Recipe Review: Maple Millet Cereal

I have to be honest, I miss eating cereal. I miss spooning a mouthful of crunchy, sweet satisfaction into my mouth on a regular basis. Drinking the milk from the bottom of the bowl was a wonderful way to start the day.  My favorite cereal as a kid was Froot Loops and Apple Jacks. Growing up, my mom didn't by sugary cereals so I had to wait until I could go to my grandmother's house and she would always have the mini cereal boxes for us.

As I got older, I realized there wasn't any fruit in Froot Loops (and they misspelled fruit on the box) and there aren't any apples in Apple Jacks so I started eating more healthy cereals...or at least I thought they were healthy. My adult favorite was Kashi GoLean Crunch. Mmmm. I could easily eat two bowls of that stuff. As I learned more about the hidden dangers of packaged foods, I realized the reason why I could eat so much of it. There are 13g of sugar in a 1 cup serving of Kashi GoLean Crunch. Considering there are 17g of sugar in a serving of ice cream, it was almost like eating dessert for breakfast every day.
