big g cereals offer healthy whole grains (review and giveaway)

every day my kids pick out 3 or 4 different kinds of cereals they want to have mixed together for breakfast.  every day they have a different combination that they want, but i can always guarantee that they will have cheerios on the bottom.

and that is fine with me.

we don't have time in the morning to make pancakes and eggs for breakfast, so i like the kids to have as healthy a breakfast as they can, as quickly as they can.  i'm glad for them to enjoy big g cereals like cheerios, kix, chex and oatmeal crunch that have 8 grams or more of whole grains.

did you know that general mills offers over 20 different cereals that provide 16 grams or more of whole grains?  they offer cereals for adults and kids alike that go a long way to making sure the most important meal of the day is a healthy one.

if you are looking to have a healthier new year, try looking for the general mills "big g" cereals that have the white check on them.  this means they are cereals made with whole grains.  also try looking for other foods to purchase with the white check or the whole grain stamp marked on them.  if you look at the ingredients list, look for foods that have whole grains listed first or near the top of the list.

if you want more tips and helpful advice, check out the whole grain nation website.  you'll be surprised what you can learn.

i received the prize pack described above, as well as the information about whole grains, from general mills through my blog spark.  regardless, the thoughts and opinions expressed here are purely my own.
