\"Kellogg<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s your basic bowl of shredded wheat cereal with a vanilla latte-flavored icing. <\/p>\n

In essence, this is Kelloggs\u2019s way of saying, \u201cYou\u2019re welcome\u201d to everyone out there that wants to double up on their morning cup o\u2019 joe by eating and drinking it at the same time.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

Put simply, you\u2019re going to want a cup of coffee on the side, because this iteration of Frosted Mini Wheats leaves all of its flavor in the box. Even though this cereal smells like the inside of a Starbucks, I couldn\u2019t pick up on even the slightest hint of coffee or vanilla when I ate a bowl of it.<\/p>\n

\"Kellogg<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, even though this flavor supposedly has as much sugar as Original Frosted Mini Wheats, it seemed way less sweet in my opinion. It basically tasted like a bowl of regular Shredded Wheat with a sparse sprinkling of sugar on top, which is really just a bowl of mushy sadness once it gets mixed with milk.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

\"Kellogg<\/p>\n

Since the Vanilla Latte version of Mini Wheats don\u2019t actually have coffee listed in their ingredients, I decided to try and make them taste more like sweet caffeine by replacing the milk in my cereal bowl with a Vanilla Starbucks Frappuccino drink. Even then, the Mini Wheats just seemed to cancel out all of the coffee flavor from the Frappuccino, and, in the end, I just had a bowl tasteless wheat gruel suspended in milky coffee.<\/p>\n

\"Kellogg<\/p>\n

You know, I think that it\u2019s the rough blandness of the shredded wheat in the cereal squares themselves that\u2019s not allowing the icing to convey any kind of defined taste. Especially given how good the icing component smells, I feel that this flavor would do so much better in a medium where the texture isn\u2019t distracting me so much, like in a puffed or flaked cereal.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Despite the delicious-sounding premise, I\u2019d pass on these in favor of Maple Brown Sugar Frosted Mini Wheats with a real vanilla latte on the side.<\/p>\n
