Lucky Charms Cereal
By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Sep 26, 2005
Before I rushed out and got my own though, I checked out the nutrition. First things first - the sugar! Cereals can have a lot of sugar in them - yes parents, it's a conspiracy to make your kids hyperactive - just kidding - not really. But this only had 13 grams per 1 cup serving. That's not bad at all. It's about half as much as you find in most fruit juices. There are also 120 calories, no fat, low sodium and 10 - 25% of many, many vitamins and minerals. And, just in case you haven't heard the buzz yet, all General Mills cereals are now made with whole grains. Taste:

It might just be me, but I never thought of Lucky Charms cereal as a healthy choice. Thank goodness that I tried this and it was totally by accident. I was hungry and my roommate had this cereal handy. The cereal has a sweet taste, but not too much so, but what really makes this yummy are the little baby marshmallows in it. You are eating, crunching on some good tasting cereal, and then you feel a small amount of sweet, chewy, soft, delicious, marshmallow-y stuff. It's a great combination, even if you are not a big fan of marshmallows. I loved it so much, I went out and bought my own box.

Lucky Charms is a pretty great option at only 2 Weight Watcher points. I like to mix it with All-Bran for a total of 4 points. I call the combo "the sacred and the profane."
