General Mills Cereal Printable Coupon

11
Dec
Do you have cereal eaters in the family? We are pretty big cereal eaters, but it’s sometimes challenging to find ones that are healthier options… ones that are high in fiber and low in sugar. I could honestly eat cereal 3 meals a day… it’s my comfort food.
This week General Mills announced a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving. The company has already been reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain.

I am glad to see cereal companies making efforts to improve the nutritional value of breakfast cereal… fortunately my little one isn’t to the point of begging for the junky stuff yet, but maybe with all these changes I won’t have to be the mean mommy & say “no.”

As part of the BlogSpark community, I am able to bring you a great coupon to help you save on your family favorites. Right now if you visit here you will find a $1 off coupon for one of four General Mills cereals. So you can stock-up for the cereal lovers in your family.

Also, here’s some interesting facts about breakfast cereal…

Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children´s diets.

Other cereal benefits:

Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children´s diets.

Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child´s diet today.

More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.

Studies also demonstrate 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.
