General Mills has introduced a new cereal named after a chain of workout facilities. I have to admit the name did not draw me in. However, after tasting the bumpy flakes, I was converted.
The whole grain cereal is a lot like "Wheaties" with small little "Special K" nuggets embedded inside. The cereal has just the right amount of sweetness without any of the artificial sweeteners I try to avoid.
One serving of "Curves Whole Grain Crunch Cereal" is 3/4 cup and has 100 calories , 0.5 grams of total fat, 2 grams of protein and 22 grams of total carbohydrates which includes 8% of the daily requirement of fiber (2 grams) and 4 grams of sugars. They advertise that the cereal has 16 grams of whole grain. Whole grain is a great weight loss tool. (Good for you and makes you feel full!)
The serving size is quite small. When I eat a bowl of cereal, it has quite a bit more than 3/4 of a cup. The cereal costs a little over $3.00 and also comes in a "Honey Crunch" flavor. The "Curves" product line also includes two flavors of granola bars, "Chocolate Peanut" and "Strawberries and Cream. "
The back of the box if full of motivational messages about exercise and the side panel even gives calories used per hour for fourteen activities. If these motivate people to get up off the couch and exercise, then I guess this is a good addition to the standard box information. I would definitely buy this cereal again. I could end up snacking on this cereal quite often and not feel very guilty!
