Sponsored Post - General Mills Cereals

Chex Mix…one of my favorite homemade snacks. We ate buckets of the stuff during the Christmas season. Sadly, my pants confirm this is true. Princess E and I also made Muddy Buddies as a math/science project for her. My aunt also introduced us to Snickerdoodle Chex Mix. It was super-yummy and gluten-free.

Anyway, right in the middle of all the holiday yumminess, I received an offer from General Mills and MyBlogSpark. They sent me coupons that I could use to buy any General Mills cereals. They also gave me lots of information about cereal for breakfast.  I am rather picky about what I serve my daughter for breakfast, so learning how they are making breakfast cereals more nutritious was a nice bonus.
So, let me share with you the information that was given to me. General Mills recently announced “a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving. The company has already been reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain.”

Of course, they probably weren’t expecting me to serve Muddy Buddies for breakfast. Ha!  I'm kidding.  I wouldn't do that.  Here's my idea of a good breakfast: 



For more information about kids and cereals, please visit Cereal Health and Wellness.

Right now if you visit here you will find a $1 off coupon for one of four General Mills cereals. These are some of the cereals that children so greatly enjoy. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is a huge hit at my house.

What do you feed your children for breakfast?  I'd love to read your comments on this.  Don't forget to print out your own coupon.
