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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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.
