Are your kids bouncing off the walls after breakfast? It could be that bowl of cereal that you placed in front of them this morning for breakfast. I've never given Xavier, who's 3, cold cereal for breakfast, but it has crossed my mind. There are mornings when I just don't feel like fixing pancakes or don't have the time, so I'm looking for other options. I decided to research the sugar grams in cold cereal, and was quite surprised when I came across the best and worst cereal list. I thought I would share it with you. You too may be surprised by the sugar content, and may think twice about what you serve your children for breakfast. Here's the list:
Worst Cereals
- Honey Smacks 17g sugar
- Golden Crisp 15.5g sugar
- Lucky Charms 12g sugar
- Fruit Loops 12g sugar
- Trix 11g sugar
- Envirokidz Koala 11g sugar
- Raisin Bran 10g sugar
- Sugar Frosted Flakes 8g sugar
Best Cereals
- Mini Wheats 7.5g sugar
- Life 6 g sugar
- Rice Krispies 4 g sugar
- Wheaties 4 g sugar
- Kix 3 g sugar
- Corn Flakes 2 g sugar
- Cheerios 1 g sugar
- Shredded Wheat 0 g sugar
It looks like Kix may be the cereal that I try. It has less sugar, and could excite my grandson to want to eat it. Right now if I don't fix pancakes for him, I give him oatmeal. He loves both with an apple slice. A piece of bacon or sausage link is a treat. Occassionally, I do allow him to eat a butternut butter and jelly sandwhich with a glass of milk when he's visiting too. What do you feed your child for breakfast? I'm looking for ideas, I may take you up on it.
