Attune Foods cereal {Review/Giveaway}

153 Comments

 

Just a few days back I wrote a post on my vices…I completely forgot to add two things in that post: socks and cereal. I always start my day by putting back my socks and having a nice bowl of cereal with cold milk!

I don’t really have a favorite cereal but I like the ones that have fiber in them. I have always been eating fiber due to my slow digestive system. It used to be bad when I was a little girl but it has thankfully gotten better with time and lots of fiber!

While on my search for healthy food for our family I found Attune Foods who graciously sent us 3 different boxed cereals from their Uncle Sam brand.

 

An American Original since 1908, Uncle Sam has nourished families for over 100 years! Red winter wheat berries with flaxseeds make this a wholesome high fiber & heart-healthy cereal.

 

 

I have to start my day with breakfast. Always had and always will. And cereal is the best way to go! Simple and fast but still filling, specially if it has fiber!

For our review we received their Uncle Sam Original Cereal, Uncle Sam Honey Almond Cereal and Uncle Sam Strawberry Cereal.

 

 

{Uncle Sam Original Cereal}

 

This was my personal favorite. It having 10g of fiber must be te top reason behind this. The original cereal is made with toasted whole wheat flakes and whole flaxseeds.

I eat it as a snack and not necessarily as my morning cereal (I have to go through an opened box), besides, who dosen’t like breakfast at any given time!? Plus, it adds a great crunch to your yogurt! Tried and approved!

Ingredients: Whole wheat kernels, whole flaxseed, salt, barley malt.

 

 

{Uncle Sam Honey Almond Cereal}

 

This is everyone’s second favorite, except Tyler, he did not like it! But, as he put it: “I only ate it because I know it is healthy”. Healthy it is! I did like it because it is not too sweet! It only has a hint of honey that doesn’t over power the rest of the ingredients.

Each serving has 6 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein. And the almonds are delicious!

This cereal I eat as is…though, now that I think about it, it would go great on a parfait! Simply replace the granola with your Uncle Sam Honey Almond Cereal! :D

 

Ingredients: Toasted whole wheat berry flake (whole wheat kernels, salt, barley malt), sliced almonds, flax seed, evaporated cane juice, honey, natural flavor.

 

 

{Uncle Sam Strawberry Cereal}

 

This is the boys’ favorite one and it is all thanks to the strawberries which, to my surprise, taste great! Just like real strawberries! Both A & J ate their whole bowl starting, of course, with the strawberries.

I have only tried the wheat flakes and they are good! I thought I should spare the strawberries and let the boys eat them since they love them so!

Ingredients: Toasted whole wheat berry flake (whole wheat kernels, salt, barley malt), flaxseed, evaporated cane juice, freeze-dried strawberries, natural strawberry flavor.

 

If you are looking for a healthier breakfast cereal make sure to give Uncle Sam a try! They taste good and they are good for you, couldn’t get any better!
