Salty Facts - Cereal

Mckenzie Ellis

Some of the biggest surprises in terms of sodium are breakfast cereals 🧂but sodium levels in cereals vary widely: One cup of Grape Nuts cereal has 580mg of sodium, while Shredded Wheat has 0mg.

When you are browsing the cereal aisle, shop smart and make sure to check the sodium content on the nutrition labels. No one expects Tony the Tiger to be a cartoon representation of healthy eating. The Tiger practically screams "hopped up on goofballs." But as a wholesome vision of health goes, the Quaker Oats guy is confusing. “His” sneaky sources of sodium can hide in the most tricky of ways.

Take QUAKER® Instant Oatmeal Cinnamon & Spice, a single serving (1 packet) contains 200mg of sodium versus the plain Old Fashion Oats that contains 0mg. Shop smart and spice up the old fashion oats with some brown sugar, raisins, sliced apple, cinnamon and a dash of honey instead. Try my Orange & Almond Granola recipe!
