Post LiveActive Mixed Berry Crunch
August 6, 2008
Category: Breakfast crunch
Crunch factor: Very good crunch

Special K Cinnamon Pecan Bar
July 31, 2008
Category: Sweet treat
Crunch factor: Slightly undercrunched
Taste: This is a little 90-calorie bar with the consistency of a Rice Krispies square; a powerful, almost biting cinnamon flavor; and a strong blast of sugary sweetness. It totally divided the tasters: Some found it overwhelmingly sweet, cloying, syrupy. Others wrote “Mmm,” “Fantastic,” and “Yum!” despite the sugar retaining the subtle crisped-rice flavor of Special K. Read More
Barbara’s Bakery Ultima Organic Pomegranate Cereal
July 17, 2008
Category: Breakfast crunch
Barbara’s Bakery Ultima Organic Pomegranate Cereal continues the pom fad: The beady red fruit delivers antioxidants and, in this cereal, a slightly hard-to-pin-down fruity tang. Tasters mostly commented on the chewy-crunchy fiber, saying it would be filling. A recommended serving is only ½ cup (many cereals recommend a cup per serving, which seems more realistic), but even that delivers 5 grams of fiber, or 20% of the recommended daily allowance. Eat a full cup of Ultima and you’ll consume 200 calories, roughly on par with Kellogg’s Raisin Bran—but the Bran delivers only 7 grams of fiber per cup. Read More
