Kellogg's Jumbo Multi-Grain Rice Krispies Cereal

Kellogg's Jumbo Multi-Grain Rice Krispies CerealI have never been a fan of the airy and unsatisfying regular Rice Krispies (although Snap, Crackle and Pop have always had my heart). Well, now I can officially tell the boys that I genuinely like one of their products: Jumbo Multi-Grain Rice Krispies. When they ramped up the size of the infamous Rice Krispies, they also ramped up the density. Therefore, instead of a bunch of airy bits of nothing, you are presented with a bowl (or hand) full of more substantial, but still light and airy, cylindrical cereal pieces.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 cup (27 grams)
Calories: 90
Total Fat: 0%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 170 mg, 7%
Protein: 1 gram
Carbohydrates: 24 grams
Fiber: 3 grams, 11%
Sugar: 8 grams
Price: $2.50 (11.2 ounces)
Furthermore, this new (and, in my opinion) improved version is graced by a touch of honey, which makes all of the difference in the world. Actually, this cereal tastes 99% identical to Honey Kix, with Kix possessing a slightly different texture and shape.

Each 1 cup (27 gram) serving of Kellogg's Jumbo Multi-Grain Rice Krispies Cereal provides a mere 90 calories, no fat, 3 grams of fiber (11% of the daily value), 8 grams of sugar and 1 gram of protein . The ingredient list contains nothing out of the ordinary (rice, flour, sugar, cornmeal, honey, oil, salt and added vitamin) and manages to be on the shorter side.

Chex Cinnamon Cereal

Chex Cinnamon CerealChex cereal may seem boring, with varieties like Wheat, Rice and Corn - those words don't exactly conjure up lip smacking anticipation - however, I enjoy all of the aforementioned foods and knew that when I saw Cinnamon Chex, it was worth a shot.

I don't think there is a cinnamon flavored cereal reviewed that we haven't given postive ratings to, and Chex Cinnamon can certainly hold it's own. The first spoonful will immediately bring back memories of of cinnamon sugared toast - or conjure up those images if you've never had that particular treat (my mom used to make me as a child). The flavor is spot on with that delightful, almost buttery, cinnamon-sugar essence. There are also plain Chex dispersed among the powdery coated Chex, providing a neutral base for the delicious flavor to rest upon (kind of like the crust of cinnamon sugar toast).

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 3/4 cups
Calories: 120
Total Fat: 2 grams, 2%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 190 mg, 8%
Protein: 2 grams
Carbohydrates: 25 grams
Fiber: 0 grams
Sugar: 8 grams
Price: $2.59 (13.5 ounces)
Now, that is the experience I had while eating it straight from the box. Once you add milk, kiss it all goodbye. Most of the powdery cinnamon sugar coating is sweeped off of the crunchy cereal and sinks to the bottom of the milk, making for a bowl of cereal that tastes oddly similar to plain old Chex cereal. Once all of the cereal is gone, you are left with some overly sweet milk. Long Story Short: Eat this stuff straight up (or perhaps mixed in yogurt). ... continue reading »

Even though there are happy kids on the box, this cereal is tasty and nutritious enough for happy grown-ups too.

Life Cereal has a nice crunch with a mild sweetness and holds milk well. The box emphasizes that this cereal is made with whole grain Quaker oats, which promotes good heart health, and sure enough, the first ingredient is whole grain oat flour, not sugar. It is just simply delicious.
