Cheerios Cereal with Whole Grain Oats

Fortified with 12 Vitamins and Minerals

Everyone already knows and loves Cheerios because the ingredients are simple yet good. The real question is, do they know about the health benefits?

Cheerios have been a popular cereal for a long time. These adorable O-shaped bites offer 100% whole grain oats and contain a dozen essential vitamins and minerals. They're heart-healthy too and are low in saturated fat and cholesterol. There are three grams of fiber in each serving, and this breakfast bowl is a good source of iron and calcium.

What we love most about Cheerios is how customizable a bowl of them can be. Nothing hits the spot quite like cereal with cut up bananas, strawberries, and blueberries to add some fruity sweetness to the bowl.
