Yogi Cherry Almond Crunch


I thought Yogi just made tea, so I was surprised to find this Yogi Cherry Almond Crunch cereal at Whole Foods. I was also surprised not to find any cherries in it either, other than cherry powder. Dried cherries would be a delicious and natural addition to a cereal with CHERRY in all caps on the box. But other than that, the cereal is very good and very filling. And there is a nice cherry flavor. A bowlful in the morning can easily power my treadmill workout.

Interesting combination of ingredients -- Oats, Barley, Spelt, Amaranth, Quinoa, Evaporated Cane Juice, Brown Rice, Flour, Whole Wheat Flour and Almonds -- provides 5g protein, 3g fiber, 2% calcium, 6% iron. It also has 6g fat, 0.5g saturated fat, 70mg sodium, 42g carbohydrate. 12g sugar. A serving is 2/3 cup for 240 calories.
