QuakerLife Cereal (Honey Graham)

By: Delia L | Nov 7, 2009

I was perusing the cereal aisle when I came across Quaker Honey Graham Life Cereal. The regular version of Life cereal is one of my favorites for its simple yet tasty and healthy nature, so I wanted to see how this cereal compared to the original.

The Honey Graham version looks identical to the original Life cereal, but the taste is a bit perplexing. It's hard to pinpoint the difference in taste between the two - but it's there and I would say this one is better - but only slightly.

The ingredient list for both is the same with the exception of the addition of "natural and artificial flavors" to the Honey Graham flavor. This version is crunchy and mildly sweet, but I can't quite identify the taste - not much of a honey or Graham cracker like flavor. In fact, being sweet is probably the best descriptor for this, although it's not overwhelmingly so - it just doesn't have a very interesting flavor profile (but how complex do you need your cereal to be). ... continue reading »

Quaker Golden Maple Oatmeal Squares Cereal

By: Delia L | Nov 6, 2009

I am a huge fan of the sweet yet wholesome Quaker Brown Sugar Oatmeal Squares. It's not a particularly flashy cereal, but when I saw the Golden Maple, I knew I had to try it.

These Quaker Golden Maple Oatmeal Squares are very similar in structure to the original, but with the new flavor, they have carved out their own niche. When I opened the bag inside, I could instantly smell the maple scent. It reminded me of other maple syrup-inspired cereals, but I knew this cereal was much healthier for me with whole oat flour as the main ingredient.

There is a mild sweetness but not overwhelmingly so. Because the squares are pretty thick and crunchy (did I mention ... thick), they work well with milk and have amazing crunch in the bowl, or as a snack by themselves. This is another win from Quaker

Each cup provides 210 calories, 18% of the daily value for fiber, 12 grams of sugars and 6 grams of protein. There is also a host of vitamins and minerals, most notably 90% DV iron and 100% DV folic acid. Sure there are other lower calorie cereals out there, but trust me, this one is filling, nutritious, has a sane ingredients list and can;t be beat as a snack.

Wild Harvest Natural Raisin Bran Cereal

By: Sarah J | Nov 6, 2009

You're looking at a cereal fiend here! I just love the stuff and while I have my favorites, I still keep an eagle eye out to try new ones.Wild Harvest Natural Wholesome Raisin Bran Cereal seemed to call out to me when I was at the grocery store on my last trip. The packaging design made me pay attention, but it was the nutrition claims on the front of the box that made me decide to try it: 24 whole grains per serving, excellent source of fiber and good source of iron ... why not! I must say that Raison Bran is not my favorite type of cereal (it might be my least favorite), but hey, there must be a good brand out there somewhere - and this could be it.

I have to admit - this stuff is good - hard to believe I'm saying this about Raisin Bran, or maybe my taste buds have evolved to appreciate the more nutritious cereals. The flakes are perfectly crunchy and lightly sweet. The raisins are deliciously plump and provide a nice change in texture from the crunchy cereal.

Each cup provides 180 calories, 28% of the daily value for fiber and 5 grams of protein. The ingredients are all natural and the taste is great. What more could you want from a cereal?!
