I just want everyone to know that Post provided me with a free sample of their Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends cereal so that I could review it. My opinions expressed here are my own, though, and not influenced by the company in any way. With that said, let's get on to the review!

Okay, you know that it's healthy for you but WHAT ABOUT THE TASTE?! I wasn't sure how well I would like this cereal as I am not a huge fan of mango flavored products. They tend to taste very artificial. When I opened the box, it did smell very tropical and not sickening sweet which was a good thing. The cereal looked very appetizing and I was pleaantly surprised with how big the coconut shavings were. YUM! The texture was absolutely perfect and so crunchy! I did prefer the cereal plain over adding milk to it. The Silk Pure Almond milk that I buy is delicious but I just didn't care for it as much when combined with this cereal. I thought it made a yummy, healthy snack which is when I would most likely consume it. The overall flavor was good but I wouldn't say that it was one of my favorites. I loved the coconut flavor but the mango was just okay. (probably because I'm not a huge mango fan as it is) Would I buy this cereal again? Yes! I did think it made a good snack and I loved how tropical & unique it tasted. If you're a fan of Honey Bunches of Oats and/or tropical inspired products, give it a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. You can turn your breakfast meal or snack into a mini tropical getaway!! :)
