Ginger is listed first in the name for a reason! |
Over the weekend, I picked up a box of Trader Joe's Just the Clusters Ginger Almond & Cashew granola cereal. It sounded good. Even the idea of cashews in cereal.
A serving is 2/3 cup, which when put in a smaller bowl seems more than generous and surprisingly filling. Calories - 210, total fat 7g (0.5g saturated), sodium 60mg, fiber 2g, sugar 15, protein 4g, total carbohydrate 36g (yeah...)
It is very gingery! And sweet-hot. If you like ginger, you would love this. (The ingredients have two forms of ginger, the crystallized ginger and ginger root) However, it is almost too-too for eating by itself. Next time I will add maybe a quarter cup to top my oatmeal. Or as a topping if baking sweet quick bread or muffins. I think it is more of a "decoration" cereal instead of a cereal-cereal.
