If your kid is like mine, he (or she) changes their taste in cereal almost weekly. In order to promote healthy eating and avoid starting the day with a meltdown, I find it handy to have a variety of organic cereal on hand at all times.
That’s where Nature’s Path comes in. They have been steadily growing their selection of organic breakfast cereals over the years so that now whatever your taste – hot, cold, sweet, natural – there’s something to try. Here are a few of the favourites around our house:
Organic Hot Oatmeal Variety Pack
These are instant, tasty and varied. Flavours include apple cinnamon, flax and oats, maple nut, and multigrain raisin.
Optimum
This is a more power-packed cereal with extra fiber and protein, fortified with vitamins and soy isoflavones. A good selection of grains too, with flax flakes, puffed kamut grains and loose flaxseed. Plus organic cinnamon flavour. Mmmmm!
Hemp Plus Granola
OK, I’m a hippie. But this stuff is good! Whole grain, organic and low-sodium too. Groovy.
Organic Whole Grain O’s – GLUTEN FREE!
For parents with kids who have gluten sensitivities or wheat allergies, it can be a real pain to find cereal options. This is a variation on the classic ‘O’ made with organic corn and whole grain rice that brings the fun back, especially as little toddler finger food.
Nature’s Path makes their products in 3 locations: Delta, BC; Blaine, WA; and Mississauga, ON. Their home office is located in Richmond. BC, where they have an on-site organic garden, some really big compost bins, a rooftop garden, and a rainwater harvesting system.
That’s a pretty real Green Deal!
