Honey Puffs Cereal

Finding a cereal that is good when your tolerance is low is a challenge. The ones that are possibly suitable tend to be super sweet and over 60 mg for a small bowl. The low protein specialty cereals are so crunchy that they are not always a great choice for little ones. This cereal tastes just like Honey Smacks and is 36 mg for a FULL sized bowl. You can vary the flavors to your liking. For an Apple Jack flavor add pulverized freeze dried apples and cinnamon. For Cocoa Krispies, add 1/2 cup Ghiradelli Sweet Ground Cocoa. If you are looking for something a little more filling, I recommend adding some neutral fiber to the mix as well (I like Renew Life Organic Clear Acacia Fiber or Inulin).
