Total Protein
Hi everyone,
I was in the grocery store this afternoon and looked at the cereal. Total brand cereal has a high protein version that has some really good looking nutritional stats! 3/4 cup of cereal has:
110 calories
2.5 g fat
0 cholesterol
8 g total carbs
14 g protein
Now if you eat 3/4 cup ( very doable at almost 11 months out for me ) and add 1 cup carb countdown milk, you are looking at 26 grams of protein for the meal. PLUS the following:
Vitamin A 15%
Vitamin C 100%
Calcium 110%
Iron 100%
Vitamin D 20%
Vitamin E 100%
Thiamin 100%
Riboflavin 100%
Niacin 100%
Vitamin B6 100%
Folic Acid 100%
Vitamin B12 110%
Phosphorus 25%
Zinc 100%
Not too shabby! I tasted it and it is crunchy and lightly sweetened. ( 1 gram sugar per serving ) It's pretty good

Linda,
I bought some of this a couple of months ago, thinking that I had a craving for cereal. It has remained in my pantry unopened since. Crazy huh? So glad you reminded me about it. Better pull it forward and give it a go. But not for breakfast ... cause I am having another mock danish!!!
Only this time I am adding cinnamon, apple and pecans. Making my tummy hungry (okay my head hungry) just thinking about it!!!
Hugs,
Tammy
