C is for Cereal-Post Sesame Street Cereal that is!

I'm participating in another great Bzz Campaign for Post Sesame Street Cereal. As a BzzAgent, I get to try products from time to time for free or at a low cost, share them with others, and provide honest feedback.

This campaign is exciting for me. I have 3 wonderful grandsons, ages 2, 4 and 6, who love cereal and would eat it for every meal, if we let them. I'm always concerned about what cereals they eat while they're with me. I want them to eat healthy, and so many of the "popular" cereals are so full of sugar. Then there is the allure of marshmallows.  


Post Sesame Street Cereal comes in 2 flavors, Elmo Apple and Cookie Monster Banana. They're shaped in x's and o's. No  artificial flavors, no coloring, and only 1g of sugar per serving. A serving for a toddler 4 and under is three quarters of a cup.  Each serving also provides two-thirds of a toddlers daily whole grains. The cereal is fortified with iron, that helps deliver oxygen to the brain and body; Zinc, that helps brain and body cells grow/develop and Choline+ that helps the brain send messages. Note: I've linked the flavors above to their nutrition facts pages.

The x's and o's are the perfect size for little fingers and easy to chew/swallow. I felt that they actually 'melted' in my mouth when I tried them. Having said this, Post Sesame Cereal should only be fed to toddlers who are accustomed to chewing solid foods. The taste of the cereal is light and isn't overwhelming. It's just a hint of apple with the Elmo Apple, and a hint of Banana with Cookie Monster Banana.

Breakfast is now learning time and fun time. There are games on the back of the cereal box. Currently our boxes have: Count with Elmo on Elmo Apple and Help Cookie Monster find all of the letters x and o. There are other games At snack time we play tic-tact-toe, create patterns and count how many o's and how many x's we each have- of-course, Nana makes sure everyone has the same 'number' when we have our snack time.


Elmo and Cookie Monster are a part of our breakfast, snack and play time. Anytime you can combine healthy food and learning at the same time is a big plus for me!

I've found Post C is for Cereal at my local Fry's Food Market Place (Krogrer)  and Walmart.
