I found Fiber One Frosted Shredded Wheat this weekend.

I'm in love.

Wow, how do they taste? Fiber stuff is usually nasty but helps!:ohwell:

optimum breakfast cereal is another good choice and it taste great.

Oh and oatmeal - which is also supposed to be good for our brains - they're now encouraging children to have it for breakfast because it helps their concentration.

I made some fantastic buttermilk waffles this morning using Fiber One. Their website has tons of other great recipes. You can have two four inch waffles for 270 calories but they pack a whopping 10 grams of fiber. My three year old daughter ate two and asked for a third -- I had to say "no". Didn't think 15 grams of fiber in one meal for a three year old was a good idea. . . . . . ha ha ha

Buttermilk Waffles

Prep Time:30 min
Start to Finish:30 min
Makes:4 servings (two 4-inch waffles each)


1 cup Fiber One® original bran cereal
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup Gold Medal® whole wheat or all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Maple syrup, if desired
Fresh raspberries, if desired



1. Heat waffle maker. Place cereal in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and crush with rolling pin or meat mallet (or crush in food processor).
2. In large bowl, mix cereal and buttermilk; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in egg, oil and vanilla. Stir in remaining ingredients just until smooth. (Batter will be thick.)
3. For each waffle, brush hot waffle maker with vegetable oil. Spread batter onto center of hot waffle maker. (Waffle makers vary in size; check manufacturer's directions for recommended amount of batter.) Close lid of waffle maker.
4. Bake about 5 minutes or until steaming stops and waffle is golden brown. Carefully remove waffle. Serve immediately. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup and raspberries.
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Bake about 7 minutes.

We've also tried onion rings and chicken strips using the Fiber One as the breading. They were great! Three year old ate the chicken strips too!

I love the fiber one bars.. also their yogurts , cereals- taste really good.. and as far as I remember the products are all in the range of 7-9 gm of fiber, about 100-110 kcl.. and the taste- great.. it's my snack or " chocolate " cravings- rescue .

prunes have a good amount of fiber..
