Cranberry Pretzel Cheerio Bars Recipe from Must Have Mom

I’ve been getting creative in the kitchen and coming up with some new snack recipes. My kids are tired of eating the same old snacks all the time so I decided to come up with a healthy cereal bar they could eat for breakfast, snacks, or a healthier dessert. I headed to the grocery store to find some ingredients that would inspire me. That is how this Cranberry Cheerio Bar recipe was created!

Facts Up Front Label - Must Have Mom
 

I decided on Cheerios as I know my kids love them and thanks to the new Facts Up Front label I was able to easily see the nutrition facts on the front of the box. With just 110 calories per serving and no saturated fat, they were a great choice. They also offer up 10% of your daily fiber needs and 45% of daily iron needs. That gives my kids a nice boost for breakfast and is definitely the right way to start the day. I went with the Multi-Grain Cheerios since we try and incorporate as many multi-grains as possible into our diets thanks to the healthful benefits of whole grains.

Facts Up Front not only brings useful information to the front of the box but they also have a website full of helpful tools and tips that can assist in your grocery shopping and in your meal planning. The recipes available through the Facts Up Front website offer ideas for easy, delicious dishes. You can find lots of great recipes to change up your recipe box. There are also sections for vegetarians, gluten-free diets, and quick and easy recipes that the family will enjoy. Here are some simple tips for building a better diet from the Facts Up Front site:

They are helpful for overcoming common obstacles to creating well-rounded meals from the grocery cart to the dinner table. Don’t be frustrated by a lack of time or recipes. There are great tips shared on the site for delivering delicious food to your family with time and budget in mind.
