I was recently asked by Mom Bloggers Club to participate in their General Mills Blog Tour centered around their new Grow Up Strong program, and of course I enthusiastically agreed. We go through a LOT of cereal around here between the kids eating it for breakfast and me eating as a late night snack, LOL!
More importantly though, I was really interested to learn about the changes that they’ve made to their kid cereals.
Did you know:
- Big G kid cereals guarantee at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving in every box.
- They have just 12 grams or less of sugar in each serving.
- Combine them with a half-cup of skim milk, and they’ve got 25% of their recommended daily value of both calcium and vitamin D in one meal.
Seriously, how much easier can a nutritious breakfast get?
My kids were thrilled when the General Mills package containing a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch arrived on our doorstep. We declared it “breakfast for lunch” day, and they all dug in. One box doesn’t go very far in this house, but I managed to snag a bowl for myself as well. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the new whole grain variety tastes just like I remember the old version, and my kids scarfed it down with no complaints.

I didn’t realize they had made any changes to their cereals. What are the specific changes? Less sugar and more whole grains?

Yep! They have whole grains and reduced sugar now, and I personally couldn’t tell the difference in taste.
