The Haunting of Kids' Cereals


This sad day has finally come.

No more eating kids' cereals! Actually, the day came back in October when I swore allegiance to my nutritional lifestyle plan but the truth of it sunk in last night at the grocery store. I've been eating my weight in Raisin Bran, Shredded Wheat, and Grapenuts and truthfully, I've gotten a little bored with my choices. So when I saw the giant display for Golden Grahams sitting comfortably next to the Shredded Wheat, my heart sunk deep into my chest. I so wanted to buy a box and consume it in one sitting. I flirted with danger as I picked up the shinny rectangle. I tried to justify purchasing it by repeatedly looking over the colorful banners emphasizing its nutritious minerals and vitamins, but my conscience shot back with "stay true to the course" logic.

I put down the box and shuffled over to the Shredded Wheat section... "looks like it's just you and me", I thought as I added the rusty-brown cereal to my cart. {sigh}

Most ALL of the processed food we eat is laced with sugar isn't it?!

Because I'm SURE your soliciting breakfast suggestions...

Red River Cereal (hot) with expeller-pressed flax seed oil and Honey or Maple Syrup (Mmmm, Mmmm, good!) Was recommended to me at a fitness retreat center in Canada. Don't forget the eggs (protein).

Bananas, organic plain yogurt (Brown Cow brand is the Best!) and granola sweetened with Maple Syrup (rather than sugar).
