Cheerios MultiGrain Cereal
By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Feb 9, 2005
Nutritionally, this cereal better be good, because that's all they talk about on the front of the box and because it has no taste. We find that it does offer at least 25% of your daily requirement in lots of vitamins and minerals. In fact, you get 50% of folic acid, and 45% iron. Also you get 3 g of dietary fiber - which is 11% of the recommended dietary allowance, low sugar, 3g protein and only 110 calories from 1 cup of cereal (150 calories with 1/2 cup of skim milk added). So nutritionally, this cereal is pretty good. In terms of price, it's not bad at about $2.50 for 11.25 oz, but will I be buying this cereal again? I think not, not unless it only cost ... well, actually never mind - it's just a no. Wait, that's not fair and I don't want to be too negative. If price wasn't a factor and I needed to lose weight and eat healthier, then yes, I would buy this cereal. Taste:

Although multigrain cheerios aren't as flavorable as most other multigrain products (like wheat thins) their slight sweetness is a nice bonus especially when trying to lose weight. And it's just enough where it doesn't defeat the purpose of the multigrain (although an artificial sweetener may have made more sense) Overall its a pretty good cereal with plenty of benefits, the article pretty much says it all though I think it tastes a bit better than you gave it off.

The taste is not the best thing about this cereal. While not exactly 'spit it out bad', it was more like the, "Where is the taste? Oh well, at least it's good for you" kind of cereal. It is not the worst cereal I've tasted. In fact, the way I determine if a cereal is incredibly bad is by comparing it to Raisin Bran. Now that's one nasty tasting cereal. How people eat that is beyond me. But that's not what we're reviewing here, so onward.

I LOVE Multigrain Cheerios. Although I totally agree about Raisin Bran being the worst tasting cereal ever - I can't say I follow you on MultiGrain Cheerios. They are slightly sweet, filling and I could eat them 3 meals a day!
