We are big Cherrios fans and love the energy we get from them. I was so excited to partner on this sponsored post on behalf of Cheerios & Health.com
Energy is a big deal in our home.
We are constantly on the go and we need sustainable energy that has a good flavor… crunch is always an added benefit too. We care about our health so we make sure we are always getting fresh fruits and veggies, but for energy we know we need some thing more. This is where Cheerios plays an important part in our day.
Cheerios have always been a part of my life.
My own father had a bowl {or two} every morning for breakfast when I was growing up so it was the go-to first meal of the day for us and then once I had kids of my own they too LOVED Cheerios. It was one of their first finger foods and The Little One has a couple cups a day even now. We never leave home without a baggy of Cheerios… she eats them plain and she loves the flavor and crunch!
I love knowing that when we eat Cheerios the energy we get is going to last and give us that energy we need to tackle the day and make it a great one!
Here are 5 other things we do to keep up our energy level:
- Stay hydrated. So important. Your body needs to be hydrated to function and even more to function at it’s best levels.
- Exercise. Even if you don’t feel like it, go for a walk. The most important thing is to just keep moving.
- Get enough sleep. Seriously. Go to sleep early and keep a regular schedule.
- Have healthy snacks. I think we all forget to or get too busy to eat. Don’t let that happen. Bring healthy snacks with you. Planning ahead is key.
- Eat whole grains like Cheerios. Whole grains lead to more energy.
I really enjoy eating oats but sometimes I want something with a little crunch! Did you know that Cheerios was the first cereal to turn mushy oats into crunch o’s? Pretty cool right! You can learn all about the benefits of oats in cheerios here.
There are so many ways to incorporate Cheerios into your day.
Starting with enjoying them as your daily breakfast to using them as a topping on your favorite yogurt. Sometimes you just need some crunch with your yogurt and Cheerios are the perfect addition! Let’s talk about breakfast for a moment too. Breakfast has long been known to be important, but just having a good foundation of whole grains can change the way your whole day goes. Just taking that step first thing in the morning to fuel up for energy the rest of the day can be the difference between having the energy you need to take on the day or not.
There are lots of ways to add more whole grains to your diet! Be sure to visit Health.com for healthy recipe ideas containing whole grains that everyone in the family will like!
Cheerios have been in our family for forever it seems! They were one of the first real foods our pediatrician at the time recommended as a snack for my oldest when he was little.
I love to have Cherrios for snack. My kids love Cheerios, too. It is great for energy!

What a true classic, Cheerios have been a family staple for many years. They’re wholesome and filling without unwanted calories and sugar. Plus, they make an easy snack for on the go.
I love to eat mine with slivered almonds and a drizzle of honey! Kind of like making my own “honey nut” Cheerios with the plain ones! 🙂
Most days of the week, we start our day with Cheerios. It’s so good, packed of the good stuff. I love all the different flavours too! 😉
My youngest is just starting to eat Cheerios. It seems as though everyone grows up with them.

We go through Cheerios like it’s going out of style at my house. We love them. They’re delicious and not too sweet.
I love Cheerios! I have them almost everyday- and they’re perfect because they aren’t too full of sugar which means my toddler can have some!
My baby’s favorite, they are a nice healthy snack anytime of the day and great for breakfast.
Cheerios is one of the very first finger foods I gave my children and even all grown up, they still love them. I never knew that they were the first. They have been around a long time!
Cheerios are so good for snacks and both kids and adults love them. It is so great that they are healthy too!
I have had cheerios in my pantry since my first child… they are a staple that I just fell in love with. I eat them for snacks and breakfast 🙂
Getting enough sleep is crucial, but so is not over-sleeping. That can make one feel equally sluggish. I’m a big Honey Oat Cheerios fan, personally!
We love cheerios! I love to snack on them, and especially use the Cheerio book with the kids!
There are so many fun and healthy things you can add to Cheerios!
I love Cheerios! There are so many foods to pair them with! I would pick fresh fruit.
I kinda like to eat Cheerios by the handful. Actually I eat them a couple at a time, but what I’m saying is that I like them dry. They make a great snack.
Whole Grain Cheerios is a great way to start each day! Such a yummy flavor and keeps me full for hours.
Cheerios look so lovely, you pictures make them look even more scrumptious! Thanks for sharing Rachel X

We are kind of a Cheerio family. My little kids eat it. I think next time I’ll sit down and have a bowl with them now. This momma sure could use an energy boost every morning.
I love having Cheerios as a snack – just to toss in my purse to eat in the car. Plus its my go to to feed my toddler
Who doesn’t love Cheerios? Excellent tips as well!
We go through a lot of Cheerios in our house. It’s one of our favorite cereals.
This is why I love Cheerios, and have since I was a kid. I still eat Cheerios and it’s the only cereal we have in our house.
Usually I eat Cheerios in snack mix during the Christmas season. My MIL always put them in her mix. 🙂
We are huge Cheerios fans too. You’ll pretty much always find a box in our pantry!
I love Cheerios. Always have a box. I’m happy Baby Mash likes them too. Great healthy breakfast!
I love oats in everything. But I don’t really eat store bought cereals. I do like musli from time to time.
I love having them with milk and sugar just as a mid day snack! My hubby and little one like them dry!
Besides a nice bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios, I also like adding them as a topping for vanilla ice cream.
We are huge Cheerios fans! It gives my family and I the energy to start the day!
What a fun post, we are a BIG Cheerios loving family; everyone loves them.
I can snack on Cherrios all day! My kids make the Cherrios Treats with them also when they want to change up.
I could honestly eat Cheerios like every single day! I love them mixed with bananas and milk..yum!
We are big cheerios fans over here. In fact, I’m about to go out and buy another box! lol! But yes, you’re right, it certainly gives you energy.
