EnviroKidz cereals

Written by Lisa on June 2, 2008 – 3:57 pm -

This site is all about easy cooking and what’s more easy than putting some cereal in a bowl and adding milk? Nothing, I tell you. Madison and I recently tried out the new EnviroKidz cereals, and I have to say I am impressed. Being lactose intolerant, it takes a lot to impress me with cereal too, since I am pretty much am stuck eating it dry (yes, I know there is soy milk, but I really don’t like it and the Lactaid pills are super expensive).

The two cereals we tried were the Leapin’ Lemurs and the Penguin Puffs. I’ve got one word for you: Yummy. The Leapin’ Lemurs are peanut butter and chocolate balls and the Penguin Puffs are a crunchy blend of kamut, quinoa and corn. They both are low fat, gluten free, whole grain, and low sodium. Did I mention organic too? This means no synthetic pesticides, no synthetic herbicides, no artificial preservatives or additives, and no irradiation. I love that not only is the front cover of this box just awesome to look at, there is a lesson on the back of the box. I learned that Lemur’s mostly live in Madagascar and they have lost over 80% of their living area to deforestation. They also are being hunted for food and to be people’s pets. You have to love a good learning lesson at breakfast. Another reason to get this cereal is that 1% of their sales is donated to endangered species, habitat conservation, and environmental education for children. It is amazing how together we can all make a difference.

Madison finished off the box of Penguin Puffs in two days. She ate it for breakfast and as a snack. The only reason we even have any of the Leapin’ Lemurs left is because I hide the box from her after breakfast. I even have to admit, I walked around snacking on this too, because it is really that good (I’m eating some as I write this review). Now, I am not a mom who “has” to buy organic for her kids. However, after eating this cereal, I might start doing so. Its good to know that it can taste good and be good for you also.

Now, I can’t keep all this yummy goodness to myself, so I have arranged so two lucky winners can also try this awesome organic cereal! Each winner will receive a box of Leapin’ Lemurs and and Penguin Puffs too! This is only available to the US. Now, here’s all you have to do:

3. Stumble this post. If you don’t know what Stumble Upon is, please read Lori’s post at Blogging Cents. She explains it extremely well.

copy-of-2005_10-oct010.jpg Hi, I am Lisa. I am originally from Green Bay, WI (yes, I am a Packer fan) and now living in Illinois. I have 4 year old daughter and a newborn little boy who surprised us by being born 3 weeks early. (He’s 13 months now!)

Currently, I am a work at home mom who is involved in several side projects. In 2004 and 2005, I worked for a company creating websites. Unfortunately, that went away. However, we introduced our clients to blogging which is how I got into it. I started blogging in April 2006 just to keep in touch with my friends and family in Green Bay. In July 2006, I suffered a miscarriage, and I used my blog to get through that. I now talk about my life and blog for several companies. I still do freelance for a few companies. My other blogs are Lisa Reviews, My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings, and My Road Less Traveled By. I was also one of 15 bloggers to attend the Sony Mommy Bloggers Event in April of 2008 and one of 15 bloggers invited to the Pampers Mommy Bloggers Event.
