Great Value Toasted O's Breakfast Cereal, 12 oz

Used to be a Cheerios fan, especially the cinnamon variety, but that had way too much added sugar. Even plain Cheerios has more sugar than this cereal. Despite oats being good for your heart, the added sugar is bad for your waistline. This has half the points (I'm on Weight Watchers), because it has far less sugar. Same crunch as Cheerios. To add natural sweetness, I top with blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries. I get the sweetness along with adding real fruit to my diet. Although I use Fairlife milk with the cereal, because it has half the sugar of regular milk, I also can use unsweetened almond milk as the fruit compensates for the reduced sugar in the cereal and almond milk. Price is a lot cheaper than Cheerios, too.

I wanted cheerios for my toddler, but I wanted to avoid added sugar. The Great value Toasted O's surprisingly turned out to be the best pick based on the nutrition facts. My toddler enjoys them and they're a low-cost snack, so I don't mind when some get wasted.
