But we don&#8217;t have time for a long history lesson because I have to declare to everyone that THIS new Kellogg&#8217;s Special K Blueberry Cereal is my favorite Special K cereal ever, my special Special K cereal, okay.<\/p>\n<p>The concept is simple, and it follows a lot of other current Special K varieties. It combines the brand&#8217;s not-so-special-looking crunchy wheat and rice flakes with freeze-dried fruit. I haven&#8217;t had EVERY Special K variety with fruit, but I&#8217;ve had most, and this one stands out in my mind.<\/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\/2021\/02\/Kelloggs-Special-K-Blueberry-Cereal-2021-Closeup.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Special K Blueberry Cereal  2021 Closeup\" title=\"Kellogg's Special K Blueberry Cereal (2021) Closeup.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With real blueberries, the cereal has a natural fruity flavor. Although, it appears my box didn&#8217;t get a whole lot of them. But here&#8217;s a cool blue thing about this cereal &#8212; yeah, there could&#8217;ve been more freeze-dried berries, but even when there aren&#8217;t any on my spoon, what I put into my mouth has a noticeable berry flavor.<\/p>\n<p>I imagine the Japanese train occupancy at rush hour closeness that the cereal experiences before it&#8217;s opened for consumption causes a lot of rubbing against each other, which allows a little bit of blueberry flavor to end up on every crispy flake. While Japanese trains at rush hour are unpleasant, this part of a complete breakfast isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t try the previous version of Special K Blueberry Cereal, so I can&#8217;t compare. But let&#8217;s not remember that past.
