My children love chocolate cereals and, while I do let them indulge in the occasionally, I am always looking for a way to make their selections more healthy.
The people at Cheerios and MyBlogSpark sent me a Chocolate Cheerios gift pack so that my family could try them and they were a hit. They aren’t too chocolately and since they are made with real cocoa, they don’t have that “fake chocolate” taste that some other chocolate cereals have.
Chocolate Cheerios is low in fat, heart healthy, has 100 calories per serving, contains at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving (at least 48 grams recommended daily), and is a good source of calcium and vitamin D. Made with real cocoa, Chocolate Cheerios can help your family start the day off right with a delicious and nutritious breakfast that is sure to make you smile!
They also sent me a few recipes to try and I think I found a new favorite late-night snack:
Strawberry-Chocolate Cheerios® Parfaits
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Start to Finish: 15 Minutes
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
4 containers (6 oz each) Yoplait® Light Fat Free strawberry yogurt
2 cups Chocolate Cheerios® cereal
In 4 parfait glasses or clear drinking glasses, layer half of the strawberries, half of the yogurt and half of the cereal. Repeat layers.
Serve immediately
And now, you can enter to win a Chocolate Cheerios gift pack that includes a box of Chocolate Cheerios for you to try as well as a chocolate scented spa kit and a ceramic cereal bowl.

we start our day w/snuggles followed by breakfast and dinosaur train
We always share morning breakfast together. Despite it being very busy, it’s always nice to have an extra moment with my 4 kids together sharing a meal, that’s a smile to last all day!
I already subscribe to your e-mail! Thanks!!!!
The kids start their day with a couple table spoonfuls of Bird’s Nests soup. Then then can choose their breakfast from sandwich, cereal, or sometimes leftover dim sum.
We start our mornings around the kitchen table with fruit, cereal, oatmeal, milk, and coffee. It really puts a smile on my face when every family member is at the table for breakfast before everyone goes their separate ways. Thanks for the chance!

We start the day around this house with breakfast of cereal, toast and a glass of OJ. Seeing my children’s sleepy faces so innocent makes me smile.

We start out our day, by dancing around the house to some peppy music, which always brings a smile to my face. Then, I begin breakfast prep, while my toddler investigates her toy box.
