The breakfast path is paved with organic Gluten-Free Corn Flakes by Nature’s Path

Product: Nature’s Path Organic Fruit Juice Sweetened Gluten-Free Corn Flakes – $3.59

Most “normal” cereals are lost to me these days.  I can’t really just duck into the cereal section and pick anything off the shelf.  Not anymore.  And a lot of my favorites have had to be left in my food-tastic past after needing to go gluten-free.

But…every now and again, a company puts out a gluten-free product that is so, so much like what I used to eat that it even sparks a memory of the last time I ate it.

Nature’s Path Organic Fruit Juice Sweetened Gluten-Free Corn Flakes…are that kind of cereal.

I actually didn’t expect much from these.  I mean…corn flakes.  It’s tough to screw up corn flakes, but they can be so bland if done incorrectly.  I was nervous about it being…bland.  Or, worse yet, tasting like cardboard.

However, I was proven wrong.

This cereal was a gift from my roommate.  I sent her out to the grocery store and she returned with a gluten-free surprise for me.  Cereal.  Well…I do eat cereal almost every day.  And this was a change in pace from my usual gluten-free Chex varieties.  I like a little change of pace.  When I finally ran out of the boxes I had prior to this one, I cracked it open, dished out a serving size, and poured over a splash of unsweetened almond milk.

Breakfast was served.  And I tucked right into this bowl immediately.  One bite…and it was like I was eating the good, delicious corn flakes of my past.  Nature’s Path does it right with this organic variety.  Made simply with corn meal, grape and pear juice, and sea salt, this cereal is really getting back to basics.  But there is nothing basic about the flavor.  The fruit juices add a nice sweetness to the corn flakes.  And the cereal itself has a very light texture.  It’s not cardboard like at all.  And the flavor is just…amazing.

Now, I look forward to these each morning.  And I fear the day I run out.  Not really, they’re thankfully available at my local grocery store.  And for just about as much as Chex.  I’ll indulge myself then…as often as possible.  Yum.
