That sweet coating also prevents the flakes from getting soggy the instant they\u2019re introduced to milk, which happens with regular bran flakes.  <\/p>\n<p>To be honest, there needs to be a Frosted Bran with Raisins because it would make eating Raisin Bran less annoying and more tasty. I\u2019ve let out so many sighs when I end up with raisin-less spoonfuls of bran mush that I probably let out enough air to blow up balloons for a child\u2019s birthday party.<\/p>\n<p>As for nutritional differences between this and Kellogg\u2019s Raisin Bran, a one-cup serving of this new cereal has 150 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 10 grams of sugar. While a serving of the original has 190 calories, 7 grams of fiber, and 17 grams of sugar.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m surprised by how much I like Kellogg\u2019s Frosted Bran, but I don\u2019t know if I should be surprised. After all, I like Raisin Bran when I can secure at least one raisin on my spoon. It has the right amount of sweetness, and its sugary coating helps maintain a decent crunch. I wish it came in a bigger box, but overall, I think this cereal is gr-r-rand&#8230;for your digestive system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $4.49<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 12.7 oz box<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Safeway<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 cup w\/o milk) 150 calories, 0.5 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 200 milligrams of sodium, 36 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, 10 grams of sugar (including 9 grams of added sugar), and 3 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kellogg\u2019s new Frosted Bran is made up of crunchy bran flakes with a perfect amount of sweetness.
