<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Every time I see a new banana-flavored product on shelves, my inner Primate comes out. I have to fight the urge to beat my chest like an excited gorilla right there in the aisle.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s something about that flavor that always resonates with me. Cakes, breads, candies, ice cream, yogurts, it doesn\u2019t matter \u2013 if you make it banana, you\u2019ve got my money.<\/p>\n
Sadly, I haven\u2019t tasted many cereals flavored with the fruit. There\u2019s never been a huge market for them, and when they do come out, they always seem to get discontinued. I can recall a few Honey Bunches of Oats types and a Minion one, but beyond that my experience with them are lacking. <\/p>\n
Good thing Limited Edition Banana Nut Cheerios has come to my rescue.<\/p>\n

I wish I could tell you I got a waft of fresh banana bread when I tore the bag open, but in reality, the smell was kinda indistinguishable. I don\u2019t know, I expected more, but to me it wasn\u2019t distinctly banana<\/span>.<\/p>\n Since these are \u201cbanana nut\u201d flavored, I figured I\u2019d try them with almond milk as well as whole milk. I also had Egg Nog, but couldn\u2019t pull the trigger on using that as milk, despite the pleas from the voices inside my head.<\/p>\n I considered mixing in slices of the yellow fruit, but I\u2019m of the controversial opinion that putting slimy fruit pieces in cereal doesn\u2019t enhance it all that much. <\/p>\n With the first bite, I got hit with cinnamon, but that instantly blended into the banana flavor. Don\u2019t expect anything overly sweet, because this uses real fruit puree, not artificial flavor. (More on that later.)<\/p>\n On the next few bites, I realized this variety may as well have been any Cheerios flavor. It all mushed into generic Cheerios. While there were hints of a great cereal there, it was short lived.<\/p>\n Now I was ready to call Banana Nut Cheerios a big disappointment when it hit me with the hidden ace up its sleeve \u2013 delicious<\/span> cereal<\/span> milk<\/span>.<\/p>\n Let me backtrack. The \u201cwhole\u201d milk cereal was delicious. Unflavored almond milk is worthless, especially with cereal. The \u201cnuttiness\u201d did nothing to enhance the flavor. Not only that, it\u2019s more watery than skim, and made for a mundane bowl.<\/p>\n Whole milk, however, soaked into the little O\u2019s and made it come to life. You\u2019d be hard pressed to find many cereals that improve as they sog, but this one bucked the trend. The flavor improved as they settled and the runoff culminated in banana bread-flavored creaminess.<\/p>\n Still, I left a tad underwhelmed. I must just prefer a sugary artificial flavor to natural. I guess that\u2019s the kid in me. I\u2019d be all in on Banana Toast Crunch.<\/p>\n Banana Nut Cheerios are worth a try, but they weren\u2019t better than reliable Honey Nut variety. If you can only afford one box, I\u2019d recommend the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios over these as well.<\/p>\n (Nutrition Facts – 3\/4 cup \u2013 110 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 120 milligrams of sodium, 80 milligrams of potassium, 22 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 8 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.50 Every time I see a new banana-flavored product on shelves, my inner Primate comes out.
