General Mills Lowers Sugar in Cereals & a $1 off Coupon!

In college, I basically lived off cereal. I mean it was cheap, quick, easy, and there are so many varieties. Well now since I am a mom who is lucky to get breakfast for herself, I have grown to appreciate cereal even more. I especially love General Mills cereals as I grew up with them and now I can share them with my kids.

General Mills is making it an easier choice for your family as they have committed to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving. So far General Mills have started reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain.

Cereal Benefits:

• Cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters.
• Deliver important vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients.
• Account for only 5% of sugar in children’s diets.
• Is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child’s diet.
• More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.

Now to give you even more motivation to check out the new lowered-sugar General Mills cereals, you can print a $1 off coupon! I received the opportunity to try out the new cereals and I honestly couldn’t taste a difference, neither could my boys! I would have to say my favorite is Cinnamon Toast Crunch with Lucky Charms in a strong second! I love to that General Mills offers different sizes of the cereals so I can buy giant boxes of our favorites and a smaller box if we wanted to try something new.

COUPON: Print a $1 off coupon for one of four General Mills cereals – Trix, Cocoa Puffs, Lucky Charms, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

UPDATE: Just to clarify that cereals currently on shelves do not have the lowered sugar levels yet as they are still being developed!
