Maya is partial to “white” foods, namely pasta, rice, and potatoes, so I try sneak in as much fiber as I can through other sources. Oatmeal is a breakfast favorite, as is cereal. I must admit we’ve tried a wide variety of breakfast cereals, but almost always fall back on either Cheerios or Frosted Flakes.
I just recently added a new product to our pantry – Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes Gold. What lured me in about this cereal was it’s nutrition information. It has 3 grams of fiber and 2 grams of protein per 3/4 cup serving. Unfortunately it also provides 10 grams of sugar, but is undeniably a healthier alternative to the traditional Frosted Flakes, which has only one gram of fiber, one gram of protein, and a touch more sugar per serving.
The flavor is another draw. After savoring my first bowlful, the first thing that came to mind was that it tasted like honey graham crackers. Maya jumped on the chance to try a new cereal, had no complaints about it, and even my husband enjoyed a bowl. Finding a cereal that everyone in the family likes is rare, so I was happily surprised!
I know I won’t be able to avoid sugary cereals altogether, but this is definitely something that the whole family can agree on. As soon as we finish off the box of regular Frosted Flakes we’ll switch over to Gold for good. That is until something better (specifically with less sugar) comes around!
Oh, and the Kellogg’s website provides a few fun recipes: Frosted Flakes Gold as an addition to muffins, a crust for a fruit “pizza”, and as a variation on Rice Krispies Treats. The chocolate muffins look yummy! Definitely something we’ll try out one of these days.
