Make Back to School Breakfast Bearable With New Honey Kix !

Thanks to MY BLOG SPARK, we recently had the opportunity to review the new Honey Kix cereal.

Breakfast at our house during the school year consists of a waffle on the run, or if the kids and I got ready quick enough, a bowl of cereal and a piece of fruit.

I'm more of an old fashioned mom, as I refuse to buy my kids the sugary cereals on the market. Not to mention, Alex gets a little hyper after sugary cereal, chocolate milk, or anything that highly concentrated. Regular Kix is one of our staple boxes of cereal, and when I heard of the new, lightly sweetened Honey Kix, I was excited to have the opportunity to review it.

General Mills and My Blog Spark sent us a full Honey Kix kit with a travel cereal container, a plastic pantry storage box, a honey jar, a new Honey Kix at home ceral bowl, and our coupon for a free box of cereal. The kids were so excited to have Honey Kix for breakfast, so I took the coupon to the store so that everything would be set for the morning. I set up the coffee table as a mini bistro, with just enough time to take a picture before the kids dove in.
So, all three of us grabbed a bowl-full, and started munching. The texture of Honey Kix is a little different than regular Kix and although it's sweetened, it's only got 6 grams of sugar. It's made with real sugar, and brown sugar syrup, but contains no high fructose corn syrup. Honey Kix is a good source of fiber, calcium and vitamin D, contains 16 grams of whole grain per serving (at least 48 grams recommended daily) and has no artificial flavors or preservatives. A perfect balance of taste and nutrition through simple ingredients, which both moms and kids can agree on!

I was very impressed with the quality, value and taste of new Honey Kix, and think that it would make a good variety for our morning breakfast routine.
