Uncle Sam Cereal – Review and Giveaway

I was contacted by Uncle Sam Cereal a few weeks ago to try their cereal. I had seen it in the natural foods aisle before and was interested. We love cereal at our house.

I got my box in the mail and poured myself a bowl. I did not like it. Now, this is me, but I like a little more sweetness than this cereal was offering. But, I didn’t hate it, so I pressed on for another way to use it. The next day, when I was packing my yogurt for work, I sprinkled some on top. By the time I ate my yogurt, all of the cereal was soggy and gross. Still, I wanted to give it another shot because the concept was good!

So, on day 3, I was home. I poured some cereal on the yogurt just as I sat down to eat it. It was fantastic! So, for about $3 a box, I have something I can sprinkle on my yogurt for a month that is healthy and tasty!

Because I won’t be able to accurately tell you the health info, I’m going to quote from Uncle Sam here:

100% Whole Grain – The “rolled berry” flakes in Uncle Sam Cereal preserve the natural fiber, nutritional value and flavor of the wheat, making every flake of Uncle Sam Cereal a true whole grain. Whole grains are a rich source of several vitamins and minerals, including antioxidants and phytochemicals, which may reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and the effects of aging.

Omega-3’s from Flaxseed – Nearly all of the fat in Uncle Sam Cereal is heart-healthy fat from flaxseed, which is one of the best sources of plant omega-3 “essential” fatty acids that cannot be made by the body. Flaxseed also contains lignans, plant compounds that influence human metabolism. Omega-3 and lignans may help reduce the risk of some cancers, heart disease and inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis.

High Fiber – A single serving of Uncle Sam Cereal contains a whopping 10 grams of dietary fiber (8 grams insoluble, 2 grams soluble). Fiber helps maintain blood sugar levels, which is important for those trying to lose or maintain weight and improve energy. It also may help reduce the risk of diabetes, aid in lowering cholesterol and promote regularity.

Want to try Uncle Sam (either as a cereal or a tasty yogurt topping)? It’s available at a store near you.
