Kellogg’s Froot Loops And Apple Jacks Now Have Fiber
Did you know that 9 out of 10 adults and children do not have enough fiber in their diets? Kellogg’s knows it and is doing something about it – they’re adding fiber to some of their breakfast cereals. RB and TJ love cereal. TJ even eats it dry for a snack at times. I have seen them eat it at all hours of the day – for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Two of their seemingly many favorites are Froot Loops and Apple Jacks, which happen to be the first two cereals that Kellogg’s updated. Apple Jacks and Froot Loops cereals now have three grams of fiber per serving. The fiber comes from ingredients such as whole-grain corn flour, whole-grain oat flour, oat fiber and soluble corn fiber.
You know how some kids (and adults) are – if you tell them a food is good for them or has something in it they don’t want to eat it. We were sent four boxes of cereal – two of each cereal, one with fiber and one without, and asked to compare. RB and TJ relished the challenge, and even I had a couple of spoonfuls. We all agreed – the cereals looked, felt and tasted exactly the same with and without the fiber. With no need to fear a new recipe, people can still enjoy these cereals and benefit from having more fiber in their daily diet. Kudos to Kellogg’s for adding something good for you without changing the taste people love. Kellogg Company also plans to extend the added fiber benefits to their other cereal lines over the next year.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Kellogg’s and received boxes of Froot Loops and Apple Jacks and a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Most cereals taste to me more like sugar than anything else.
