Today, I’m sharing parenting advice on the best and worst cereals.  Are your kids bouncing off the walls after breakfast?  It could be that bowl of sugar that you placed in front of them this morning for breakfast.  My grandchildren like cold cereal, and it’s a great option when I don’t have time to fix breakfast.  I want them to eat healthy, so I decided to research the sugar grams in the cereal I was feeding them.

Needless to say, I was quite surprised when I came across the best and worst cereal list.  So, I thought I would share it with you. You too may be surprised by what’s on the list, and may think twice about what you serve your children for breakfast.

List of worst cereals for kids.

Here’s the list of best cereals:

• • •  Mini Wheats
    •  Life
    • Rice Krispies
    • Wheaties
    • Kix
    • Corn Flakes
    • Cheerios
    • Shredded Wheat
    • Honey Nut Cheerios
    • Grape Nuts
    • Special K

  Here’s the list of some of the worst cereals:  

• • • Honey Smacks
    • Apple Jacks
    • Fruit Loops
    • Crunch Berries
    • Cocoa Kripsies
    • Honey Bunches of Oats
    • Lucky Charms
    • Frosted Flakes
    • Fruity Pebbles
    • Cinnamon Toast Crunch
    • Trix
    • Raisin Bran

I love Honey Nut Cheerios and Raisin Bran.  I’m happy at least one of them made the Best Cereal List, Honey Nut Cheerios.  I give my grandchildren Honey Nut Cheerios, but they also love Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.   Thankfully, my grandchildren love oatmeal too.  Especially during the cold.  I also fix them a hardy breakfast of  pancakes or waffles, eggs and fruit.  Occasionally, I do fix sausage links with eggs.  My granddaughter is a fan of bacon too.  My grandson can take it or leave.

Does yours or your child’s favorite cereal fall into the Best or Worst list? Is the list making you rethink your cereal choice? It will definitely be a reminder the next time I’m in the cereal aisle and considering buying something different.
