New Product Review:

Cheerios Protein

Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 7/9/2014

I tried 2 varieties of this cereal: 1) Cinnamon Almond; and 2) Oats & Honey. Of the two, I narrowly preferred the Oats & Honey variety.

In both products, the small granola clusters tend to settle toward the bottom of the box. I advise that you shake the box up a little before pouring a bowl.

In these cereals, (I believe smaller-than usual) traditional Cheerios pieces are mixed with small, actually-crunchy granola clusters which add a new dimension to the Cheerios experience.





In the Cinnamon Almond variety, the cinnamon has a big presence - any more and it would have been too much. The Oats & Honey variety tastes exactly like Honey Nut Cheerios. The granola clusters in that cereal make less of an impact. It's more of a sensation of "why do my Honey Nut Cheerios feel funny?"

With that said, I liked both cereals very much. I liked the Cinnamon Almond version because it has a flavor you don't usually equate with Cheerios. I liked the Oats & Honey version because it reminded me of an old favorite.
