Fiber One Cereal with Honey Clusters
By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Dec 6, 2006
One serving has 160 calories, only 1 gram of fat, and 44 grams of total carbohydrate which includes 14 grams of fiber which is 56% of the daily value (also 3 grams of soluble fiber) and only 4 grams of sugars! And there is also 10-25% of many vitamins and minerals. Add half a cup of skim milk and you are right at 200 calories. Some people like lower calories, but I can live with a 200 calorie breakfast - especially when I know that they are due in part to the wholesome goodness of fiber. One 15 ounce box costs $3.84 when I purchased it at Walmart. Another high fiber cereal, that also happens to be my favorite, is Kashi Go lean Crunch [read the review]. It not only has 32% of the daily fiber requirement, but also tastes great! Taste:

Jodi said: This cereal is just great. I was fearful about a bland bran taste, but this is really good. The honey clusters add diversity to the cereal and overall, I really like it. If it is not sweet enough for some, add a little Spenda to it and you'd be just fine. I am glad I tried it. The fiber content is huge and if I can make myself eat breakfast every day (not easy), this will greatly benefit me.

I try to get as much fiber as I can in my diet and when I saw Fiber One cereal with 56% of the recommended daily amount of fiber, I knew that I had to try it. Since there is so much fiber, you should expect that there is going to be a sort of "bran" taste to the cereal - and there is! It didn't have much taste other than that - it's not really sweet, although it does have "honey clusters" - which look like little balls of oats. There are lots of them in the cereal, and every now and again you get the soft crunch of one of the little clusters, but the taste and texture is greatly overshadowed by the bran taste of the rest of the cereal - really, they might as well have left them out. I actually liked the cereal though, because the bran taste is not too overwhelming. Although I couldn't see myself buying box after box of this cereal, but I would go back to it from time to time. Another vote for this cereal is over at Nutritious Junk [

Yum! I love this cereal! I find the sweetness to be just right for me. It's much tastier than All Bran, and you get a bigger serving size, too.
