I live with 3 cereal monsters. Adam eats oatmeal every day and likes to snack on cold cereal. The kids like eating cold cereal any time of day. So when Nature's Path offered us samples of the products, I knew this family would be happy to oblige.
If you have ever set food in a health food store than you are probably familiar with Nature's Path cereals. All their products are organic and the company is committed to sustainability.
As soon as the kids saw the Sunrise Crunchy Vanilla they were excited, even though I don't recall ever buying them that variety before. They devoured the whole box quickly, eating it mostly as a snack by the handful. The 3rd ingredient is sugar, so it is definitely a treat (6g per serving), but at least it is high in fibre.
The Heritage flakes are a more adult cereal, but the kids liked them too (5g sugar per serving and even higher in fibre. Before they could get too far into the box, however, I used the rest to make Covered Katie's Butterfinger Bars. These were a huge hit!!
Adam took care of the Golden Turmeric Superfood Oatmeal. He was pleasantly surprised by how flavourful it is...this is high praise from Adam who doesn't usually get very excited about food in general. He still added his vanilla protein powder, but didn't need to add any additional sweetener, cinnamon or anything, and the oatmeal has absolutely no added sugars! Each packet also has 5g fibre and 5g of protein, but since Adam starts every day with an insane workout before breakfast, he ate 3 packets at a time!
Now I consider any sweetened cereal to be a treat, but the truth is that's all the kids will eat. So if they are going to eat them, I would much rather they be Nature's Path varieties that are at least organic and high in fibre.
They have many other varieties and the kids have pretty much loved all of them since they were little. Nature's Path products are definitely crowd-pleasers.
Disclosure: The company sent us products to try but all opinions on this blog are our own.
