Get The Best Of Both Worlds—Whole Grains And Fiber

Try these easy, great-tasting tips to make sure you and your family get the benefits of whole grains and fiber.

  • Jump start the day with a whole grain, high-fiber cereal. Enjoy a serving of Kellogg's® Frosted Mini-Wheats® cereal with fruit and fat-free milk.
  • Sandwich in some whole grains. Use whole-wheat bread, rolls, tortillas and pita pockets for lunchbox sandwiches.
  • Get snazzy with side dishes. Try a new whole-grain side dish such as quinoa, bulgur or whole-wheat couscous. Many are quick-cooking, too. If these are too "exotic" for your brood, start with more familiar brown rice.
  • Make kid-friendly pasta meals. They'll love whole-wheat spaghetti with tomato sauce or macaroni and cheese made with whole-wheat pasta elbows.
  • When you shop, "flip for fiber." Don't assume that a product made with whole grains is a good source of fiber. Flip the package to read the Nutrition Facts panel and check how much fiber a serving provides. At least 3 grams, or 10% Daily Value, is a "good source" and at least 5 grams, or 20% Daily Value, is an "excellent source."
