Cheerios

Cheerios

Eating a bowl of Cheerios is a bland affair. Almost any of its variants tastes better. The only reason to eat it is that it’s not only the healthiest among them but one of the healthiest cereals on (in) the market.

It’s toasted whole grain oats and not much else. You’d have to read the ingredients list to even know there’s a tiny amount of sugar added. It’s also GMO-free, which makes it a top breakfast choice for healthy living.

Sorry you only grant unsweetened Cheerios 3 stars! I love them so much and am so disappointed that only the sweetened Cheerios are now available for sale in the stores here in Austria. Hard to find healthy, unsweetened cereals these days, it appears.

Entenmann’s Snack Size Powdered Donuts

Entenmann's Snack Size Powdered Donuts

The best way to eat these is not to put a whole donut in your mouth but to bite it in half. Less is more, or at least better, here. That probably has to do with the donut-to-powder ratio, which assures each piece is covered in tasty whiteness. When it comes to donuts, it doesn’t get much better than this.

Fruity Pebbles

Fruity Pebbles

Fruity Pebbles; imagine flattened Rice Krispies tie-dyed in various colors; tasted better when I was a kid. That taste was never really fruity, despite the name, but the distinct (artificial) flavor it does have was stronger and sweeter.

Maybe The Flintstones became health-conscious and decided to include less sugar. Maybe my taste buds changed over the millennia. I don’t know, but the experience of eating Fruity Pebbles has gone from great to merely good.
