Kellogg’s Gluten Free Breakfast Kit Giveaway and Dietitian Tips

Eating gluten-free should neither be a budget buster nor an inconvenience, especially when thinking about feeding your children at breakfast, which as everyone knows is a hectic time of day … trying to get them fed and off to school. Busy moms and dads need gluten-free products that are affordable, easy to prepare, as well as being healthy and tasty. Think Snap, Crackle and Pop! Yes, Kellogg’s, one of the world’s leaders of breakfast cereal, snacks and frozen food, has reformulated their Rice Krispies cereal by eliminating barley (malt) so the boxes marked “gluten-free” are now safe for celiacs and the gluten-sensitive. Breakfast just got a whole lot easier, and I can hear moms and dads around the globe rejoicing! Kellogg’s Rice Krispies are made with whole-grain brown rice and fortified with 10 essential vitamins and minerals. Though I am the resident celiac and required to eat gluten-free, my non-celiac boys also look forward to a bowl of gluten-free Rice Krispies, with or without milk!

So thank you Kellogg’s for making the lives of busy moms and dads just a little easier at breakfast and snack time. We applaud your efforts for considering the celiac and gluten-sensitive community, by offering a gluten-free cereal.

We also thank you for offering one lucky CeliacCorner winner, an amazing – yes amazing, celebratory “Kitchen Kit” to share with their family, as I was able to do with mine – see Giveaway details below!

In conjunction with Celiac Awareness Month (May), Kellogg’s has teamed with dietitian Tricia Thompson, MS, RD  to bust the many myths surrounding gluten-free products, especially breakfast items, so that families will know that following a gluten-free lifestyle is not as inconvenient as originally thought, especially when there are options such as Rice Krispies’ cereal and snacks (you can now make the gluten-free version of marshmallow treats!).

According to Thompson, three such myths of living a gluten-free lifestyle are:

Myth One: You always have to pay more for gluten-free products.

Gluten-free doesn’t have to mean more expensive or a trip to a specialty store. For example, a box of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Gluten Free cereal costs the same amount as Kellogg’s Rice Krispies and is sold alongside the original blue box.

Myth Two: All gluten-free snacks for kids require extra attention from mom and dad.

Not all snacks require a lot of time and preparation. With many favorite products now available in gluten-free varieties, it’s easy to whip up a quick gluten-free snack that the whole family will love, like Rice Krispies Gluten-Free Treats™.

Myth Three: Food that’s labeled “gluten-free” is healthy.

Not all gluten-free products qualify as healthy. When grocery shopping, look for gluten-free cereals, breads, and pastas that are made with gluten-free whole grains or have been fortified or enriched as they are good sources of iron and B vitamins, which may be lacking in gluten-free diets.

“There are ways to eat a gluten-free diet without sacrificing several nutrients, including fiber, iron, folate and niacin,” said Thompson. “For example, a breakfast that includes a whole grain- or vitamin and mineral-fortified cereal, like Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Gluten Free, served with sliced bananas and milk is a quick, healthy and delicious way for kids to start the day.”

Great advice Tricia!

Note: Just be sure to look for the words “gluten-free” on the box at time of purchase to be sure you are buying the gluten-free Rice Krispies, and not the “original” Rice Krispies, which still contain barley malt.

    Comment *I love Kellogg’s products

  2. KELLOGG’S® RICE KRISPIES® was my favorite cereal when I was a child! I am so excited it is gluten free now and i can enjoy it again as an adult!!

  3. Just Entered the Giveaway…Snap, Crackle, & Pop! I do have someone right here that LOVES this cereal. Thanks for the link & have a great day!

  4. I liked and commented on your Facebook page as Jason Rubio.
    I would love to win this because I discovered fairly recently how negatively gluten impacts my health. I had my baby and began breastfeeding 6 months ago. Consuming any gluten resulted in an immediate reduction in the amount of milk I produced. I feel so much healthier since cutting it out of my diet, but I’m still looking for alternative meals.
