In law school, I was taught a way of legal writing that begins with the conclusion, follows with supporting evidence, and then restates the conclusion. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s my conclusion. Now, here\u2019s my supporting evidence\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few months, I transitioned to a vegan diet for various reasons. Many assume that a vegan diet is a \u201chealthy\u201d one, but those of us who enjoy junk food know there\u2019s a lot of food that people think is \u201chealthy,\u201d but isn\u2019t. <\/p>\n<p>Potato chips, hard candy, popsicles, soda, beer&#8230;often, these are vegan. One of my thrills of eating junk food, however, is finding that stereotypical \u201cjunk food\u201d that is closer to \u201chealthy\u201d than many of its so-called \u201chealthy\u201d competitors. Turns out Post\u2019s Peanut Butter &#038; Cocoa Pebbles is a boxful of vegan joy and it\u2019s actually not too bad for you either. Vegans don\u2019t have to be stuck with granola unless they want to be. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Post-Peanut-Butter-Cocoa-Pebbles-Cereal-2.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Post Peanut Butter  Cocoa Pebbles Cereal 2\" title=\"Post Peanut Butter &#038; Cocoa Pebbles Cereal 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Right out of the box, the Pebbles smelled like cocoa butter with a hint of nuts, not clearly peanuts, but nutty. I snacked on a handful while I waited for my unsweetened almond milk to soak into the pebbles. In their dry state, they are crispy and taste like what I imagine a freeze-dried Reese&#8217;s Cup Rice Krispie treat would taste like. After waiting about 30 seconds, I dug in. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Post-Peanut-Butter-Cocoa-Pebbles-Cereal-3.jpg?resize=599%2C455&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Post Peanut Butter  Cocoa Pebbles Cereal 3\" title=\"Post Peanut Butter &#038; Cocoa Pebbles Cereal 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"455\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Each spoonful was a delight. The peanut butter and cocoa flavors were balanced, but notable, in each bite. The peanut butter flavor was authentic, not artificial tasting. The cocoa flavor was light and reminiscent of chocolate milk. I poured myself another bowl. Bowl 2 was equally as satisfying as Bowl 1. Rinse and repeat.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning, I tried the cereal with unsweetened oat milk to test whether the nuttiness of the almond milk made a difference in the overall flavor. There was little difference between the cereal with the almond milk and the cereal with the oat milk. The cereal held up well in both and I suspect it would do equally well in any milk. It also held up well after three minutes of unintentional soak time, only slightly less crispy, but definitely not soggy.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Post-Peanut-Butter-Cocoa-Pebbles-Cereal-4.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Post Peanut Butter  Cocoa Pebbles Cereal 4\" title=\"Post Peanut Butter &#038; Cocoa Pebbles Cereal 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not a fan of drinking milk, so I rarely drink the leftover milk from cereal. With this cereal, I just kept adding more cereal to my milk until there was no more milk left. However, the last sip of milk remaining was slurp-worthy, not too sweet, nor with too much disintegrated cereal debris.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong> Go ahead, eat five bowlsful while watching cartoons on Netflix (Inspector Gadget, anyone?) Or, try topping your (vegan) yogurt or ice cream with the leftover cereal that always manages to end up at the bottom of the box. Any way you eat this, I\u2019m sure you will enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(Editor&#8217;s Note: A Post Cereals representative tells me that this currently is not gluten-free.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 3\/4 cup serving &#8211; 120 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 0.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 210 milligrams of sodium, 24 grams of carbohydrates, 9 grams of sugars, and 2 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.48<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 20 oz. box<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Walmart<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 10 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Vegan.
