As a vegetarian, I try to make sure I’m making good, healthy choices for my body. In almost all areas of nutrition, fruits and veggies make up for what I lose by giving up meat. In particular, I feel confident I’m getting enough protein in my daily diet. However, there are some nutrients in animal products that just aren’t found anywhere else, like B12. You can read more about B12 and why it is important here. Since I learned of B12’s importance, I’ve been monitoring my B12 consumption (from eggs and yogurt and cheese) and realized I haven’t been getting 100% of the daily recommended amount. While browsing Wegmans the other day, I found a product that allows me to ensure I’m getting 100% of my B12 in just one serving. It’s low in calories, has zero fat, only 4 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein! I made a vlog to share the product with you!
So glad I stumbled upon Kellogg’s Product 19 while in Wegmans.
I’m really impressed that this cereal only has 4 grams of sugar and still has a good taste. I don’t eat cereal for breakfast, but rather as a snack during the day.
Look at all those vitamins!
I love how the cereal doesn’t get soggy in milk. That is one of my biggest pet peeves with cereal!
This post isn’t sponsored, I just wanted to share a cool product I found with you guys. As a vegetarian, I always want to make sure I’m replenishing my body, never depriving it of what it needs. Cereal typically isn’t thought of as a healthy food, but sometimes it can be! 🙂
Question of the Day: What’s your favorite cereal? What do you love about it?
of course if i want a bad for me cereal i go for frosted flakes but i never get that! I always get special k with strawberries! sooooo yummy! I love when it gets soggy haha.
Ohh frosted flakes are really good. I’m an equal opportunity cerealist. I just only stock my pantry with ones that aren’t too horrible if I shovel handfuls at a time into my mouth. ;p
I’m curious about the absorption of all those vitamins. I have an iron and B12 deficiency so I take supplements but I was told by my doctor that calcium prevents proper absorption so that I shouldn’t have any dairy products within an hour of taking my supplements. I wonder how it is absorbed if you are having the cereal with milk? Otherwise this sounds like an awesome product to get all those vitamins in one cup!
Oh good point. I make a green smoothie almost every day and switched from milk to water in it because of what I read about calcium blocking iron absorption. But if I think I understand what I read about B12 correctly (I would definitely, definitely check with your Doctor), calcium is actually needed to break down B12 properly. Regardless of the nutrients, the cereal sure is tasty! 😀
I have to admit I mean well with cereal but i get out of hand quickly once that box is open! haha Glad you found something that fits your diet.
Omg me too! I’m working on self control when it comes to cereal. But I figure since I snack on it anyways I might as well get some vitamins and nutrients out of it! 😀
I take a sublingual B-12 supplement every few days. It’s pretty easy to do. The cereal sounds interesting, though.. The label doesn’t show what type of Vitamin D it uses. D3 is from animal souces and I avoid that.
Oh I’m not sure. Good to know that the vitamin form of B12 works well!
first, you’re absolutely adorable on camera!
I really need to head to wegmans and find this cereal! It sounds like a miracle food. haha, how have I not known about this?!?!
Aw, thanks! You’re really sweet! I can’t believe it has been around for so long. I’ve never heard of it before. I would definitely recommend checking it out! Trips to Wegmans never hurt either. ;p
My favorite cereal lately has been Whole Grain Cheerios. I may have to try this one next. Thanks for sharing!
Whole grain cheerios are great, my favoriite cheerio is the classic honey nut. I definitely recommend checking these out, Product 19 is awesome!
im a huge cereal nut! i mostly love the kashi brand, but im not picky as long as it’s healthy! i also take b12 everyday in liquid form. love it! have a happy monday! spa love!
Ohh good to know B12 is good in liquid form! Kashi cereal is really good, I’m a huge cereal fan.
Of course my favorite cereal is Lucky Charms…so not the best for you! I save it for a snow storm…my junk food time!! I do love to snack on cereal though. I like the kashi cereal a lot but I’ll have to check this out!
I def recommend checking out Product 19 its awesome. And don’t worry, peanut butter crunch is one of my alltime favorite bad for you snacks. You’re not alone in your unhealthy cereal love! ;p
I’m like so many others commenting. I LOVE cereal, but go WAAAYYY overboard. I can’t stick with one serving!
Yes! I’m trying to learn self control! ;p
So interesting!! I’ll have to look for this in my local Kroger – sounds like a GREAT cereal!
It is an awesome cereal! I hope you find it!!
I take b vitamins every day….I will definitely have to check out this cereal for sure! Thanks for the review!
I’m so glad you liked the review, its a great cereal!
I am big on cereal, I like to eat either cereal or oatmeal most mornings – or greek yogurt. Haha. I have not tried this cereal before though, nor have I noticed it anywhere I have been shopping! I will have to keep my eyes open for it!
Ohh greek yogurt, my breakfast food of choice! I hope you find this cereal and are able to try it, its awesome!
Cute stuff! Great review – I definitely increased my B vitamins when I weened off of caffeine and I would be lost without it!
I would be lost without caffeine!!
GREAT POST! I never thought about fortified cereals!
Aw thanks! I’m glad you liked the post! I never thought about fortified before cereals either, I’m so glad I eventually did!
Great job on your vlog! Sounds like a good find. I love Wegmans too, really miss it! 🙂
Aw thanks! I am Wegmans obsessed, it’s such a great store!
Very impressive cereal and you sound so cute and great in your vlog!
However, what kind of ingredients are included?
I only buy Cascadian Farms or Kashi. It’s a little on the expensive side but soooo tasty as well as good for us!!
Aw you’re so sweet, thanks so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! The ingredients in Product 19 are: milled corn, sugar, whole grain oat flour, wheat flour, rice, contains 2% or less of defatted wheat germ, salt, malt flavoring, annatto color, bht for freshness 🙂
