Special K Red Berries is a yummy, healthy and delicious way to start off your day right! This post is sponsored by Special K, but as always I am thrilled to share with you things that I love on Running in a Skirt and appreciate your support.
Hi friends!
How is your week going? Mine is going pretty good.
Health and fitness wise, I’ve gone on a couple runs AND I am looking forward to a free yoga class today or tomorrow. It’s my birthday week and the studio I go to offers a free class on your birthday week. I’m all packed and ready to go!
Rhett’s birthday is next Tuesday. He will be 14! Can you believe it? He sadly does not get a free yoga class 🙂 He does however, excel at the downward dog pose.
I’ve also been busy sampling a delicious cereal Special K sent me to try out, Red Berries.
I’ve got to tell you, I’m a fan!
This bowl, along with morning exercise, is my favorite way to start off my day right now. I often eat two small meals in the morning, one before I work out and one after. A bowl of Red Berries with milk is just enough energy to get me out the door, without going calorie crazy.
It’s packed with whole grains and real dried strawberries. Yum… berries!
As a big fruit fan, I was surprised at how many were in the box. Special K tells me they recently added even more berries.
I can have a quick meal in less than five minutes of waking up and then go workout.
This delicious cereal has fiber, folic acid and vitamin D while still tasting super yummy. The flakes are crunchy with just the right amount of sweetness. It has no high-fructose corn syrup and just a few ingredients on the box. With skim milk it is less than 150 calories per serving.
It's nourishing and great tasting Can't beat that!
I routinely eat cereal and fruit in the mornings, but as fall approaches and berries go out of season, I know I will be turning even more to Special K Red Berries to get my berry fix.
Yummy! If you are like me and always looking for a fresh new way to start off your day, try Special K Red Berries.

I don't eat cereal anymore but when I did this was one of my favorites.

Thanks Jill!
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
I'm not a big cereal fan because of the higher sugar content. I will typically only eat cheerios! It does look yummy with the dried fruit thought!
JulieWunder says
It has 9grams per serving 🙂
Flo Burton says
I've been eating Special K Red Berries for several years now. I love it! This is by far my favorite Special K cereal. Hope you have a wonderful birthday!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Flo! I love it too!

Happy Birthday! I'd totally have this cereal with some greek yogurt-yum. Visiting from the Wild Workout Wednesdays linkup.
JulieWunder says
Yummy! That would be so tasty!

Happy early birthday! I love your yoga studio gives you a shoutout to make those numbers a little easier to swallow (at least it would help me!)

Totally helps! Thanks Jamie!
Ivanna says
These sound good and I love that they have real red berries. I will have to pick these up and try them. I usually eat cereal dry because I don't drink milk I think these would be a great snack.
JulieWunder says
So yummy! Try with vanilla almond milk 🙂
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
I can't have that cereal anymore thanks to developing a wheat allergy, but I used to LOVE that stuff!
JulieWunder says
Such a bummer! You make such good alternatives though!
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
I haven't had special K in a while and love the almond flavor this looks yummy though. I'm hungry!
JulieWunder says
The almond flavor is yummy too! I buy the protein one sometimes too.
Annmarie says
I used to eat Special K Red Berries all the time when I was younger (or some variation of them)! They were quite yummy 🙂
JulieWunder says
Totally! I always have some in the pantry!
Dan Steadman says
yeah when there is a box of Red Berries in the house it is all out war to see who gets more of it...yes it has even resorted to hiding the box...
JulieWunder says
Haha! That's awesome. IF that isn't a testament to a good cereal, I don't know what is!
Jessie says
I too am working with Red Berries. I was shockingly surprised just how delicious this cereal it was. One of my favorite parts HAS to be that it's made with REAL dried strawberries. So cool!
JulieWunder says
Yay for Red Berries gigs! It is really very very good!
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
I'm not going to lie, I'm terribly jealous that you are working with Special K. I used to be addicted to Red Berries, and I just (as in last night) finished a box of the original. My favorite brand.
JulieWunder says
I always have some in the pantry!
Blane Sherer says

JulieWunder says
Thanks Blane! He's a handsome one!
