Product: Erewhon Gluten-Free Organic Crispy Brown Rice Cereal with Mixed Berries – $4.89+
Fruit makes me happy. So…so happy!
I mean, you hand me a pint or two of berries and you would think you just handed me the entire world. This is how much I adore fruit. All fruit. Any fruit. Juicy, ripe, and amazing.
So, how does freeze dried fruit translate in a crispy rice cereal? Well…not to bad to be honest!
My breakfast this morning – Erewhon Gluten-Free Organic Brown Rice Cereal with Mixed Berries.
I was actually a little skeptical, despite the amazing flavor that I experienced with Erewhon’s Strawberry Crisp cereal back when I was visiting Denver, Colorado. You would think I wouldn’t have my doubts, but when little Rice Krispies are being poured out of a box and little dried-up berries are tumbling out amongst them, I started to second-guess my choice. I mean, the only reason I bought this cereal was that it was on clearance at the grocery store (hoping that’s not an omen that they are shrinking their gluten-free selection…).
But, this morning, it was my breakfast before I went to the gym and got my sweat on. So I was hoping that it would be delicious and satisfying…and hold me through the workout. You know what…an hour and fifteen minutes later and it had. Of course, once I stopped I was so ready to eat, but the cereal did it’s job.
So…let’s talk some more about this cereal.
Erewhon Gluten-Free Organic Crispy Brown Rice Cereal with Mixed Berries is a fruity burst of flavor in your mouth. Like Rice Krispies? Good. You’ll like these then. They don’t snap, crackle, or pop when you pour milk (or unsweetened almond milk, in my case) over them, but they are packed with amazing, delicious flavor and the freeze dried berries just come to life when they are swimming in a sea of milk.
Erewhon basically takes whole grains of US grown organic brown rice and toast them up to get them nice and crunchy. They are glazed with honey and brown rice syrup and then combined with freeze dried strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. Mmmm…berries…mixed berries at that, means that the flavor potential is out of this world. And here…it really is.
If you are a berry fanatic like myself, then this cereal is going to excite your taste buds and make you one happy breakfast eater all at the same time. It’s a gluten-free deliciously fruity treat, spoonful-for-spoonful, first thing in the morning. After all…when strawberries are involved…it wins.
