Today I tried Crispy Brown Rice with Mixed Berries (my daughters first choice). As I poured it into the bowl, I could tell that the crispy rice would be on the sweet side, as they had the look of a sugary type glaze to them. However, the berry pieces was real freeze dried berries, not just some colorful fruit flavored blobs. As I poured coconut milk on top, I was reminded of childhood: the sound of crispy rice talking. I told my daughter to listen carefully, her cereal was talking to her. She thought that was pretty cool.
I can say that my daughter categorically loved this cereal. It was a little sweeter than I normally like for breakfast, but it was tasty. I definitely give this a positive review, but will I buy it again? Probably not. We don't generally buy a lot of cereal in this house. Breakfast normally consists of eggs and veggies for the adults and an egg and a quesadilla for the girl. Cereal is more of a snack food here when we have it. If, however, cereal is actually requested by my daughter this is one I will definitely consider over the many others.
Crispy Brown Rice with Mixed Berries is dairy, wheat, gluten, fish, shellfish, tree nut, peanut, and soy free. This particular cereal contains honey, so not vegan.
I completely forgot about listening to rice crispies! How neat.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying the cereals, and thanks for the review. I feared this one would be a bit too sweet, so it is good to know.
We eat eggs or smoothies for breakfast, not cereal people either. But I do buy a couple versions for baking and cooking with. They are so versatile. Enjoy!
