Puffins?

I probably know the answer to this, but am going to ask anyways....

Cinnamon Puffins is a cereal made out of Corn bran, not whole wheat. However, it meets the cereal guidelines of 6 g. fiber in a 30g serving and only 6 g. of sugars. It is only 100 cal and 1 g. fat. Plus, my dh is allergic to tree nuts and Fiber One Honey Clusters has traces of nuts in it, which means I can't have it in my house.

Would the Puffins be OK even though it is corn?

I figure the answer is probably no, but am asking hopefully anyways...

TIA,

Amy

Hi Amy,

This cereal meets the guidelines. 2/3 cup is a grain serving. Enjoy!

Jennie,
Since it meets the fiber guidelines it will be slowly digested and shouldn't cause blood sugar spikes. Whenever trying a new product you should always monitor for cravings.

i tried the peanut butter puffins cereal before but i got annoyed that the cereal melted in my mouth and didn't last long. i like my precious grain servings to last! so it was like a wasted grain serving but w/e!

Huh...I never had that problem.

The cinnamon flavor is usually crunchy and tastes great with skim milk mixed with a dash of lt vanilla soymilk. Plus, 1 serving is 1 grain. I noticed that with Fiber One with Honey Clusters the serving size is 56g so that is already 2 servings...

But, I will have to see whether I get cravings or not. That will be the big ??
