Don't be like me, we let DD have fruit loops, and then I decided to try the fruit flavored cheerios and she won't eat them because they're not as sweet. So, I'd try those first, or honey nut cheerios, or there were banana nut cheerios at my store for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-somewhat-healthy-cereal#post-2810323 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 13:49:47 +0000 hellobeeboston 2810323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Berry Kix aren't TOO sugary </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-somewhat-healthy-cereal#post-2810317 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 13:37:27 +0000 BadgerMom 2810317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Special K red berries is a hit in our house. </p> <p>Or I like the mixing ideas above.

They have a few different flavors, and are delicious. I also like Special K with strawberries.

As in they will help themselves to the cereal cabinet and snack right out of the box. I love Frosted-Mini-Wheats, Multi-grain cheerios, the new Shreds and Frosted Flakes. Honey Bunches of Oats in any variety are hit-and-miss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-somewhat-healthy-cereal#post-2810301 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 12:43:04 +0000 erinbaderin 2810301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give my kids a mix of regular and chocolate cheerios - just enough chocolate cheerios to make them feel like it's a treat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-somewhat-healthy-cereal#post-2810300 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 12:41:38 +0000 tinyperson 2810300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen a lots of dietitians recommending All-Bran Multi-grain Crunch cereal. It's sweetened (8g sugar per cup), but has 6g of fiber and 3g of protein. It has a light maple syrup flavour. I usually mix that with regular cheerios.</p> <p>ETA: looks like it might only be available in Canada! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-somewhat-healthy-cereal#post-2810298 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 12:32:03 +0000 looch 2810298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rice Crispies come to mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-somewhat-healthy-cereal#post-2810297 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 12:30:03 +0000 peachykeen 2810297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get the peanut butter Puffins and DD also likes the cinnamon protein Cheerios. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-somewhat-healthy-cereal#post-2810296 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 12:29:02 +0000 threeplusme 2810296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could mix a cereal with a bit more sugar in with the cheerios. Alphabits are always fun. Or maybe even mix in some freeze dried fruit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-somewhat-healthy-cereal#post-2810293 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 12:23:03 +0000 jennlin821 2810293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I remember reading someplace that Kix were a relatively healthy cereal, or at least equivalent to cheerios nutrition-wise.<br /> I can't remember where I read it, maybe I'm making it up. But I think Kix are sweeter than cheerios, so maybe that will help her?</p> <p>Depending on your budget you can also try the expensive healthy brands... I don't know the actual brand but Puffins come to mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-somewhat-healthy-cereal#post-2810292 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 12:21:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 2810292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let my kids have the flavored Cheerios- either honey but or multi grain. They eat both way better than plain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-somewhat-healthy-cereal#post-2810291 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 12:21:15 +0000 mrsjd 2810291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Puffins!

I’ve been sending regular Cheerios but she is putting up a stink about wanting sugary cereal. My initial reaction is that if she’s not hungry enough for Cheerios then she’s not hungry but I know seeing other kids eat sugary cereals is hard. In the spirit of having an open mind, what cereals do you like that aren’t total junk? </p>
