Healthy Breakfast Cereal is a Part of My Lifestyle Plan

I’ve discussed many of the benefits of eating cereal as part of my healthy breakfast plan. General Mills commissioned a survey in 2009 of DC area parents and 54% of the parents said they or another parent decide what their children eat for breakfast.

Each morning my children choose what they want for breakfast, but I make sure they have many healthy options and that includes healthy cereal. I figure if I only offer healthy options, my children will make healthy choices.

Healthy Breakfast Facts

Here are a few more interesting facts about breakfast:

• Cereal is one of the healthiest breakfast options you can make
• Packed with nutrition, cereal provides a great choice for breakfast
• Studies have shown that kids who eat breakfast tend to perform better in school and have fewer disciplinary problems. They also have shown that breakfast also tends to help kids stay alert. (I have seen this firsthand with my kids.)

Healthy Breakfast Choices

So, it is your job to be sure your children have healthy breakfast options available to them each morning. I also show my kids that breakfast is important by eating a healthy breakfast every morning.

Disclosure: I received a healthy breakfast gift pack from General Mills through MyBlogSpark. All opinions are 100% my own.
