Cheerios Nutrition
This tasty cereal is good for us because of the wholegrains it contains. American dietary guidelines recommend a serving of 48g of whole grains each day and just one 30g bowl of honey nut cheerios will give you just that.
They do contain a certain amount of honey although not in huge amounts, however as far as breakfast cereals go these are far more nutritional than most sugar laden cereals.
Pour 125 mls of ice cold semi-skimmed milk over your cheerios and you will start your day with approximately 360 calories of utter goodness. Include a cup of tea and honey and your system will receive a great boost which will see you through till lunchtime and help you acheive the health benefits of honey.
Eat them without the milk and you will only consume a third of these calories so a few eaten on their own makes for a nutritious tasty snack in-between meals if you are peckish.

How are Cheerios Made?
I just love it when kids ask questions like these but out of interest even I wanted to know how cheerios are made!
It appears the whole grain contents (mainly oats) are ground into a flour with small amounts of starch, sugar and salt. These ingredients are mixed with water to form a dough which are then shaped into little circles.
These little circles are then pushed through machinery (also called “dies”) which create the little “Os”
These are then partially dried and puffed up with high pressure steam which forces them to puff up, a bit like popcorn!
As the drying process continues they are sprayed with vitamins and coated with honey.
Who Invented Cheerios?
Originally called Cheerioats this invention apparently nearly didn’t happen! We have Lester Borchardt, a Minnesota physicist to thank for this invention. He worked at General Mills for 36 years and was responsible for revolutionizing the breakfast cereal industry.
Gosh this man was clever; he even developed a process to fortify milk with vitamin D. It is no wonder honey nut cheerios are so good with that bowl of ice-cold milk!
As far as breakfast cereals go cheerios nutrition is an excellent choice for us all and if you really do have to munch on a sweet snack then these are absolutely ideal.
