My Favorite Thing This Week

is from the side of the Millville(R) Fruity Rice cereal box from Aldi.

"Good Morning! Millville(R) Fruity Rice is loaded with the great tasting nutrition of rice ... one of the world's oldest known grains. ... Fruity Rice is the beginning of a nutritious & wholesome breakfast. When choices from the other basic food groups like milk, juice, toast and butter are added, your meal is complete and balanced."

I should add that, basically, Fruity Rice is the same thing as Fruity Pebbles.

I love this. First, it is refreshingly friendly. Plus, you've got the value of rice, one of the world's oldest grains. Then, so long as you add foods like butter, from other groups, you've got a complete breakfast. Good stuff!

So, you only need to add dairy, fruit, and grain to have a balanced breakfast. I guess that makes fruity pebbles a protein and a vegetable. Who knew?
