and discovered that it's actually really easy to get your recommended daily allowance (RDA) of iron. How, you ask? Through fortified cereals! Yep, boxed cold cereals (especially bran), oatmeal, and Cream of Wheat are all packed with this stuff.
This little number is my current favorite. It tastes a lot like one of my all-time favorite cereals--Post's Great Grains Banana Nut Crunch--but is full of even more nutrition than the original! Like the Post cereal, it's sweet and crunchy, but now it's also filled with 90% of your RDA of iron, 6.5 grams of protein, and 9 grams of fiber! I don't know about you, but I'm seeing a lot more cereal in my future!
Serves 1
3/4 cup bran flakes cereal
2/3 cup Special K Multigrain Oats & Honey cereal
1/8 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1/4 cup diced banana
Place all ingredients in bowl, then stir to combine. Top with your favorite (non-dairy) milk (we prefer almond), and enjoy!
