Newman’s Own Sweet Enough Honey Flax Flakes Cereal

22 06 2009

I love my GoLean and PB Puffins but sometimes, I crave something that’s a lot more like those sugary kids’ cereals and I’m not afraid to admit it. I’d never buy a box of Apple Jacks or Frosted Flakes, and  I’ve recently discovered a better way to deal with my temptation.

I saw this cereal a while go, and knowing Newman’s Own reputation, I decided to try it out.

Ingredients: Wheat Bran, Sugar, Oat Bran, Flaxseed, Honey, Salt, Barley Malt Extract, Natural Flavors, Mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E) Added For Freshness.

Taste: The cereal was really crunchy and sweet, which is just what I wanted. Sugar is the second ingredient on the list, but it is only 8 grams per serving (compared to 19 grams in Raisin Bran, 13 grams in Kashi Go Lean Crunch and 12 grams in Frosted Flakes). I also like the addition of flax in it and the short list of ingredients.

I would not put this in my regular cereal rotation but it is definitely a good one to satisfy cravings for sweet cereal. I’d like to try other varieties as well, but for a 100 cals in a 3/4 cup serving, sign me up!

What cereal do you like the most?

Kashi Island Vanilla is my favorite cereal!
I never saw that kind of cereal before, but I’m really not that big on super sweet cereals anyway.

My favourite is Kashi GO Lean Crunch- hands down!

Thanks for the recommendation! I love cereal so I have to pick this one up once I run low on all the others!

I like the TJ’s cereal that reminds me of Kashi GoLean Crunch, but better: it’s honey almond flax and it’s deeeeelish.

This cereal sounds great to mix with PB puffins and Go Lean. If I bump into it in the store I am def going to buy it!! Thanks!

I could die happily with a box of anything from Kashi in my hands. It’s all just so good!

Right now I’m lovin Kashi U and Kashi GoLean crunch with honey, almonds & flax but Quaker oatmeal squares are one of my all time favs. I like plain cereals that I can add a lot into! Otherwise, my favorite unhealthy cereal is cocoa pebbles and cinnamon toast crunch, although I haven’t had either in forever!

I will have to look for this! It sounds good!

My favorite cereals include:
All types of granola
Raisin Bran
Plain Bran Flakes (I eat these dry for a snack!)

Basically, all cereal from the Kashi company rock my life. Fiber, taste, crunch, you name it they’ve got it! ;)

i’ve never seen that cereal.

my favorites are not the best for me :)
- cinnamon toast crunch
- cocoa krispies
- cap’n'crunch

BUT, I rarely eat cold cereal. I have to have something more than that for breakfasts, so if/when I do have cereal, it’s usually a snack.

Do we love Paul Newman or do we love Paul Newman?! Look at that face – timeless.
I don’t eat much cereal lately but I love me some Nature’s Path granola!
P.S. Rob likes Cookie Crunch and eats it for dessert sometimes.

Kashi GoLean is by far my fave, but this cereal looks right up my alley. I’ve never seen or heard of it before though!

I’ve never seen that cereal! I love kid’s cereal every once in awhile too, like cinnamon toast crunch (cascadian farms cinnamon crunch) or frosted flakes (they have this envirokids cereal that’s yummy). That Newman’s Own cereal sounds great!
