Chocolate Cheerios (Giveaway) « The Post-It Place

Chocolate Cheerios (Giveaway)

February 3rd, 2010

Oh my goodness…If you love chocolate (and who doesn´t?), you will LOVE the new Chocolate Cheerios-with a perfect balance of whole grain goodness and a delicious touch of chocolate taste in every bite. These little buggers are fabulous. I am normally not a fan of chocolate cereals…they always taste too fake to me. And leave a weird aftertaste. But I do really like the new chocolate cheerios. They aren’t overwhelming if that makes any sense. They are perfect.

Chocolate Cheerios is low in fat, heart healthy*, has 100 calories per serving, contains at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving (at least 48 grams recommended daily), and is a good source of calcium and vitamin D. Made with real cocoa, Chocolate Cheerios can help your family start the day off right with a delicious and nutritious breakfast that is sure to make you smile!They also make a great snack to throw in a baggie and take along with you!

They have even came up with some great recipes using Chocolate Cheerios for you! Here are a few for you to check out:

We do oatmeal and cereal about five days a week. I love how easily content the kids are with homemade oatmeal and how long it lasts them during the day!

We start the day with a healthy breakfast. With the bellies full we hope everyone is smiling. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.

I am a follower. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway

We always start the day with breakfast,either cereal (Cherrio’s is a favorite, so would love to try the Chocolate), toast and peanut butter, english muffin toasted with low-fat cheese and a piece of lean meat, then put in the micro-wave for a few second.
Thanks for the contest.

Our waking up with a smile usually starts by waking up. We cosleep–my husband and I and our 2 yr. old daughter. Inevitably, she wakes up first and always starts off by babbling cute stuff and then saying funny things such as “Daddy’s ear hair!” and falling over in hysterical giggles (she finds my husband’s ear hair hilarious, especially when he hasn’t trimmed it in awhile–I know, gross!). So while we’re tired as can be, we always get a kick out of the things she says.

We start the day with a nice breakfast. Cheerios (usally the honey nut kind) is one of our favorites. The kids are on an oatmeal kick right now too. Chocolate Cheerios sounds good
Chocolate always puts a smile on my family’s faces

I put on upbeat music so we can be energized

Most mornings are chaotic but we always have a few minutes while we are waiting at the bustop for discussing what is ahead in their day and what’s going on in their lives. This is PRECIOUS time and even if we don’t talk we listen to music and enjoy that together.

Getting a good night sleep definitely helps my kids wake up happier and smiling

My morning starts out with a cup of coffee while talking to my daughters on the telephone. Sometimes one of them will call before I get out of bed, just to say “I love you Mom”. This keeps me smiling all day.

We homeschool, so our morning tend to be a bit slower than most people’s morning are. We smile just to see each other.

Start the day with a rule of no arguing at the breakfast table and everyone is in a much better mood!

We always eat breakfast together in the morning - I insist on it. It always brings a smile to my face to see the family gathered around the breakfast table!

My 3yo daughter always sneaks up on me when I am on my computer. I pretend not to see or hear her and then she says “Mommy I wake up” and I jump like I am startled. We both get a good laugh out of it.

I start my day with a cup of coffee but starting it with chocolate would be heavenly!!! I can’t wait to try them!

My kids know Mama is much nicer after a cup of coffee! The cutest thing is when my five year old makes it for me…with a little help from Daddy, of course.

I always start my day out with a cup of coffee and what makes me smile is to see my children fret over what to wear and checking themselves out in the mirror. Boy to be that young again LOL

Man!! I’m so addicted to these chocolate cheerios. So, how do we start off our day? Cranky! But I love it. I love seeing her rub her little eyes, whining, cuddling, and so on. I even like when she stomps her feet. It makes me smile because she’s JUST like me. Oh wait, did you mean food? We start off with cheerios of course! Usually coffee, but we’ve been drinking smoothies lately.

I start my day being cuddled by my husband.He works nights and wakes me with a cuddle when he comes home.After that I get up and get the kids breakfast and start on homeschooling.

I always try to make sure and get as many things ready the night before so we’re not running around like maniacs in the morning! It keeps us all in a good mood. And when my kids get on the bus, the run to their seats so they can wave to me out the window before they leave. I’ve gotten in trouble before, when I wasn’t paying attention to see them wave. Yikes!
