Banana Nut Cheerios {Review & Giveaway}

Good Morning!  I’m starting my day off with the new Banana Nut Cheerios – yum!  Cheerios has always been a family staple with us.  For as long as I can remember, I saw my dad start every day, almost without fail, with a bowl of Cheerios and the newspaper (and to this day, he still loves his Cheerios!).  In fact, he often added slices of bananas to his, so I suspect he is really going to love this newest selection from Cheerios!  When my son moved past pureed baby food and on to more solid foods, Cheerios was (and still is) our top snack choice. 

I haven’t always made the healthiest choices for myself though. I like lots of flavor and have quite the sweet tooth (shhh), so I was very excited to try out the new Banana Nut Cheerios.  It certainly doesn’t lack in the “full of flavor” department!  I’m now torn between the Multigrain Cheerios (which I also love) and the Banana Nut Cheerios (but since I usually stock up during “buy one get one free” sales, I’ll probably just get both!). 

Banana Nut Cheerios® combines the whole grain goodness of Cheerios® with the great taste of real banana – a breakfast your whole family will love! Even better, Banana Nut Cheerios® cereal is a good source of calcium and Vitamin D, and is made with whole grain. It may reduce the risk of heart disease as part of a heart healthy diet.* Visit Banana Nut Cheerios for discount coupons, great recipes and additional information.

General Mills sent over a box of Banana Nut Cheerios, two cereal bowls, a fruit basket with banana tree, and a loaf pan for making banana nut bread.  I’ve pretty much polished off the cereal, lol, and will be making use of that loaf pan very soon (we love banana nut bread! Anyone have any great recipes?). 

I want you to do a taste test of the newest Cheerios flavor… and General Mills does too!  They have generously provided three gift packages as a giveaway!
