Giveaway: Big G Whole Grain

Did you know that 95 percent of Americans don't get enough whole grain in their diet?

Apparently, according to the 2010 Report of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, only five percent of Americans get the three full recommended daily servings. Yikes! We can do better, right?

Start the day off with a great breakfast! Whole grain breads, and high fiber fruits such as apples are a great way to eat healthy - but not everyone has the time for a full breakfast. (Unfortunately) Most folks grab a bowl of cereal. Every Big G cereal such as Cheerios, Lucky Charms, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch, contains at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving, with more than 20 General Mills cereals delivering 16 grams or more. (You should be getting at least 48 grams daily, so plan for other meals to have some whole grains such as wild rice, whole wheat, and quinoa too!)

Visit www.WholeGrainNation.com for more tips, additional information about the benefits of Whole Grain and how Big G cereals can incorporate more whole grain into your day. Your heart will thank you!


MyBlogSpark and General Mills sent me over a Big G Whole Grain package that included a free VIP coupon for one Big G cereal, a cereal on-the-go bowl, lunch bag, walking enthusiast kit and a digital jump rope. The little kit had a water bottle and holster carrier that has now been claimed for the Corgis when they are out walking (LOL), and a little pedometer.

Win it! Thanks to MyBlogSpark and General Mills, one lucky reader is going to win the same prize package I received! To enter, tell us which Big G cereals you'll choose to help get your whole grains in for the day?

As always, you can receive extra entries for:

That's four (4) possible entries! Giveaway ends January 22nd at 11:59 PM PST, and please leave your email address in your entry or have it available in your profile. US only, sorry :( Good luck everyone!! :)

General Mills provided me with the free product, information, and prize packs through MyBlogSpark. One winner will receive the prize above, also fulfilled by the same sponsors.
