Two-ish weeks ago I got full size boxes of Kellogg’s Fiber Plus Antioxidants Cereal to try. One box of Berry Yogurt Crunch & another box of Cinnamon Oat Crunch.
I was pretty excited to get these. Just a few weeks before I was contacted to give them a try, I saw them in Publix. We don’t buy much cereal, but I made a mental note to get these in the future. Luckily, I ended up with them for free
This was a great product for me to get. You see I LOVE healthy cereals: Crispix, Cheerios, Special K. Nathan loves cereals made for kids 6 and under: Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch. So I thought I’d get two very different opinions. I’d like them & he’d hate them.
WRONG.
We both absolutely loved them. The Berry Yogurt Crunch was my favorite, and I usually hate berry cereals. {Confession: I am pretty much morally opposed to the existence of cereal that changes the color of my milk. Weird I know.} This was so filling, and it was just the right amount of everything. The berry flavor wasn’t overwhelming, and I loved the little yogurt bites.
The Cinnamon Oat Crunch reminded me of Honey Nut Cheerios for some reason. It was good, and it definitely wasn’t too sweet at all. If we had bananas, I think they would have been a great addition to the cereal.
The nice things about both of these is that they would make great family cereals. You could easily get kids to eat either of these, and they are great for grown ups too! No more buying some sugary cereal for the kids and something more simple for the grown ups.
I didn’t write down the nutrition info, but I believe each cereal had about 190 calories in a serving and 10ish grams of fiber. Definitely very healthy.
We’ll be buying these again for sure. Especially the berry one. I just couldn’t get enough of it!
I was provided these two items for free through the Foodbuzz Tastemakers program. My opinions are my own and are honest.

Thanks for these rec’d. I love Cheerios Honey Nut, so I’ll have to try Cinnamon Oat Crunch! xoxo
I love Kelloggs honey nut cheerios for breakfast. Imagine eating your favorite breakfast cereal and looking down at your bowl to find that some black slivers have detatched from the cereal and are floating around in your bowl. I contacted General Mills about this and they have not got back to me yet, but they did send me two coupons one for five dollars and some change and another for a dollar. I am still eating the cheerios but all through breakfast I pick out cheerios that have black things ingrained in them or I miss one and pick it out of the milk. If I could find another cereal that would stay as firm as cheerios does in milk I think I would switch. One thing it has done for me is that I don’t eat as much. After awhile you kinda lose your appetite when you see the black things floating around in the milk. I would really like to know has anyone else run into this problem with the cereal and I would like to know what the black thing are.
Why so much sugar!?!?! I bet you could cut the sugar content in 1/2 and it would still taste sweet. Such a waste! I will not buy this.
I agree. I’m not a huge fan of tons of sugar in cereals, and this could have definitely been with less.
I agree also. I think if your wanting to switch over to a healthier cereal you should consider Fiber One or Kashi. Not only does it have more fiber per gram serving, but it also has less sugar and calories. You can literally eat more than 2x the servings for the Original Fiber One and still eat less calories, get in 100% of your fiber, and consume less white sugar (each serving has less than one gram) than either of the Fiber Plus cereals.
I wish all the cereal companies would stop placing so much sugar in their cereals. No wonder the kids of today have such a weight problem. If you add fresh fruit to the cereal bowl, that will be sweet enough and the people will benefit much more. When we were growing up, there wasn’t any cereal with added sugar. Why do you cater to the desires of the younger generation, when they are the ones who will end up with much worse health issues.
