While I\u2019ll eat banana in just about anything, I always found adding banana slices in milk a little too slimy for my liking. This cereal takes care of that. <\/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\/Kelloggs-Raisin-Bran-with-Bananas-3.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Raisin Bran with Bananas 3\" title=\"Kellogg's Raisin Bran with Bananas 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The banana chips are great. Actual banana is too wet and mushy. The standard banana chips you buy in bags are too hard and caramelized. These are a perfect width, flavor, and texture. They really knocked it out the park. The banana pieces have a nice little crisp and a perfect banana flavor without it tasting too sugary and artificial.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes raisins can be overwhelming but mixed with the early crunch of the bran flakes (they sog up super quick) and the crisp of the banana chips, this cereal really blends textures nicely.<\/p>\n<p>Also \u2013 and don\u2019t hold me to this \u2013 I think the flakes had a tad of banana flavor added to them. It tasted that way to me at least.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t expect a banana in every bite. If Raisin Bran gives you two scoops of raisins per box, you\u2019re probably looking at about a half scoop of bananas. Sure, I\u2019d prefer a few more, but I didn\u2019t think the ratio was too bad. The banana flavor is constant.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s something about Raisin Bran that just feels like a fulfilling start to the day. Adding bananas to the mix was a brilliant move, and this cereal is a big flavor and textural win in my book.<\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.00<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 14.5 oz. box<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Acme<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Nutrition Facts:<\/b> (1 cup) 200 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 105 milligrams of sodium, 45 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, 17 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is it?
