Disclosure: I am partnering with Kellogg’s for the #KChamps program for 2014. Even though I am compensated, all opinions expressed are my own. #CerealandMilk

With summer at an end now, and the little ones are head back to school. I always look for different ways to help my kids get through the school year. Even with my little five year old going to Pre-K this year I want it to be the best experience it can be. So, this year I am putting a little Dad flare into my kids lunch boxes! And, I will be the best Dad ever! I am send cereal for lunch!

Breakfast Cereal for Lunch

Yep, I said it! I am packing my five year old’s lunch bag with Kellogg’s To-Go Cereal Bowls and shelf stable milk. My kid is going to love this! All the kids in the lunch room are going to want cereal for lunch, and before you know it there will be tons of Tucan Sam cereal bowls on lunch tables.

Cereal for Lunch

Kellogg’s Ready-to-Eat Cereal

Kellogg’s Ready-to-Eat cereal bowls are a perfect portion for growing children. They are packed with nutrients our young ones need. When I was in New York City earlier this year, we had a chance to visit with Dr Stork. Travis Stork, M.D., is a board-certified emergency medicine physician and host of television’s The Doctors. He shared with the #KChamps that he is a huge believer grains and fiber in a persons diet. So, with just the right amount of grains and fiber, combined with a lowfat milk, the Kellogg’s Ready-to-Eat bowls are perfect for a lunch time treat.

Kellogg’s has more ready-to-eat cereals that are a good or excellent source of fiber than any other cereal producer in the U.S. (2009)

Also, any fruits go well on your cereal, from dried fruits, raisins, cranberries, to fresh fruits and berries that are now in season, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cut bananas. Any of them can be a tasty and nutritious addition.

So I feel comfortable mixing it up every once and a while, sending cereal for lunch instead of a sandwich is okay with me.

    Cereal has always been a great alternative for any meal. As a child, my Mother would let me eat cereal if I did not like what was being served, so as a Mom, I now let my children do the same 🙂

    I think it is a good idea. At least it will be eaten. I enjoy a bowl of cereal for any meal myself.

    Yes, I have sent cereal for lunch but I prefer to choose options that have a better nutritional profile and not as much sugar. I know we all make a variety of choices to balance our busy lifestyles though. It has got to be fun but with all the sugar in the options you have shared it would be challenging for any child to maintain sustained energy to get through the school day. I would look at those kinds of cereals as a dessert or a treat for a special occasion…few and far between.

    My husband and son are “Cereal Killers”, we have always had to have 10 boxes or so of cereal around, or they would fear we were running out! We’ve eaten cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner, an after school snack and/or while waiting for dinner to get ready after work, and a midnight snack. We are definitely a cereal family and constantly run out of milk. It’s all a good thing!

    Quick & easy. Put something nutritious in the body.

    Yes, great idea, my kids love cereal.

    I agree completely. Cereal for lunch is fine, but sugary cereals like Fruit Loops, etc. aren’t even good for breakfast; they belong in the desserts category.

    I wish! Maybe they’d stop bringing some of their lunch home! Lol

As I get older and wiser as a dad of 5, I realize parenting is mostly about preparation. That is why I am proud to partner with @TxDOT on educating my daughters about distracted driving.    As a young guy, I found myself preparing to be a dad, or at least a good dad. Now I find myself preparing my children to be good people and safe drivers on the road. Jaci and I have been going over distracted driving prevention tips and having a little fun with the new web-based AR game – Dart Those Distractions. It helps promote safe driving in a fun way.   Check out the link in my bio to play. #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ad
