There are so many options of cereal for you to choose from; I've added photos of a few of my yummy favorites!! Feel free to use whole grain cereal as a mid-day snack, create your own trail mix or add to your favorite yogurt, etc.

To cereal or not to cereal...??
Cereal (hot or cold) is a great way to find fiber, whole grains and B vitamins! I get a lot questions from diabetics or folks concerned with elevated blood sugar about cereal and its sugar content. My response to that is simple; practice portion control! Someone concerned about controlling their sugar for health reasons should practice reading food/nutrition labels often. In short, find a cereal with at least 3g of fiber or more, read the label to determine how much is enough, use a measuring cup if you have to and if you're not satisfied, feel free to add something to your breakfast: a boiled egg, small serving of fruit or a slice of whole grain bread are all good options to go with. -these choices will keep you feeling full and satisfied, decreasing the chance for extra unnecessary
