Are You Having Dessert for Breakfast?

Good morning everyone,

Speaking of morning, what did you have for breakfast?

For most people, they will have a bowl of some type of cereal. Even though the marketing team did a great job of making the box look nice and healthy, is it?

Most cereal that you may give you child, if you have children, or that you are eating yourself, has just as much if not more sugar than a twinkie in just a one cup serving! That is about 20 grams or 5 teaspoons of sugar!

What can you do if your favorite cereal is packed with sugar? You do have a couple options! You can mix the high sugar cereal with some plain, ex. honey nut cheerios with plain or have plain cheerios and add some fruit to the mix!

A great cheat meal could be you favorite cereal after dinner instead of cakes,ice creams, etc. Just remember to use low-fat, skim or my favorite almond milk.

Here are the top 10 cereals packed with the most sugar!

1) Kellogg's Honey Smacks -- 55.6 percent

2) Post Golden Crisp -- 51.9 percent

3) Kellogg's Froot Loops Marshmallow -- 48.3 percent

4) Quaker Oats Cap'n Crunch's OOPS! All Berries -- 46.9 percent

5) Quaker Oats Cap'n Crunch Original -- 44.4 percent

6) Quaker Oats Oh!s -- 44.4 percent

7) Kellogg's Smorz -- 43.3 percent

8) Kellogg's Apple Jacks -- 42.9 percent

9) Quaker Oats Cap'n Crunch's Crunch Berries -- 42.3 percent

10) Kellogg's Froot Loops Original -- 41.4 percent

Thanks for reading and remember read the labels before you put something into your body! Sugar stores as fat, the more sugar the more fat!
