Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Eating at least 3 servings of whole grains like Cheerios™ cereal daily may help reduce blood cholesterol. Look for the word "whole" to be sure you get the whole grain.
  • tip 2
    The cinnamon and ginger lend a spice twist to this amazing-tasting snack mix. Loaded with cereal, nuts and dried fruits, it stores well, so keep it on hand and munch on small amounts when you have a snack attack.
