Honey Nut Cheerios makes a big statement in your cereal bowl

Honey Nut Cheerios might be a family favorite, but that cereal bowl contains more than just a tasty spoonful. With a visual reminder, that cereal can be good for your heart.

Can you be better to your heart? Many people grew up eating both Honey Nut Cheerios and original Cheerios. Those round “Os” were many people’s first snack food. Who hasn’t watched a small child marvel at picking up that cereal and enjoying the taste for the first time.

While that sense of joy and wonder might evolve as people get older, Cheerios can and does have a little fun in each and every box. More importantly, it can be the spoonful of goodness that can keep a healthy lifestyle on track.

To kick off the new year, the limited-edition boxes will have heart-shaped Cheerios mixed into the box with the iconic “O.” That heart is a reminder that happy hearts can help inspired happy health choices.

According to the brand, “more than 100 million Americans have some form of heart disease.” By adding hearts into the cereal box, the brand is looking to “inspire happy hearts.”

Liz Mascolo, vice president, marketing for Cheerios. “We want to remind people that living a heart-healthy lifestyle can be joyful, easy and delicious, and Honey Nut Cheerios can help to fuel that journey. We hope the new heart shapes not only put a smile on people’s faces but inspire them to find new, fun ways to take care of their hearts.”

Cheerios hopes that those hearts in the cereal bowl encourage everyone, young and old, to get moving. From taking a walk to running a mile, from playing with the kids to doing some yoga and from getting off the couch to feeling empowered, it is time to embrace that heart-healthy lifestyle.

Plus, Cheerios is a great source of soluble fiber from whole grain oat foods. While this concept might not be the most hyped food trend, good for you food is always on trend.

Heading into the new year, the brand is injecting heart health into the conversation. Beyond the hearts in the cereal bowl, Buzz the Bee is encouraging everyone to start talking.

For the new year, hearts are on the agenda. From Honey Nut Cheerios to your health, give the gift of a healthy heart for years to come. It might be the heartfelt joy that will last for a long time.
