365 Little Cubbies cereal: The Whole Foods equivalent to Lucky Charms, this cereal certainly tastes less artificial. The bear-shaped pieces (irregular and abstract) are coated with a glossy, slightly sweet glaze, and the pink and white marshmallow bits are reminiscent of what you might find in a hot cocoa mix. The texture of the marshmallows out-of-the-box is strange but mellows out in a bowl of milk. Overall, an okay cereal. 2.5/5.0

Three Sister Cinnamon Sweets: Bears an uncanny resemblance to Cinnamon Toast Crunch (which I'm sure is their intention). This bagged cereal brand is one of the most economical options from Whole Foods. Maintains good level of crunch in milk, but is overly sweet and leaves a mound of sugar and cinnamon at the bottom of the bowl. 2.5/5.0

Trader Joe's Neapolitan Puffs Cereal: I like beans a lot, but I didn't expect to have them in my cereal. I unknowing purchased this bean-based cereal from Trader Joe's (I bought them because I was intrigued by the idea of Neapolitan cereal). It's made with a combination of chickpea, navy bean, and pinto bean powder along with brown rice.

Calbee Frugra fruit granola cereal: This is a Japanese cereal that contains dried strawberries, raisins, granola, almonds, and pumpkin seeds. The strawberries give it a pretty prominent sour flavor. Fairly standard as far as granola goes otherwise. 2.5/5.0

Nature's Path blueberry cinnamon flax: An organic health food cereal containing a powerhouse of quality ingredients yet doesn't taste particularly good, especially the fiber \"twigs\" that taste a bit like what I'd imagine hamster bedding might taste like. Once in a while, you get a dried blueberry and feel like you won the lottery. Unfortunately, even that is small and insubstantial. 2.0/5.0

Kind Banana Nut Clusters: Found this granola on sale at my local grocery store and picked it up after having generally good experiences with their bars. This bag is a low fat and sugar product, and you definitely taste it. I'm one for lighter snacks, but this granola verges on flavorless. The banana flavor is very faint, and some handfuls have a strong cinnamon taste, which I don't tend to associate with banana nut. Additionally, the clusters are dense, making them overly crunchy. I think it could work on plain yogur... (read more) 2.0/5.0
