We are BACK at the Grocery Store...it is a habit!

GROCERY STORE TOUR ~ TIP OF THE DAY: 

Did you know that 1 level teaspoon of sugar = 4 grams? Let this guide your selections. 

Read ingredients....How many teaspoons of SUGAR in 1 serving of your Favorite Breakfast Cereal....COMPARE and make some changes if necessary!  Look at the 2 examples and learn how to figure the sugar content out.  Look UNDER carbohydrates and look at SUGARS amount in grams.   4grams = 1 teaspoon so do the MATH!

Cinnamon Cheerios ~ 9gm Sugar  =  about 2 teaspoons of sugar in each serving (1 cup), 5gm FIBER (look for at least 4grams) and 2g Fat.

Honey Bunches of Oats ~ 14grams of Sugar = 3 1/2 teaspoons of sugar per Serving (2/3 cup), 4grams Fiber and 7grams of Fat!           

WHICH ONE IS BETTER??  ONE MORE THING....  LOOK at the Ingredient List! 

 Cinnamon Cheerios has mostly ingredients you can pronounce!  The fat choices do not have the words Hydrogenated, Palm Oil or Coconut Oils.  Honey Bunches of Oats has a

 LONG ingredient list! 

 LESS ingredients the BETTER for processed FOODS! 

Anytime the words, Hydrogenated appears, the chemical structure of that fat has been changed from its natural form, making it hard for the body to break it down.     Honey Bunches of Oats does use a High Oleic Oil that is thought to be more shelf stable and has a higher level of monosaturated fats.

My pick is CINNAMON CHEERIOS if I had to pick between these two ~ I would recommend Oatmeal every morning, but reality is WE live in a fast and moving world and sometimes quick and easy is the only choice,
so make the best one! 
 I love GRAPE NUTS with Frozen or Fresh Blueberries! 

 There are much better choices out there..Kashi has great cereals!
