Banana Nut Cheerios I love Cheerios!  I think it’s genetic, because my mom eats Cheerios almost every morning.  Now my favorite cereal has released a new flavor:  Banana Nut Cheerios!

Even if you don’t love Cheerios, you might find you like Banana Nut Cheerios, because it tastes nothing like the original.  It’s sweeter and tastes great!

Unlike the regular Cheerios, the first ingredient is whole grain corn, intead of oats.  Unfortunately, the second ingredient is sugar, meaning this is not something I’d feed my children every day.  But it’s OK for a once a week food.

The other thing that makes it a once a week food is the fact that it only has 1 gram of fiber per serving.  I always aim for 3 grams of fiber per serving in my breakfast cereals.  But again, I’m OK with serving it to my children as a special “Saturday Cereal.”

The Banana Nut Cheerios site has plenty of great ideas as to how you can use Banana Nut Cheerios in muffins, snack bars, parfaits, and more!  And right now you can get a 55 cent coupon by visiting the site!

    My favorite cereal topping would have to be, hands down, bananas. There is nothing as good as a bowl of bran flakes with a sliced banana. If I am eating oatmeal or other hot cereal, then just plain butter and a little milk complete it for me.

  2. Anna Says:

    My favorite cereal topping is a big scoopful of blueberries– delicious, plus loaded with antioxidants! Yum!

    My Favorite Cereal Topping to be honest with you is really Cinnamon and Sugar no matter what the Cereal Flavor is.

  4. Terri L. Says:

    My favorite cereal topping is blueberries. They are so good for you & taste great in cereal. Love them!

  5. Tanya Says:

    My favorite cerel topping is BANANAS. I love corn flakes with slices of bananas. However, I never eat milk on top of my cerel. Since I was a kid I have always eaten my cerel dry with a glass of milk on the side.

  6. Leslie M. Says:

    I’m pretty much a purist when it comes to toppings. I use Low Fat Vanilla Almond Breeze on my cereal and when I do add a topping it is YUM YUM Strawberries!!!!
