I love cereal in the morning!
Do you remember eating “Wheaties” for breakfast…or maybe even as a snack during your lifetime? I sure did because Wheaties had sports figures on the front of the box and I figured if they ate it….so should I!
Unfortunately, I did not turn into ANY of these athletes, but not from the lack of trying!
Those were the days when I did not care what Wheaties were made from or what was in them (a.k.a. ingredients). All that mattered at the time was does it taste good and who was on the cover!
Fast forward many years and now I care what the ingredients are because they have an effect on my body systems more than they did in my early years. I’m not talking about how much I weigh, but more about how my body reacts to the ingredients in the cereal…like alertness, digestion, and appetite…..stuff like that!
So, I started reading the labels on ALL of the cereal boxes, especially my beloved Wheaties, and I was floored by what they put in these products! I asked myself, did “athletes” really eat this stuff? I could not believe my eyes when I saw how much sugar, bioengineered wheat, and chemicals they used to make the cereal….just so it would taste good! Those marketing people, I tell you!
NO MORE WHEATIES FOR ME!
This started my journey to find the healthiest cereal around….after all, I love cereal and it is 95% of what I start my day out with!
Well, my journey ended when I was told by a friend about Young Living’s Einkorn Flakes Cereal. In doing more research I found out that most, if not all cereals, use hybridized wheat (known as “bioengineered”). This hybridized wheat is being used because it produces a bigger crop; therefore, they can produce more cereal! Makes economic sense, but not health sense!
Einkorn wheat comes from the original ancient way of growing wheat. Often called the “staff of life” grain is one of the oldest varieties of wheat known to man. Prized for its compatibility with the human body, einkorn has retained its simple, primitive genetic code with only 14 chromosomes, compared to the modern-day hybridized wheat, which has 42 chromosomes.
For you math majors that is 3 times more chromosomes than Einkorn…..that could not be good for you right! Bringing together Einkorn and oats creates a great taste and crunch that your whole family will enjoy!
What Young Living has done is be true to their "Seed to Seal" guarantee, even for food products! Einkorn is perfect for those who appreciate and support traditional farming practices, non-GMO crops, and foods free from artificial flavors (those nasty chemicals I mentioned earlier), colors, and preservatives!
So just don’t take my word for it….let’s compare the ingredients of Wheaties and Einkorn….so you can see the difference!

Notice the Wheaties ingredients disclose the box contains “Bioengineered” food. ----that’s the wheat folks!
If that was not convincing enough, let’s compare the Nutritional Facts!
Einkorn Wheaties
Pretty close but notice the + 5grams of added sugar and -3 less grams of protein for Wheaties!
NOW can you tell why I ditched eating Wheaties and switched to Young Living’s Einkorn Cereals!
Summary
I finally found my go-to cereal and Young Living’s Einkorn Flakes are my “Wheaties” now! I know what is in the ingredients, I know where the wheat comes from, and I believe in the farming practices that Young Living uses…..I have been to the farm! No “bioengineered” foods for me!

Finally, below is a picture of my breakfast this morning. Einkorn Cereal, organic frozen berries, and Ningxia Red. Ningxia Red is a powerhouse anti-occident by itself, but that is another story!
