Kix is the kids cereal thats been around for over 70 years. It not long ago went through what selling professionals call the brand refresh. See the brand brand new package picture above.
The package promises Kid Tested, Mother Approved. So we had two fooducate community members receive the sample box to try with their kids (and get their approval), whilst we went over the nutrition information.
Heres what Laura, the mom with 4 kids wrote: First, we totalled the recommended 1 1/4-cup portion of Kix cereal with 1/2-cup milk. Then we let my 4 kids, between ages 5 as well as 12, run with it. Being an entirely brand brand new knowledge for them, these have been the couple of of the things they pronounced whilst eating:
Well, its unequivocally sweet.
It tastes similar to corn.
Its flattering basic, as well as we similar to that.
It tastes unequivocally honeyed during first as well as afterwards usually similar to corn.
I dont unequivocally similar to corn.
I could eat this everyday.
Overall, during the knowledge itself, my kids as well as we were satisfied. The cereal was fun to eat, easily crunchynot the singular to tear the roof of ones mouth apartand rsther than sweet. However, the serving distance was fast consumed, leaving 4 young kids looking around during each alternative as well as afterwards inside the cupboards as well as refrigerator. Just barely over the singular cup of the sweetly puffed cereal left my athletic as well as active kids still rsther than hungry. So, we upheld out the tangerine as well as planned for the heartier late-morning snack.
My own knowledge mirrors the kids. It was light, crunchy, rsther than sweet, as well as puffed corn for breakfast; fun to eat, though wholly unsatisfying by the end. But, this comes from the family which cooking oatmeal, pancakes, eggs as ! well as such for breakfasts. For us, cereal is the once-in-a-while treat, so, nonetheless we favourite the low-sugar levels of this brand, we would prefer some-more substance, some-more essential element perhaps. Or, maybe well usually supplement the little fruit as well as sausages upon the side, if we ever choose to eat Kix again.
Heres what Jessica wrote: we checked the tag first thing, as well as the sugarine content wasnt bad, however, the sodium was unequivocally as well tall for my liking. This alone would keep me from purchasing this product. we do not similar to the breakfast cereal to have some-more sodium per portion than potato chips. It bothers me.
Aside from the sodium being high, we thought this would have the great occasional busy snack. As in, something small, non messy, as well as easily portable which the child can snack upon whilst were upon the go. It tasted good, as well as the toddler really much enjoyed the handful here as well as there. Being usually 3 yrs old, hes not much in to cold cereal with divert yet.
I attempted it as the breakfast for the couple of days, as well as honestly, I was left really hungry an hour later. At which point we resorted to the total fruit to keep me feeling full until lunch. It unequivocally isnt the really estimable breakfast, certainly not something we want my child to rest upon for his morning meal.
I consider the remainder of the box will be added to the homemade sugarine giveaway yogurt with fruit arrange of the kix parfait.
What we need to know:
A portion distance is over the singular cup in size, though from the weight perspective is usually 1 ounce. Such is the voluminous inlet of puffed corn products. There have been usually 110 calories per serving. But as we can see from the reviews, the singular portion is not enough. ! If we be gin consuming twice or 3 times the portion size, the calories will supplement up.
Each comes with 3 grams of essential element (good) as well as usually 3 grams of sugarine (very great for the child cereal). The sodium equate is tall though 180 mg or 8% of the daily value.
This is the ingredient list:
Whole Grain Corn, Corn Meal, Sugar, Corn Bran, Salt, Brown Sugar Syrup, Trisodium Phosphate. Vitamin E (Mixed Tocopherols) Added to Preserve Freshness. Vitamins as well as Minerals: Calcium Carbonate, Iron as well as Zinc (Mineral Nutrients), Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate), the B Vitamin (Niacinamide), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B1 (Thiamin Mononitrate), Vitamin A (Palmitate), the B Vitamin (Folic Acid), Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3.
You can see which total grain corn is used, though not exclusively corn dish is additionally used. The ingredients have been easy to understand, up until the trisodium phosphate. This is the containing alkali used as food additive as well as additionally as the stain remover when painting. The rest of the ingredients have been fortifications of vitamins as well as minerals.
Bottom line: Of sweetened kids cereals, Kix seems to be the singular of the better options. If usually it were some-more filling.
PS: If youll take the demeanour during the box again, youll see the selling explain which we shrug off Made with all full of health corn. What does which mean? Corn is full of health isnt it?
What to do during the supermarket:
When shopping cereal, demeanour for the sugarine equate reduce than 6 grams AND the essential element equate higher than 3 grams. Avoid artificial colorings as well as partially hydrogenated oils (trans-fat). For some-more tips upon choosing the full of health cereal, download the giveaway ebook.
