One thing that I like to keep as a staple in my pantry is cereal. When there are days where mom doesn’t want to get up to cook breakfast, the kids can always pour themselves a bowl of cereal to get their day started. Now there are so many different kinds of cereal to choose from when I am grocery shopping. There are the ones with lots of sugar that kids LOVE and there is the more healthy cereals that I prefer and hope that my children and husband will eat too!
We recently had the opportunity to review some of the Fiber One cereals including: Original, Honey Clusters, Raisin Bran Clusters, Caramel Delight, and Shredded Wheat. My favorite of the five is the shredded wheat as I have always liked shredded wheat cereal since I was a child. I LOVE the fact that these cereals contain fiber as I can always use a little extra.
I recently took a survey about fiber consumption with over 1,000 other fellow bloggers. I thought I would share the results with you:
- 30 percent thought they were getting the recommended Daily Value of fiber
- 66 percent say they struggle to incorporate fiber into their diets
- 51 percent said that they don’t think about incorporating fiber into their diet, while 21 percent said fiber is too difficult to find in foods they enjoy
- 45 percent said they would like their fiber to come with honey
Did you know that the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans say people should consume 25-38 grams of fiber daily. I don’t think I consume that much, do you? What is neat is that Fiber One cereals can offer at least 30 percent of the Daily Value per serving. Some of these yummy cereals even offer 50 percent!
