I received my sample yesterday so decided to try it this am. Well, this s NOT a cereal I would buy. I doesn't really have any flavour and the granola clusters fell apart. the only thing this cereal has going for it is it's high in fibre(hence the name), but I'm sure there are tastier cereals that are just as high in fibre.
here's a comparision to other cereals, sorry they're on their side
Left column Right column
Fibre Plus Rice Crispies
Frosted Mini Wheats Cap'n Crunch
Rice Crispies(again)
I tried my sample and didn't like it either. Had a little strawberry taste on it's own but with milk there was nothing.
I treid it also and would not buy these at all. I gave a little spoon-full to my kids and DH and they did not like it either. oh well. Thank god we tried it 1st..:)
Our sample arrived today but we haven't tried it yet though by the sounds of it I'm not expecting much, lol....I wonder if it would taste any better if you add strawberries or some other fruit to it????
Looks like dog food. :shrug:
I like the taste.. without milk.
Lol, CanadianBella, you are so hilarious. :) :) :top: Your comment made me laugh a lot.
I have to say that I will eat just about any kind of cereal...but after trying the brown sugar sample I have to agree that it's pretty darn gross lol. It has a weird after taste?
I said the same thing!Quote:

I didn't mind the flavour, what I didn't like was the texture of the cereal....reminded me of Captain Crunch. I was a little surprise to see such a high sugar content
i can guess he didn't like them :lolsign:Quote:

my SIL said she really likes this cereal.:eek: I told her I would send my coupons to her.
I wouldn't be surprised at the high sugar content, a lot also have ridiculously high sodium levels. Mostly why I stopped eating cereal (really only ate Museli Mix). Smoothies for the win!Quote:

Although, I've always preferred to nibble dry cereal as a snack. lol. Even so...if it looks like dog food (LOL) I might have a hard time with the visual before I even get to the taste.

Yeah guys, my dog wouldn't even eat it, and thats saying something ! :lol:Quote:

I take a pass. There are tons of other cereals out there!
i agree.. the free sample was pretty poor with or without milk
its been my experience that with any cereal with fiber in the title, the taste/texture is probably going to resemble that of hamster food. if you're looking to add fiber into your breakfast diet, try adding those all bran buds into your mix of favourite cereal. you only need to add a few to make it worthwhile, so you'll barely notice the extra fiber intake.
It has an odd taste. It wasn't horrible, I might buy a box if I can get it free, but otherwise nope. My sister liked it, I didn't mind it, but both my parents were not impressed.
I didn't like it much either...but hey, I figure if I'm eating bran it ain't because I'm hungry...if you know what I mean ;)
I guess I'm odd... I really liked it a lot. But then I never eat cereal with milk (lactose issues) so I always have my cereal dry. I quite enjoyed it..
Wow I'm a bit surprised by all the negative reviews... I personally really liked the honey and brown sugar one! I tried some dry and some with my vanilla coconut milk and I liked it both ways! I would buy it :)
I really liked it! I'm waiting on my sample of the maple one but I'm on my second box of the summer berries one. I usually eat them with vanilla soy milk but this time around we just bought reg 2% cow milk and aside from the fact of how soggy they get in a small amount of time- I really enjoy them.
My dog likes them and I let my bunny try it too (I know I shouldn't have bc of the high sugar content but she went binkying all over the room with happy sugar high!)
I was really disappointed as well. I tried the berry one. I like natural cereals but that was gross!
Mine was the same, brown sugar one. I nibbled on it while at the computer. ( from the box, no milk) Free still didn't make it taste good. Natalka, I think you were accurate in calling it healthy Styrofoam, lol
Haven't tried this but I'd never expect a processed cereal to have much fiber in it anyway. I'll stick to adding flax, hemp hearts and chia seeds to granola. Based on the reviews here, it sounds much tastier anyway :)
Wow I guess Im over ruled! I love the taste with milk! :) I think is soo good! If no one wants their coupons, Id appreciate them :P
PM Me :)
