We have a few staple cereals that are always in our house: corn puffs, oatmeal, shredded oat cereal and Puffins! I was thrilled when the maker of Puffins, Barbara's Bakery, contacted me to do a giveaway.Puffins cereal is delicious and nutritionally excellent. For some highlights of the nutrition facts: each serving has 3 - 5 grams of fiber and only 5-6 grams (only about one teaspoon worth) of sugar per serving.
Why worry about how much fiber? Fiber helps to slow the digestion process in the body, which can enhance nutrient absorption and balance blood sugar levels. Plus fiber helps to lower cholesterol levels and promote heart health!

In our house, we have a little guy who (much to my dismay) has a wicked sweet tooth! So needless to say, he LOVES the Chocolate and Peanut Butter Puffins and I love them too because they have about half the sugar as compared to other 'chocolate' cereals, which typically have 10 - 12 grams (or more) sugar per serving, which is equal to about 3 teaspoons of sugar.
I also recommend these cereals to the pro athletes that I work with because of the fiber, lower sugar content, and great taste! Quick tip for athletes: have a bowl of Puffins with a sliced banana and low fat milk for a pre-workout breakfast or post workout snack!

Another personal favorite from Barbara's Bakery are Shredded Spoonfuls, which are delicious stirred into yogurt, with milk, or just as they are for a snack!
