General Mills has announced a commitment to further reduce the amount of sugar in their cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams per serving. That's good news for those of us whose kids are cereal-lovers! The company has already been reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and whole grains.
We've all heard about the studies that show the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office. You can learn more about this HERE.
General Mills, in partnership with My Blog Spark, has graciously sent me 4 VIP coupons good for FREE boxes of their cereal. This gives my family an opportunity to test out the new, lower-sugar offerings from General Mills.
I'd like to share two of those coupons with YOU! Each coupon is good for one FREE box of cereal ($6.00 or less). But before I tell you how to win, let me direct you HERE to print coupons good for $1 off one of 4 different General Mills cereals.
There are five ways to enter to win:

We generally eat cold cereal and it has to be high in fiber. We do love Honey Nut Cheerios in our house though and that would be our first General Mills pick.
