I finally gave up Special K

  • I am usually religious about reading labels, but Special K had been one area where I had a blind spot. Well this morning I realized it is just TOO sweet for me now & I finally really read the label.

    I am switching to a flax cereal with the same amount of calories. It still has some cane juice in it for sweetener but otherwise it's just much better with simple ingredients. I can put fruit or cinnamon on it and I think I can get used to it, at least it isn't sickeningly sweet.

    I was going to get a puffed grain cereal that has NO sugar in it at all, but some of the puffs look like maggots. Don't think I can get past that.
  • Nice - sounds good!
  • Sounds like a good switch. I love cereal with fresh fruit.
  • I really love mini wheats, just enough sweet, and it's got all the fiber to keep me full. It's a great snack for me, when I haven't eaten much.

    I have 2 boxes of special K, and I just haven't been eating it. But one of the kids likes one kind.
