How do you get fiber in your diet? My husband LOVES apples but Michigan apples are only good from September until maybe March–April in a good year. He feels the difference between apple season and not apple season.
I was sent some Kellogg’s FiberPlus Antioxidants cereal to try as part of a campaign through BlogCritic. I was sent two flavors– Cinnamon Oat Crunch and Berry Yogurt Crunch. We loved the taste. In fact, my family loved it so much that I almost didn’t get to taste the Cinnamon Oat Crunch before they devoured the whole box. It was gone in 2 days.
The Cinnamon Oat Crunch had a great texture and stayed crunchy for longer than expected. It had a great cinnamon flavor, too. The Berry Yogurt Crunch had a fabulous strawberry smell that wafted out of the box when we opened it. I’m not a fan of berry or yogurt cereals but loved his one. It wasn’t too sweet and it provides a huge chunk of necessary fiber.
My husband was so happy with the extra fiber that the two boxes that were sent were decimated in 4 days. He also requested that I buy more.
There is a downside. After 6 days of FiberPlus in a row, well, my dear husband went on strike — he wasn’t eating anymore. He had such bad stomach pains from bloating (and lets not talk about the noises in our house) that he couldn’t take it. There IS a warning label on the bars that tell you to gradually increase fiber intake and they are there for a reason. I’ve found though, that eating some cereal or a bar every other day wasn’t too bad for me.
Buy It!
You can buy Kellogg’s FiberPlus Antioxidants cereal at groceries all over the country.
