Choosing a Healthy Cereal

Simple and Delicious!

I don't normally eat cereal because almost all the cereal sold at my local grocery store is packed with high fructose corn syrup and other processed ingredients. My usual oatmeal breakfast is healthier, but every once in a while I feel that it is okay to have a bowl of cereal with milk to curb my sugar craving and get a nice boost of calcium.

Typically I try to find my calcium outside of milk because I am lactose intolerant, but that is why I choose a reduced fat, lactose-free milk when I do choose to have a bowl of cereal.
 

After researching cereals, I am pretty happy with Nature's Path Organic Flax Plus cereal. This cereal does not have a long list of chemical-sounding ingredients like other cereals on the market. They also use real sugar (not high fructose corn syrup). What's even better is that it is non-GMO and organic!

Now I don't eat this everyday because it still does contain added (real) sugar that I feel I do not need on a daily basis, but I find it okay to eat occasionally. I top it off with strawberries and blueberries to add more delicious, sweet fruit flavor!

Enjoy!
