They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Well, if that's true, some breakfast cereal manufacturers need to get on the stick, at least according to most nutritionists. We will see some of what is available to the typical family.
The sad truth is, most breakfast cereals are pretty much empty calories, at least you buy in the box. Oh, there are exceptions, but you really need to find them as the most common is pretty much breakfast cereals marketed to children. To see how this is true, one need only walk down the cereal aisle at your local supermarket and see some of the more popular titles.
If you have been watching TV since the 1960s to be sure you hear Tony The Tiger scream, "They're Great!" He, of course, talking about Kellogg's Sugar frosted flakes. This is one of the cereal that can send children into sugar stroke without even blinking an eye. This is not surprising that children will be hyper at the school throughout the day. And of course the list of these children go on forever cereals with a title like "Sugar Pops", "Sugar Smacks", "Corn Pops", "Count Chocula", "Frankenberry", "Booberry", "Cocoa Pebbles", "Captain crunch "," cheerios, "" Honey Nut cheerios, "" Trix "," Lucky Charms "and the ongoing and deep. It's like a military invasion only to check each box, with more sugar than the other.
Fortunately, there are some decent cereals out there. For health nuts there are enough nutritious titles such as "Golean", "Golean Crunch," "Wheaties", "Cream of Wheat", "Farina" and other similar types. Cereals this does not have nearly as much as sugar and various kid tested many of them are even high in fiber, such as Kashi's Golean and Golean Crunch which has eight and ten grams of fiber each. They still have a small amount of sugar, but compared with the kid cereals, they're much better.
Of course you have hot and cold cereals. Most of the above you only from the box, put a little milk and some fruit cold variety. But on the day of the cold winter there is nothing like nice hot bowl of cream of wheat flour or potatoes. If you want something fast that really is the whole line Quaker Oats oatmeal cereals. All this comes with a variety of added ingredients such as maple sugar, apples, peaches and cream, and others. This is easy. Just open the package, throw it in the cup or bowl, add water and pop in the microwave. Approximately one minute you've got yourself a hot cup of oatmeal. Packages that small and does not really make a lot so if you have a big appetite you may want to create some of this.
Finally, the breakfast cereal manufacturer will surely realize that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and they will start making cereals that you will not know your children's first meal in the morning.
