With every spoonful, cereal and milk has protein to help rebuild and grains to help recharge your body.
Kellogg’s is a famous American brand, practically a household name, and we wouldn’t be surprised if most of you knew that Kellogg Company is based in Battle Creek, Michigan!
Not only is cereal an excellent source of nutrition for all ages, but it’s a good gateway for milk consumption. Over 41% of the milk consumed by our kids is via the cereal bowl and this may cause us to look at the humble cereal box with renewed respect.
And so, we’re pleased to feature Kellogg’s Cereals this month!
Want to find out how cereal stacks up in nutrition? Designed by the Kellogg Company to complement USDA’s MyPlate, Kellogg’s MyBowl™ uses colored bands to show how a meal of breakfast cereal can deliver servings from the grain, dairy and fruit groups. Grab your bowl and learn how to make the most out of breakfast.
