General Mills Fiber One Cereals

The cereals were offered as part of the Bzzagent campaign from General Mills, fiber one cranberry almond and maple brown sugar.


The cranberry almond was chosen to be eaten first after seeing how cranberry was listed.

Upon opening the box was disappointed to find meager pieces of cranberry and almond. Nevertheless poured out a handful to munch on and it was good dry. A few days later milk was bought to try the cereals with. I poured a bowlful of cranberry almond and maple brown sugar on different days. The maple brown sugar reminded my siblings of the honey smacks cereal. Inside contained scant amount of pecans. The brown sugar coated the cereal which disintegrated in the milk and turned the milk to a light brown color. Both of the cereals became clumpy, but retained its crunch after a few minutes bathing in milk.

The cereals did not sit well with me. I have a low tolerance with sugar.The sugar content listed on the box stated 16 grams of sugar. The sugar came from fructose, corn syrup and/or maple syrup. The cereals are good to munch on and can be added to your cooking, but not with milk. The artificial flavors and ingredients was nauseating. The fiber one cereals are a no go [keeping stomach not growling for two hours], but their bars are rich in fiber and will keep you full [4-6hours].
