Target's Right On Target!

The weather's getting colder and sometimes it just feels like a morning for piping hot whole grain cereal! Target carries a double whammy called Simply Balanced Organic hot cereal, a blend of oats and quinoa.

Oats lend themselves as we all know to be a super healthy grain, from it's ability to lower cholesterol levels, to the unique antioxidant compound called Avenathramides. This particular antioxidant prevents free radicals from damaging LDL cholesterol and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Oats have also been shown to stabilize blood sugar in diabetes as well. Oats are high in fiber to boot!

Quinoa is a versatile little grain that's Gluten free, antioxidant rich containing flavonoids quercetin and kaempferol and is packed with phytonutrients as well as calcium. Quinoa is a dense powerful little grain that packs a big punch for your health.

Simply Balanced Hot Cereal combines these two super grains into one hot cereal for a powerful nutrient rich breakfast that can't be beat. It can also be served like rice with a meal or layered with berries and yogurt in a parfait. It's a great way to get something very good for the body into kids topped with an all natural jam, coconut sugar(it's low glycemic), their favorite fruit or even chocolate chips!
