With patriotic spirits soaring over the past few days, I thought it would be perfect timing to discuss U.S. Mills' cereal and instant oatmeal products -- easy and very tasty ways to increase your whole grain and fiber intake.
Three quarters of a cup of Uncle Sam's original cereal offers 10 grams of fiber (all derived from the ingredients, not added on for fortification), 7 grams of protein, and 0.5 grams of sugar in a 190 calorie package.
I do wish, however, that this cereal included ground flaxseed (as opposed to whole) for even more of a nutrition boost.
In any case, throw in some sliced bananas, add your milk of choice (dairy, soy, rice, etc.) and you have a filling, wholesome breakfast.
Their instant oatmeal with non-genetically modified soymilk, meanwhile, makes for a wonderfully convenient vegan breakfast.
Simply add water and enjoy...
160 calories
50 milligrams of sodium (that's 220 fewer milligrams than the same amount of Quaker instant flavored oatmeal)
5 grams of fiber
6 grams -- a mere teaspoon and a half -- of added sugar (50% less than Quaker flavored oatmeals)
7 grams of protein
... per packet.
