I had the opportunity to review an awesome Fiber One® gift pack provided through MyBlogSpark. It included a box of Fiber One 90 calorie bars, a water bottle, a Fit and Healthy journal, pedometer and glow in the dark wrist band. Let me tell ya- the bars taste great and I feel full after eating one. I love them and my son likes to take them as a snack at school. And at 90 calories I can actually eat them and not feel guilty!! They also give my sweet tooth it’s fix. That’s important.

Available in flavors you“ll love, including chocolate and chocolate peanut butter, Fiber One 90 Calorie Chewy Bars contain 2.5 grams of fat. In addition, each serving is packed with five grams of fiber (20 percent of the daily recommended fiber intake, according to the Institute of Medicine), which can help keep you full, making sticking to a diet easier.

I’d like to offer you a chance to win this same awesome gift pack!! Doesn’t that sound great??

My family is a huge cereal eating family. It’s not just for breakfast at our house. We eat it for snacks- dry or with milk. We eat it for dinner, lunch, whenever. I was happy to learn that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters. Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children´s diets.This is all great information because now instead feeling like a lazy mom for feeding my kids cereal for every meal, I can say it’s good for their health! haha

Other cereal benefits:

• Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children´s diets.
• Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child´s diet today.
• More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.

A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office. Clearly I needed to eat cereal more often as a child. If you visit General Mills site you can learn lots about the benefits of cereal! And right now if you visit here you will find a $1 off coupon for one of four General Mills cereals. Enjoy!!

I’m a cereal freak.  Seriously. My whole family is.  On vacation in Florida we went thru 9 boxes of cereal, including Honey Kix. This was my 1st time to try Honey Kix. My Blog Spark sent me a cool prize pack that included a coupon for a free box. I REALLY liked it! I have always been a fan of Kix. “We like Kix for what Kix has got. Moms like Kix for what Kix have not…” Yeah, I’m a  dork. Anyway… I was pleasantly surprised with Honey Kix and will most definitely be getting them again.

My Blog Spark is giving me the opportunity to let one of my readers win the same really cool prize pack I got.
I REALLY loved this kit. My fave things besides the coupon for free cereal? The cereal container and the container to take your cereal on the go. Check it out- the botton part can be put in your freezer, then when you want to take cereal you put milk in the frozen part, screw it into the bowl part- which includes a folding spoon. Isabel immediately said “I can take cereal to school for lunch now!!” (Cereal freaks, remember??)

Anyway… it’s YOUR turn. I WANT you to win this!! So, here’s what I want you to do:

MAIN ENTRY: What’s YOUR fave cereal? Just tell me in a comment and you’re entered. SUPER EASY!!
