It gets its chocolatiness from cocoa that\u2019s been processed with alkali and other natural flavors.<\/p>\n<h3>How is it?<\/h3>\n<p>First off, a disclosure. I\u2019m not a regular Life Cereal eater. Oh wait, let me rephrase that. I\u2019m not a Life Cereal Lifer. (That\u2019s better, maybe.) I can count on two hands the number of times I\u2019ve consumed any Life variety, and I had to look up what they were for the list above. With that said, I did enjoy eating Chocolate Life Cereal in milk or dry.<\/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\/2020\/09\/Quaker-Chocolate-Life-Cereal-Dry.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Quaker Chocolate Life Cereal Dry\" title=\"Quaker Chocolate Life Cereal Dry.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Its flavor is mild, and there\u2019s enough of it to recognize it\u2019s chocolate. It\u2019s not overly sweet and doesn\u2019t reach the same cocoa level as Cocoa Puffs, Cocoa Pebbles, or any other choco-heavy cereal with a cartoon mascot. Also, the chocolatiness tastes darker than the others. I find it tasty enough that it&#8217;s got me thinking I should try the other varieties so that it&#8217;ll take three hands to count the number of times I&#8217;ve had Life Cereal.<\/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\/2020\/09\/Quaker-Chocolate-Life-Cereal-Wet.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Quaker Chocolate Life Cereal Wet\" title=\"Quaker Chocolate Life Cereal Wet.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, unlike many of the cereals I mentioned above, it doesn\u2019t make excellent cereal milk. Speaking of milk, this Life variety is okay at maintaining its crunchiness while sitting in the liquid.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Some of you might be wondering what those white crystal thingies are in the second photo above. I want to say cereal dandruff, but I\u2019m absolutely sure that\u2019s wrong and that Quaker doesn\u2019t want me to describe them that way. <\/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\/2020\/09\/Quaker-Chocolate-Life-Cereal-Crystals.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Quaker Chocolate Life Cereal Crystals\" title=\"Quaker Chocolate Life Cereal Crystals.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There was a bunch collected at the bag\u2019s bottom of the, so I tried them. They look like salt but taste as if they\u2019ve absorbed the cereal\u2019s flavor. If you know what it is, let me know in the comments. If you don\u2019t know what it is but have an absurd and incorrect idea of what it could be, share it in the comments.<\/p>\n<p>A one-cup serving has 24 grams of whole grains, is an excellent source of five B vitamins, and is a good calcium source. Wait\u2026is the cereal dandruff the source of the good source of calcium?<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Quaker Chocolate Life Cereal is a tasty addition to the Life Cereal line that also includes (say it with me again), original, cinnamon, vanilla, and strawberry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received a free sample of the product.
