"To Doves That Love Breakfast Cereal"


Recently I tried the best breakfast cereal I have ever tasted! Strawberry Crunch from
Melaleuca, Inc. A plus for this product is it's Kosher.
 
To give you a little background, I usually buy oatmeal or Toasted Oats (Dollar General's brand of "Cheerios" for $1.50 but tastes better than the real thing). I am very cost conscious on cereals so it is a splurge for me to once in a while buy Kashi for my blood sugar. Also I don't buy cereals with sugar unless I can find one with plenty of fiber. As an aside note: Cheerios-like cereal, whole oats, lowers cholesterol better than oatmeal in thirty days.
 
My friends were raving about the taste of the Strawberry Crunch. Cinnamon Clusters is available too but the carb content is higher than I like. (My diabetic doctor wants each meal at 30 to 55 carbs. I keep it at 30 for weight loss.) I use organic milk and dilute 4 oz. with 1 to 2 oz. of water.
 
Now for the reason I was willing to pay more for this cereal. It is loaded with soluble fiber, herbs, antioxidants. Here are some of the wonderful ingredients:
 
Whole Oats, Psyllium husks, yogurt powder colored with beet juice, Aloe Vera leaf, Burdock Root (for blood, liver and digestion), Ginger Root, Peppermint leaf, Licorice Root (weight loss), Grape Seed, Green Tea, real strawberries, and more, including vitamines and minerals.
 
6 g. fiber. After deducting the fiber, has 27 g. of carbs per one cup serving.
 
If you would like a cereal that has more food value than the box it's packaged in, Strawberry Crunch is it. Makes a great dry snack too. If you crave crunch, it is much better for you than chips.
