SnackSwapperThe honest verdict
Is Lucky Charms Actually Healthy?
A bowl of Lucky Charms is 12g of sugar, and the marshmallows everyone actually wants are essentially colored sugar foam. The oat pieces underneath are the fig leaf. It's dessert with a leprechaun, which is fine on a Saturday; on a school-day rotation, a protein-forward sweet cereal holds kids over dramatically better.
