Special K Granola
From Kellogg's
Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 1/19/2010This is a decent granola cereal. The flavor is pretty straight-forward: sweetened, toasted oats with a hint of vanilla. The box indicates that it is also flavored with a touch of honey. Buyers should be aware that it's also flavored with 9 grams of sugar per serving - not a horrible amount, but a little surprising for a cereal touting itself as low fat.
My favorite aspect of this cereal was the clusters - the oats, rice and bran that stick together to form crunchy little clumps. A lot of cereals that contain cluster pieces disappoint. After transportation and handling at the grocery store, it's not uncommon for clusters to bust apart or un-cluster. That wasn't the case with Special K Granola. If you reach inside the box for a dry handful, you'll see that the cluster to un-clusered ratio is impressive.

My only complaint might be that this cereal is a tinge too sweet and that sweetness tastes more like sugar than the honey they're promoting on the box.
Overall, this is a good standard granola cereal with no surprises. You get what you expect. If the price is as reasonable at your grocery store, I recommend giving this one a try.

I have had sweeter Granola than this... The price is very reasonable... I would like to see raisins or bananas added... Overall, its good just the way it is... But I have to admit, I am disappointed they added rice to the mix... Removing the rice probably would remove some of the grams of sugar...

Low fat doesn't always mean low calorie. It can have no fat, but a ton of sugar, and they can call it no fat.

I don't get how this is low fat when it has more caleries then most cereals, 190 compared to 160 on average, and the same sugar content as most cereals, 9 grams. ave. 6-11.
