MISSISSAUGA, ON, September 9, 2014 – All across Canada, moms and dads know that the morning rush begins long before they walk out the front door. Every morning when the alarm goes off, busy parents get the kids out of bed, make sure they are dressed, that their socks match, that they are fed a wholesome breakfast and sent off to school with a kiss and healthy snacks for the day ahead.

Parents really do it all – and even in the most hectic and busy times, they care about feeding their families what their growing bodies need.  Kellogg Canada is making this easier than ever with the introduction of new Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Multi-Grain Shapes cereal, which contains no artificial flavours or colours.  For a burst of the sunshine vitamin, a one cup serving provides 20 per cent of the daily value of Vitamin D. Combined with the goodness of whole grains, it’s a nutrient-rich, delicious and fun option for breakfast or snack time, any time of the day.

“At Kellogg, we know that parents are busy and are looking for easy, wholesome and great tasting breakfast and snack solutions for their families,” says Chris Bell, Vice President Marketing, Kellogg Canada Inc. “That’s why we’re introducing Canadian families to new Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Multi-Grain Shapes cereal.  It’s a simple and delicious breakfast option in a bowl with milk, or great on its own as a snack. But no matter how you enjoy it, it’s perfect for busy families’ on-the-go because it’s versatile and packed with nutritious ingredients that parents can feel good about.”

Goodness in every bowl

Every box of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Multi-Grain Shapes cereal is made with the goodness of wholesome grains and provides 11 grams of whole grains per serving.
