REVIEW: Blueberry Cheerios Cereal

Blueberry Cheerios Cereal

What are Blueberry Cheerios?

After decades of Honey Nut and the occasional new flavor of Cheerios, it seems like we’ve gotten at least 20 new varieties in the past couple years, with Blueberry being the latest to hit shelves.

How are they?

Blueberry Cheerios are not quite up to snuff with the previous fruit inspired flavors, but that’s not to say they’re bad.

Blueberry Cheerios Cereal Dry

First off, the scent is pitch perfect. I bet you could name this cereal in a blind sniff test with no hesitation. The cereal pieces appear to be caked with a purplish dust with little bits of actual pureed blueberry.

The flavor is not as strong as I expected. The first few bites give you a quick blueberry hit, but it soon fades as the dust dissipates into the milk.

Blueberry Cheerios Cereal Games

There are no artificial flavors, which I assumed and appreciated. That said, when it comes to blueberry, I think I prefer a regrettable sugary start to my morning. This is the adult’s Blueberry Toast Crunch, which is odd considering a toddler could master the games on the box.

Is there anything else you need to know?

Blueberry Cheerios Cereal Wet

It’s almost two cereals in one. You start with purple o’s and white milk, but within a minute you have an almost normal looking bowl of Cheerios floating in a purplish run-off.

The milk ends up being the tastiest part as the cereal pieces get blander. I drank the second half of the bowl, cereal pieces and all.

Conclusion:

I’ve tried most of the fruit Cheerios (Banana, Peach, Berry, etc.) and I honestly think they’re all superior. Blueberry is still a solid cereal, but I’d put it near the bottom in terms of Cheerios flavors.

I know we’ve had Fruity Cheerios in the past, but I would love a “Fruit Medley” mix consisting of all the previously mentioned flavors. Blueberry would make a great supporting player.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Krispy Kreme Fruit-Inspired Collection

/ / Fast Food News / 2 Comments

Krispy Kreme Fruit Inspired Collection

Krispy Kreme has introduced its Fruit-Inspired Collection, which will be available on Monday, May 6. There will be three fruit-flavored varieties:

Pineapple Doughnut: This is stuffed with pineapple-flavored filling and decorated with icing to make it look like the tropical fruit. While new to the U.S., the doughnut was available in Australia a few years ago.

Key Lime Doughnut: This doughnut features a Key Lime Kreme filling and should not be confused with Krispy Kreme’s previous Key Lime Pie Doughnut, which had graham cracker crumbles on it.

Strawberry Doughnut: This is packed with strawberry filling and decorated to resemble the fruit. But let’s be honest and point out that this is just Krispy Kreme’s heart-shaped donut in strawberry clothing.

Krispy Kreme’s Fruit-Inspired Collection will be available through Sunday, June 16 at participating shops across the U.S.

Prior to the release of those doughnuts, Krispy Kreme will be bringing back its Lemon Glazed Doughnut for one week only, from April 22 through April 28, at participating shops in the U.S. We reviewed it a year ago. Click here to read it.
