Pujols' strong play helped lead his team to the championship, including a historic Game Three performance in which he hit three home runs and collected six RBIs en route to his team's 16-7 victory.
Pujols previously was honored on the original Wheaties box in 2005, and is one of five athletes who helped co-create Wheaties FUEL. The whole grain, fiber, b vitamins, and simple and complex carbohydrates in Wheaties FUEL help give active individuals, like Pujols, the nutrition needed to stay active.
The limited-edition Albert Pujols Wheaties FUEL box marks an especially exclusive offer for the iconic Wheaties brand. True Pujols fans will want to get their collectible boxes on Saturday before they're gone. For a complete list of stores offering the collectible boxes, go to Facebook.com/Wheaties.
About Wheaties and Wheaties FUEL
For more than 85 years, Wheaties has been committed to providing athletes with the nutrition they need to help them perform at their best. Wheaties 100% whole grain flakes provide a simple source of long-lasting energy. Some of the greatest athletes in American history have been honored by being featured on the front of the Wheaties box. The team behind "The Breakfast of Champions" has worked for decades to learn from food scientists, health professionals and athletes about what it takes to fuel an active lifestyle. With that learning, the Wheaties team added Wheaties FUEL to round out the family of Wheaties products. FUEL was designed with the help of Peyton Manning, triathlete Hunter Kemper, Kevin Garnett, gold medal-winning decathlete Bryan Clay, Albert Pujols and sports nutritionist Dr. John Ivy. The result is a delicious honey cinnamon crunch that meets the nutritional needs of today's champion athletes and delivers long-lasting energy from whole grain and b-vitamins to help release energy provided by food, and provides an excellent source of fiber.
