The fun starts in the bowl, as America’s No. 1 cereal brand brings back its happy heart shapes for the third year in limited-edition boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios and yellow-box original Cheerios, as well as its Apple Cinnamon, Chocolate and new Strawberry Banana flavors.

Cheerios wants to remind Americans that getting heart healthy tastes great and exercise can be fun. That’s why Buzz Bee and actor and rapper Ice-T have teamed up to lend their uniquely positive coaching style to the new Cheerios “Pour Your Heart Into It” workout series which encourages Americans to start to get their bodies moving and hearts thumping alongside a delicious heart-healthy bowl of Cheerios.

“This stuff doesn’t have to be hard,” said Ice-T. “It can be as simple as a bowl of Cheerios and a walk around the block. That’s why I wanted to join Buzz to share some different ways to start to get your heart pumping regularly, and help make diet and exercise a happy part of your day.”

Honey Nut Cheerios and other Cheerios flavors are made with whole grain oats and can help lower cholesterol as part of a heart-healthy diet.1 With the American Heart Association reporting heart disease is likely to remain the top killer in the U.S. indefinitely due to long-term COVID-19 impact, it’s more important than ever to lead a happy, heart-healthy lifestyle with a focus on eating habits and exercise.

Fans can join Coach Ice-T on Pandora as he narrates the 4-minute walking, stretching, core strengthening and dance “Pour Your Heart Into It” workouts, which are accessible via QR code on the back of the limited-edition happy heart shape boxes.

“Cheerios has always been a delicious and heart-healthy choice, and our limited-edition happy heart shapes are designed to remind everyone that taking care of your heart can be fun, too,” said Kathy Dixon, senior brand experience manager for Cheerios. “This year, we’re taking it a step further with our partnership with Ice-T to inspire a change of heart around how people think about both diet and exercise. Instead of a chore, these can actually be some of the best moments in your day.”

Cheerios will also help you take your happy heart shapes on the go, by giving away a free* cereal snack bowl from S’well as part of the brand’s American Heart Month efforts.
