New Year New Food Finds

There have been reports of some interesting new finds out there, thought I would share a few:

Dulce de Leche Cheerios

A 3/4-cup serving has 100 calories, 1.5g fat, 135mg sodium, 22g carbs, 2g fiber, 6g sugars, and 2g protein (PointsPlus® value 3*).

  • 19g of whole grain per serving  which is 39% of the daily recommended amount of whole grain*
  • Saturated fat free
  • Naturally cholesterol free
  • Good source of calcium
  • Good source of vitamin

Also debuting this year?

Multi Grain Cheerios Peanut Butter cereal!

Indulge in real peanut butter taste without derailing your diet. With 16 grams of whole grain and 110 calories, Multi Grain Cheerios Peanut Butter offers delicious variety to your weight management plan*. Studies show that people who choose more whole grain tend to weigh less than those who don't.

Multi Grain Cheerios Peanut Butter is a delicious way to help you feel fabulous. Whole grain never felt—or tasted—this good.

*110 calories and 16 grams of whole grain as part of a sensible diet can help you manage your weight. (from the cheerios website)

** With kids(at least mine) anything with PB is a good thing!!

Crystal Light Energy Powdered Drink Mix

If you like a little boost along with your sugar-free beverage, this caffeine-enhanced product is for you, Wild Strawberry ,Grape and Peach Mango and Citrus! Each 1/2-packet serving (makes 8 oz.) has only 5 calories, so grab a box and mix it up. P.S. Word is that Crystal Light's limited-edition Mocktails will be added to the permanent lineup this year.
