Love for Cereals - Raisin Bran

I love cereals. I do. I await to have a bowl of cereal for breakfast every morning. This may surprise many but I love, milk and cereals. Sounds routine but not, I experiment a lot. I try new cereals and relish the trial experiences.  This time around, I have decided to write a post on Raisin Bran's new additions.

I remember the first time I was introduced to a box of Raisin Bran cereals. I didn't like them at all, I felt they were too hard and as I always have cold milk, it takes time for the cereal flakes to soften after soaking in the milk bowl. The flakes are shaped as normal corn flakes but are made of wheat bran. The added raisins play the part of natural sweetener. No sugar needs to be added, and I suggest not to add any sugar too. After having the cereals for couple of days and realizing the nutritional value, I say I love it.

I always buy the big box 78Oz of Raisin Bran cereals at Costco. Lately, I started trying out different Raisin Bran options offered from the retail stores. The new options - Banana, Apple Strawberry Crunch, Cranberries. The banana option has elements of sweetened banana chips along with the raisins. Though it tastes good, it smells like a banana and is clearly for people with liking for the fruit. The other option is the apple strawberry crunch. No elements of the real fruits, only fruit flavored clusters. I didn't see a whole lot difference in taste but wasn't bad either. Next on the list is cranberries option, the cereal box replaces raisins with dried cranberries - more like Craisins. Good on taste, no drastic difference though!

Going forward, I will try more options as offered and post updates on this space!
