Did you know that 9 out of 10 woman eat less fiber than recommended, unfortunately I am one of those and have suffered the consequences over the years, not so much now as I learnt the hard way, but going back 10 plus years I had a bad digestive system which caused me all sorts off problems and since then I have actively tried to eat more fiber, though I keep on top of it most of the time, there have been periods where I let it slip and those old issues quickly start to creep back into my life.
I joined in with the All-Bran 5 Day challenge recently and I not only enjoyed the cereals, but I am also enjoying the benefits. Being a super busy mum/nanny/colleague I often skip breakfast, which we all know is not good; as the old adage goes 'Breakfast is the most important meal of the day'. I skip breakfast because I just don't have enough time to eat, or sometimes I just don't fancy eating. However I do rely on breakfast being the main source for my daily fiber, otherwise I fall within the stats above and miss reaching the recommend daily fiber intake per day - this I am actively working on changing by making sure to eat breakfast everyday. So this was a great challenge for me to get into, one that I hope to continue.For this challenge we got to try out three flavours from the All-Bran range:Golden Crunch - These were really nice, with tiny little gold crunch balls mixed in amongst the bran was a pleasant surprise.
Red Berry Crunch - Normally I avoid cereals like this, as I am not too keen on dried fruit, however they were quite tasty, and not too sweet.
