Are you getting enough fiber? + GIVEAWAY!

The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans say people should consume 25-38 grams of fiber daily, and that the average American consumes only 15 grams. What´s amazing is that incorporating fiber into your diet can be effortless and definitely delicious, with Fiber One cereals offering at least 30 percent of the Daily Value per serving. (Some Fiber One cereals offer more than 50 percent!) Fiber One Original® and flavored varieties like Honey Clusters®, Raisin Bran Clusters®, Caramel Delight®, and Shredded Wheat®, make fiber taste good and help to give people a jumpstart on their fiber intake each day.

I received a pack of cereals to try.  This picture shows the kinds of cereal included.  So far I've tried the Caramel Delight.  I'd never had it before this, and it is tasty!  My husband has been having it for breakfast too.

Would you like to try all five of these Fiber One cereals?  I am giving away a prize pack through MyBlogSpark.  All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post answering the question:  Do you think you are you getting enough fiber in your diet?    A winner will be drawn on Friday, June 17.  I'll post the winner on Saturday, June 18. 

You can click here for a coupon for $.75 off one box of Fiber One cereal.

(The survey information and the Fiber One cereals were given to me from General Mills through MyBlogSpark.)

UPDATED:  My husband was looking at the boxes and nutrition labels. He was surprised to find that one of them has high fructose corn syrup (the Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters) and another has aspertame (the Fiber One Original). It is very disappointing to both of us to find these ingredients in a cereal.  Here is an article about the dangers of aspertame.  Just had to add this to my review of these cereals. 

Have a day of blessings!
