What is Multi Grain Cheerios with Real Strawberries Cereal?<\/h3>\n

As we gear up for New Year Resolution season, General Mills is coming in hot with a new version of the popular Multi Grain Cheerios. This variety of the 5 grain, lightly sweetened cereal includes bits of real (freeze-dried) strawberries. <\/p>\n

\"Multi<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

As a larger person who grew up in the 90s, I am no stranger to the boom that happened in the category of \u201cdiet cereal.\u201d I vaguely remember when General Mills introduced Multi Grain Cheerios, but we weren\u2019t a cereal family, so I don\u2019t recall ever having it. That being said, I was interested in trying this variety. I\u2019m a fan of Special K with Red Berries (strawberries) and was curious how this would stand up to that.<\/p>\n

\"Multi<\/p>\n

Upon the first sniff, it smelled like…well, really nothing. However, the overall taste was quite good. The oat and grain flavor of the cereal itself is perfectly serviceable (albeit a little bland), but the added fruity sweetness of the strawberry pieces made the flavor far less boring. <\/p>\n

\"Multi<\/p>\n

Speaking of the strawberry pieces, they were small enough to blend well with the familiar O-shaped cereal that allowed for an even distribution of flavor in each spoonful. Oftentimes with cereals that have extra elements, the ratio tends to be off. But in this case, they were perfectly balanced; just enough strawberry in every bite.<\/p>\n

\"Multi<\/p>\n

My only real complaint would be that, by the time the strawberries rehydrated, the cereal itself was far soggier than I personally care for. Letting the strawberries rehydrate in the milk certainly makes their flavor much more pronounced, so it was almost worth the trade-off.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

According to the General Mills website, these are a permanent addition to the Multi Grain Cheerios line. The nutritional stats of this and the original Multi Grain Cheerios are almost exactly the same.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

\"Multi<\/p>\n

If you are looking for a new cereal to add to your morning rotation or possibly to get a kick start on those resolutions, this feels like a good option. It\u2019s nice to see a little variety with this line. If this sells well, it could potentially lead to more Multi Grain Cheerios flavors. Fingers crossed for the return of the Berry Burst Triple Berry Cheerios under the Multi Grain brand.<\/p>\n
