A common question I hear is, "what is the best cereal?" There are so many cereals on the market that choosing the best one down the cereal isle can be very overwhelming. Many cereals make ridiculous health claims, and it seems everyday there is a "new and improved" cereal to choose from. Disappointingly, many of these new cereals contain: too much sugar, not enough fiber, or many artificial ingredients such as sweeteners and imitation fiber. However, there IS a cereal with real fiber and without any added sugar or artificial ingredients.
Regular Ol' Shredded Wheat, in my opinion, is the best cold cereal on the market! This cereal can be of brand name or store/generic name and has only 1 ingredient(whole wheat). A 1 cup serving packs 6-7 grams of both protein and fiber.
Shredded Wheat is a great tasting breakfast cereal with a little bit of milk. However, if you crave more flavor, create your own favorite cereal with one or a combination of the following:
- Cinnamon and sugar
- Agave nectar
- Local honey
- Raisins
- Chopped dates
- Freeze dried fruit
- Fresh strawberries and blueberries
- Sliced bananas
Shredded Wheat is not only great as a breakfast cereal, but it can also be used as:
- Croutons on salad
- Crackers in soup
- Crunchiness in yogurt
- Crackers for peanut butter
- Part of a trail mix
- Snack on the go
So next time you find yourself frazzled in the cereal isle, DON'T BE, just grab for the Shredded Wheat, and you and your tummy will be pleased.
