Van’s Cereals- Not Just For Breakfast !
I love to eat healthy. And…I try hard to pass the healthy eating bug along to all members of my family. Sometimes, it’s hard to do, especially when have so many yummy sounding snacks out therein the foodie world. It’s a good thing that we have wonderful food companies out there like Van’s to keep a look out, though!
Van’s has a huge variety of delicious foods that are out for families like yours and mine to enjoy. Right now, they have added two new cereals that are hitting the shelves.
Did You Know ??
Contrary to popular (and my own) beliefs, cereals are not for breakfast. They can make some pretty delicious snacks,too! Both Blissfully Berry and Cocoa Sensation cereal are great with milk or yogurt, but add a tasty twist in easy recipes like Crunch Chocolate-Banana Sweet-n-Salty Snack Mix and PB & Berry Blast Snack Mix (recipes below). Each serving of cereal brings 17 grams of whole grains and 5 grams of fiber — all without artificial flavors, high fructose corn syrup, egg, dairy or corn. Want to know how to make one or both of these tasty snack treats? Check out the recipes below!

They make great gf foods my son with celiacs disease can enjoy.
I really enjoy teas so these organic teas look perfect to help with me relaxing at home right now i could use some!
I love that this is a better, healthier choice that is also just as delicious.
I haven’t tried the coco and berry cereal’s yet, I have had the frozen waffles, crackers and snack bars and love all of them.
I love Van’s because it’s a name I can trust, there products are nutritious and tasty. I also like that they are readily available in my favorite grocery store and I don’t have to go hunting for them.
I don’t know what I like most about Van’s foods; I only see them on the computer.
We don’t have Vans in NorCal, but I sure wish we did so I could see a more variable shopping experience
I like that I would not feel guilty eating their food. They have an extremely wide variety of products. Regarding the cereal, I would really like to try the Berry one. Thank you

I am all about what they use to make their cereals, Each serving of cereal brings 17 grams of whole grains and 5 grams of fiber. And what they don’t use artificial flavors, high fructose corn syrup, egg, dairy or corn.
I like that they use quality ingredients.
