opinion, is better than Pops. It's like Pops with berries, but healthy! It's really similar in taste and texture, but the berries just give it an extra kick. This cereal only has 6 grams of sugar per serving, which is extremely low compared to Pops, which has 14.85 grams of sugar per serving.



These are just a few of my new favorites to help me stay on track for living a healthier life! Healthy Eating!
