New Product Review:

Eggo Real Fruit Pizza

Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 9/9/2010

The good news: It's a a great idea. It's fun and it's tasty.

The bad news: 30% of of your daily recommended saturated fat and 17 grams of sugar per serving.

The variety I tried was Mixed Berry Granola. I used the microwave cooking method.

The actually cooked product isn't nearly as pretty as the pizza on the box, but in comparison to some other microwave products, it still looks fairly appetizing. You may have to move a few berries around to make sure you get one in every bite.

The amount of berries might seem small, but the taste of berries is BIG. Raspberry is the most prevalent flavor and you get a burst of real berry flavor in every bite, even in those rare bites that have no physical berries.

The crust is softer than you might expect which actually works well with the toppings. It's a sweet crust and, despite wheat flour being the first ingredient, it doesn't taste like a wheat crust.

The granola splattered across the top of the pizza acts more like a texture filler than a noticeable ingredient. It would have been nice if the granola had crisped and stood out a little more.

This Eggo Real Fruit pizza reminded me of a cobbler or berry crisp. There's a home cooked dessert feeling to it to. If nothing else, it will remind you how wonderful warm berries can be.

If you think you might like this product, you probably will. Give this one a try as a special treat.
