Publix Breakfast Savings Event

We all know eating breakfast at home is always a great value, but did you know it can also be good for you, too?

February is American Heart Month, and to celebrate, General Mills and Publix are offering up exclusive savings on heart smart cereals like Raisin Nut Bran, Oatmeal Crisp and Whole Grain Total.

Platefull Co-Op invited me to participate in the Publix Breakfast Savings Event by incorporating a heart smart cereal into my morning routine for one week, and sharing my experience with my readers.

My mornings aren't always breakfast type mornings. I rush around starting at 6am, getting kids off to school. Some mornings, as soon as the littles are on the bus, we follow the bus down the street, and head out to appointments. Days like this, there is NO time for me to eat breakfast. But I still gave it a try.

The results, I was not nearly as sleepy on days that I was able to eat a bowl of cereal. What does that mean for me? A MUCH more productive day. By lunch time I wasn't dying looking for a nap. This is huge for me!

For my one morning that I could not sit down to eat a bowl of cereal, I took and added a bit of Oatmeal Crisp to a container of yogurt and ate it in the car on our way out. This cereal also was enjoyed by my 4 year old, out of a small zippered bag. He isn't a big milk fan, and that made his day!

So now, I challenge you, as I have been challenged! Add heart smart cereal into your daily routine for one week! Come back and tell me about it!!  To get you started, Publix is currently having a sale! Today is the last day to hit their sale, but shouldn't stop you from heading over any other time to buy!
