We recently did an informal taste test at our house with the new Kellogg’s Froot Loops and Apple Jacks with Fiber. We compared the test of the cereals with fiber to the regular ones. Our household didn’t notice the difference! Apple Jacks has always been and still is one of my personal favorites.

Which is good, because according to a recent study, 9 0ut of 10 kids lack enough fiber in their diet. Knowing this information, Kellogg’s decided to help moms and dads out by adding a boost of fiber to two of kids’ favorite cereals - Froot Loops and Apple Jacks. These cereals now have 3 grams of fiber per serving and are available at stores.

In addition to a boost of fiber, these cereals now include whole-grain corn flour, whole grain oat flour, oat fiber, and soluble corn fiber. Kellogg’s plans to expand these ingredients and fiber boost to more cereals throughout the coming year.

What do you think? Have you tried Kellogg’s added fiber cereals yet?

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Kellogg’s and received boxes of Froot Loops and Apple Jacks and a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.

We were recently sent a sample along with coupons for the new Kashi Honey Sunshine Cereal from Vocalpoint. Our whole family was surprised that they liked this new simple cereal from Kashi. Usually, if it is natural it isn’t very sweet. However, this cereal has just the right amount of sweetness to eat as a traditional cereal, for a quick snack, or to use as a topping for some other creation.

They are sweetened naturally with wildflower honey with no artificial flavors and includes only natural ingredients. Each serving is packed with awesome nutrition.

• High Fiber ~ 6g of Fiber from a combination of whole grains
• Whole Grains ~ 20g of whole grain – 33% of your daily needs
• All Natural ~ No artificial sweeteners, flavors or preservatives.

This is one natural cereal that your whole family will love!

We recently had the opportunity to try Mom’s Best Natural cereal in Honey Graham and Toasted Cinnamon Squares. Breakfast cereal is all that is made by Mom’s Made best and named in honor of their mother who taught the importance of good food and stewardship.

In our household cereal is a staple. Our stockpile usually consists of at least 10 boxes. If we get below that, the family is freaking. Mooooom -  we are out of cereal! So they know good cereal when they eat it.

I was at first surprised that the kids wanted to open a box of Mom’s Best because they usually go for the flashy packaging. Mom’s Natural has no toy in the box and no cartoon character on the box.  So how did they even know they wanted to eat it without a cartoon on it? I have no clue.  Maybe they actually read the label and say key words like “Honey” “Toasted Cinnamon”

It is comparable to the national brands in taste – one box was devoured at our house in just a couple of days, which says a lot because if the kids don’t like it, they won’t continue to eat it. We have a “grave yard” of half eaten undesirable cereal in our pantry!

I snuck a taste in between the kids scarfing them down. I thought the Toasted Cinnamon tasted exactly like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in taste, texture, and flavor. Now, the husband says he could “tell” a difference but couldn’t describe the difference. The only difference I could visibly see was the packaging.

So what else is to like about Mom’s Best Natural?

It is a bargain. Priced between $2.29 – $3.29 at Walmart, there is also a $1/1 coupon available which brings it down to  my target price for cereal even more because they are larger “Family Size” boxes. So your per oz. costs is even less.

Nothing artificial. Nothing artificial, no saturated fat, no hydrogenated oils, and no high fructose corn syrup. Made with only the highest quality ingredients.

Green. Mom’s Best Naturals cares about being good stewards of the environment.  They utilize many recycling programs throughout their company and use 100% recycled paperboard with a minimum 35% post consumer content. Over the years they have reduced the water used to make their products 41% and energy usage by 10%.
