Banana Nut Cheerios Review and Giveaway

Posted by Connie
February 15, 2009

*CONTEST ENDED. WINNERS ANNOUNCED .*
Cheerios are one of the first foods parents give their children when they learn to pick up food and feed themselves. Whenever I see Cheerios I’m reminded of chubby little hands grabbing them off high chair trays. What memories! I also remember the taste and health benefits of this cereal.

I was given the opportunity to try Banana Nut Cheerios and was thrilled with their latest flavor. It is not an over powering banana taste, but just right. It reminded me of banana muffins. Bananas are one of my favorite fruits but one of the only foods to give me heartburn. Being able to have cereal with bananas, something I love, was a joy.

The health aspects of Cheerios continue with this flavor. One serving with skim milk contains just 150 calories. Made with whole grain, it is also a good source of calcium and can help reduce the risk of heart disease. It is low in fat, a good source of vitamin D and iron.

I would have to say the Banana Nut Snack Bars sound interesting. I’m not a Cheerios fan but maybe these would change my mind.

The banana nut snack bars sound great! Prep time being only 15 minutes you could have them made up quickly and then all you have to do is wait. I love bananas and I love Cheerios so I bet it’s a good combination. Mmmmm….makes me want to try them now.

Definitely the chocolate banana bread recipe! When I opened the site, the ad started playing and hubby said: “if you win me some banana bread Cheerios, I’ll win you some milk.” I thought that was pretty cute.

I would so totally try the “Tropical Banana Nut Parfaits” – although, I think I’d have to use blueberries or maybe raspberries instead (I’m allergic to strawberries!)
