Breakfast of Champions

As I was shopping a couple of weeks ago, I looked for foods that would be healthier than the products I had been buying. I searched for granola, but couldn't find quite what I was looking for. Finally, I found this and thought, "That sounds good!" :

What wouldn't be healthy about getting 100% of your daily whole grains made of whole grain wheat and barley cereal??

Well, it is healthy. However. I now remember why I don't like to eat healthy. My breakfast of champions:


As you can see, it looked like ground beef in milk. I tried to look past that and took my first bite. *Crunch, crunch, crunch* My first thought was that it was bland. Then came the flavor. Baaad flavor. I am at a loss of words for even describing the awful taste it left in my mouth. I forced myself to at least swallow this one bit of healthy, "good-sounding" cereal. *Crunch, crunch, "Don't gag!", crunch, crunch* Finally I swallowed it. I stared at my ground beef-like cereal. The milk looked the most appetizing. And I despise milk. Needless to say, I drank most of the milk and left the cereal. Worst. Breakfast. EVER.

  1. Ick. I'd sprinkle it on yogurt instead of trying to eat it out of the bowl like that. Might be a way for you to continue to get the health benefits of what you paid for without the gag reflex.

  2. Yeah, I might try that. It was pretty awful lol. My husband was a trooper and ate his whole bowl!

  3. Mix it half and half with honey bunches of oats and let it sit for a minute in the milk to reduce the crunchiness! It tastes MUCH better if you do that! =D
