It’s Nature’s Path Organic Flax Plus Raisin Bran. Oh doesn’t that just sound yummy. Every time I see that box of cereal in my kitchen pantry, I wonder why… what on earth was I thinking when I bought that stuff.
Let me tell ya, I didn’t want to open the package this morning… but then again… I was curious. Curiosity always gets me.
After reading the nutrition label, I was a little surprised that I actually liked this cold cereal. Eleven grams of fiber and 650mg omega 3’s in one little 3/4 cup of cereal. I thought this is way too good to be true… it’s far too healthy to taste good. I figured it would taste like a bowl of shredded wood chips and powdered vitamins. But it’s pretty good. The bran flakes are thicker than the post bran flakes. There aren’t a whole lot of raisins, but just enough to add a little sweetness. It didn’t get all mushy in the milk. It’s a keeper in my breakfast menu.
I think it was actually the flax in the cereal that got me. So there ya go, add flax to anything and I’ll buy it.

Lidian, since this one tastes so good, I’m definately going to try out some of the other cereals from Nature’s Path.
Heather, lol I know! It’s funny, I look at the label on that box of cereal and I think… when did I become the health nut I am today. It does sound pretty yummy. lol
Hanlie, me too. I have read so much good about flax and all the healthy benefits. If it helps with the hot flashes I’m in.
