I want to begin by saying that Post provided a free sample of their Honey Bunches of Oats Honey Roasted cereal so I could review it. My participation is completely voluntary and my opinions, as always, are my own.
Now on to the juicy details!! :)
I have always been a fan of the Honey Bunches of Oats brand and have tried at least 5-6 different varieties over the years. They are all very, very tasty and packed full of whole grains, vitamins, and minerals. My main focus is going to be the taste as that seems to be the main thing that everyone wants to hear about. I will also get into the health benefits of the product for anyone wondering if this cereal can fit into their diets and/or daily routines. I tried this cereal many times in the past and always loved it. It's sweet but not SICKENING sweet. The slight taste of honey combined with the crispy flakes and crunchy oat clusters makes this cereal absolutely delicious. I find this cereal to be unique from other breakfast cereals as it brings together 4 nutritious grains (Wheat, Oat, Corn, and Rice) all wrapped up into one great tasting cereal. And if that isn't enough to convince you, Honey Bunches of Oats now has even MORE of the granola bunches added to it. I was thrilled about that addition because those are my favorite part! YUM! This cereal is yummy on its own but I have also tried it mixed with light vanilla yogurt and with skim milk. Both are quite tasty! I wouldn't recommend leaving the flakes in milk for too long as they do tend to get soggy, as with most cereals. Besides, who would want to spoil that awesome crunch?
Here are a few nutritional facts about this product, since we all know that taste AND nutrition are important. ;)
-10 grams of Whole Grain per serving
-6 grams of sugar (for anyone that consumes Honey Nut Cheerios, this has 6 grams of sugar per serving, Honey Nut Cheerios has 9)
-The variety that I sampled (Honey Roasted) provides 9 essential vitamins & minerals
-It's HEART HEALTHY! (0g Trans Far, 0g Saturated Fat, 0mg Cholesterol) As you know, this can reduce the risk of heart disease and that is always a good thing!
If you haven't tried this yet, I would highly recommend it. And, if Honey Roasted isn't for you, there are plenty of other flavors to try. Almond, Strawberry, Cinnamon Bunches, Vanilla Bunches, and many, many more! Try them ALL! I am sure you will find one that you will LOVE!
