Kellogg's All-Bran Strawberry Medley Cereal

While I was at the grocery store the other day, I was given a sample ofKellogg's All-Bran Strawberry Medley. As I was munching away, the "sample lady" told me that they were promoting women's heart health (though men were free to try it too). I was convinced to buy it after trying it dry, so it must have been pretty tasty. Furthermore, I was (and still am) very intrigued by the textural medley that is found in each bite. After taking it home, I realized that the box does not have any claims about heart health, but does have a whole section on how to improve your digestive system.

Kellogg's All-Bran describes this cereal as "crunchy bran flakes & squares with granola clusters & real strawberries". There is a definite reason why the clusters and berries are listed last. I am just now realizing (as I dissect this cereal for the review) that granola clusters have also been mixed in - and this is my third bowl! The granola clusters are miniscule - think of about 3 pieces of oats grouped together with sugar - so when mixed with milk, they simply disappear beneath their hearty, crunchy bran flake counterparts. I scrounged up some granola clusters, if you want to call them that. Furthermore, the picture on the box is very deceiving. They show 6 whole strawberry slices in one bowl. Well, I don't think I had 6 WHOLE strawberry slices in my entire bag. The berries are basically bits and pieces mixed in and when milk is added the strawberry taste turns out to be a little fainter, but it's still apparent towards the end of the bite.
