Trade Up Tuesday: Cereal Favs!
Welcome to Trade Up Tuesday – everyone’s favorite day here at A Better Bag of Groceries because every Tuesday I rattle on about a Trade Up I’ve made since learning about NuVal and I give away something for free. Today, I’ve changed things up a bit. These two cereals are not my Trade-Ups. Rather, they are two varieties that I have noticed people just go crazy about – no matter what the NuVal score!
First, let’s talk about Kashi Autumn Wheat.
Back in March, you may remember that I spent the day out at Price Chopper’s Healthy U Open House. I had such a fun day, helping shoppers trade up for better nutrition using NuVal scores. Seriously, while my husband was back at home, single-handedly shuttling the kids through the Saturday routine of basketball, ballet, Cub Scouts and birthday parties, I was having a blast chatting it up with the Price Chopper Shoppers. That day, Price Chopper had a special coupons – I believe you had to buy 4 boxes of any Kashi cereal – and it was then that I noticed that people go crazy over Autumn Wheat. Really crazy! Every shopper who came down the aisle was looking for Autumn Wheat. Price Chopper could hardly keep it in stock. With a NuVal score of 40, it does pretty well for cereal. Cereal scores range from 2 to 100, and the average score is a 27. There are other Kashis that score better than Autumn Wheat, but I wonder if they are as popular?
Carrots N Cake fans remember when Tinacame on board with NuVal last October. One of the very first questions she asked me was how Peanut Butter Puffins scored on the NuVal scale.
Turns out – she’s a big fan. Tina has this Oprah-like effect. That means, if she likes it, so do her readers. So, I imagine that there are a whole lotta CNC fans out there munching on their PBPuffins as they get their daily dose of Tina. Unfortunately, these fav Puffins score a little under average. Boo! Add some skim milk (NuVal score of 91) and fresh blueberries (NuVal score of 100), and you’ll feel a whole lot better about that!
Today’s Giveaway
One lucky reader will win these Favorite Cereals. All you need to do is leave a comment below telling me your favorite cereal. You can leave a second comment (and enter twice) if you know the NuVal score for that cereal. I’ll choose one lucky winner at 7 am EDT on Wednesday. Good Luck!

Hmmm, my favorite cereal. The only time I eat cereal is when I mix it with my yogurt. So my favorite is the Kashi Autumn Wheat. I like the way it gets a little soft on the outside but stays crunchy on the inside, when you mix it with yogurt.

Well, my FAVORITE cereal is Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but it is so loaded with sugar that I haven’t eaten it in YEARS. My favorite “adult” cereal is either plain ol’ Cheerios or Kashi honey golden flax (or something like that). It’s DELISH!

on Aug 10th, 2010 at 5:38 pm
Kashi Autumn Wheat and Peanut Butter Puffins just happen to be my two favorite cereals! Kashi Golden Sunshine is also delicious, and I have no idea how it has so much fiber in it. It tastes more like cereal for kids than a healthy one.
on Aug 10th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
I love cereal anytime and anykind! I really love, Honey Bunches of Oats with Strawberries, Honey-Nut Cheerios, and of course PB Puffins or Resee Puffs!! Yay for cereal!!!

on Aug 10th, 2010 at 5:57 pm
My REAL favorite cereal is a discontinued bluberry pecan cereal that Newman’s Own made. I miss it! But since then, I like their Honey Flax Flakes Cereal and the new Multigrain Puffins (at least they’re new to my grocery store).
on Aug 10th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
Hmm I love ALL cereal, but my favorite is Kashi Honey Sunshine–its the cheaper version of puffins to me. I loove Puffins but they are just too pricey for my college student budget!

on Aug 10th, 2010 at 6:39 pm
Hmmm. I am eating a lot of oatmeal lately…but when I ate cereal I was a whole-wheat cheerios gal.
Is this open to Canadians? Because I’m Canadian (aka awesome)
on Aug 10th, 2010 at 6:44 pm

I like almost any type of granola as cereal, but instead of milk I like it with applesauce.

Mmm! I love Kashie’s Blueberry Clusters

I LOVE Barbara’s shredded spoonfuls. It’s FULL of fiber but less sweet than life cereal!
on Aug 10th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Peanut butter puffins ARE my favorite cereal! When I’m trying to make them healthier, I add strawberries or banana. But when I really want to splurge, I add chocolate chips

I’ve never tried these PB Puffins, but I used to LOVE Reese’s PB cereal! My favorite cereal now is Frosted Shredded Wheat. Has to be that brand, Frosted Mini-Wheats are NOT as good!
on Aug 10th, 2010 at 9:39 pm
I lerve me some Kashi Go Lean. Healthy, filling, tasty. What more do you need?!
OH and any cereal PB flavored!! I like to mix!
on Aug 10th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
I love Kashi GoLean Crunch and Cinnamon Toast Crunch (not so healthy).
on Aug 10th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
My favorite cereal pre-healthy lifestyle was Count Chocula. Now, I’m a big fan of Kashi Go Lean.
on Aug 10th, 2010 at 9:48 pm
My favorite is Kashi GoLean Crisp with berries mixed in!
on Aug 10th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
I love honey bunches of oats, cinnamon puffins, and honey kix! I’ve been meaning to try PB Puffins for forever now though!

Kashi warm cinnamon
on Aug 10th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
definitely growing up it was cinnamon toast crunch but since then ive really grown to like the taste of nature’s path heritage flakesscore=38) or multigrain cheerios (score=34) (with bananas or blueberries of course!)
on Aug 10th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
Peanut Butter Puffins and Kashi Autumn Wheat are actually my two favorite cereals. Some other favs are Special K Red Berries and Barbara’s Bakery Shredded Spoonfuls, which is soooo delicious and addicting!

on Aug 10th, 2010 at 10:20 pm

on Aug 10th, 2010 at 10:30 pm

I love Kashi Go Lean in my yogurt, but sometimes I just crave Quaker Oatmeal Squares!
on Aug 10th, 2010 at 10:50 pm
Definitely Peanut Butter Puffins!! Sadly they will not be showing up in my pantry any time soon. I just got married and I think they are a little out of the budget. Oh’s are also pretty freakin awesome!

I love peanut butter puffins…I was saddened when I realized that they couldn’t have a high score when my husband pointed out that they taste like Cap’n crunch cereal!!
on Aug 10th, 2010 at 11:24 pm
I love Life cereal! Not such a great score, however…
on Aug 10th, 2010 at 11:24 pm

on Aug 10th, 2010 at 11:31 pm
I LOVE PB puffins… so much so that I rarely buy them because having them in the house is quite dangerous, they’re such a great anytime meal/snack that I can go through a box in no time! Other than puffins, I do also really like Kashi Go Lean Crunch… so good!
on Aug 10th, 2010 at 11:34 pm
Go lean crunch…score of 33 or any of the natures path granolas

Well I’m too late to win but that’s ok.. .got to check out your blog and now add you to my list of blogs to read! Yay! I’ve been dying to try the PB Puffins. I love PB but really avoid it a lot (I think it’s psychological) wait… or psychotic? Probably the latter. LOL But I’m anxious to try them!
on Aug 15th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Okay, first fave healthy: Ezekial 4:9 golden flax! Some may say it tastes like cardboard but i DREAM of it on my runs!!
