Comparing Cereals: Chex vs. Heritage Bites. Same shape. Same crunch. Different ingredients. OK, to be blunt, there a lot of cereal options out there that are much worse off (nutrition wise) than General Mills Chex. Actually the Wheat Chex cereal isn't all half bad with 5 grams of fiber per serving, made from whole grains. But why stop with whole wheat grains when there are a plethora of other grains available today. That's why it's clear to see how Nature's Path Heritage Bites are a better option when it comes to a crunchy hexagon shaped cereal. Heritage bites contain buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth, millet, kamut and spelt. Talk about a multitude of super grains! Plus it is sweetened with organic evaporated cane sugar instead of basic sugar. And Heritage Bites are organic. Classic Party

Mix. The classic recipe that was made famous by the Chex brand over 50 years ago, contains a trio of Chex cereals, butter, nuts, seasonings and bagel chips. Well I've created my own version by using healthier ingredients. I'm taking goji berries, flax seed, sunflower seeds and maple syrup! And trust me, the flavor is outstanding! Perfect for a study time munchie, sports team snack, after school bite or a big bowl party mix. Make a lot and munch it all weekend..."Better" Party
