Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters

Four PnP reviewers were asked to try Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters cereal. What did we think of it? Keep reading to find out!

My box of Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters arrived yesterday afternoon. While I considered trying it last night for supper, my husband wanted something more, so I saved it for breakfast.

This morning, I woke up to realize that a 9.5 week pregnant woman with morning sickness may not be the best reviewer for breakfast cereals. So, as midmorning rolled around, I finally felt as if I could stomach trying some of the cereal.

Pouring a nice hearty bowl and drenching it in milk, I sat down on the couch to savor every bite. After savoring two bites, I realized there was really nothing to savor. It’s bland. It’s boring. I could eat it!

Although disappointed in the actual lack of taste and the clusters that were just tiny flecks, the cereal was something that I could eat at a time when I have lately only been able to stomach HoHo’s and nachos. As a functional cereal, I will give it props as it was edible and I’m about to have a long awaited trip to the ladies room. As something I enjoy eating however, I will have to pass this up and return to my HoHo’s.

We’ve all seen those commercials where they keep stacking bowl upon bowl of cereal saying “you’d need to eat this amount to equal the amount of fiber in one bowl of xxxxx.” You should only need 1 bowl of Fiber One Raisin Brand Clusters. With 11 grams of fiber per serving that should keep the colon good and healthy for a while!

I’ll be honest. I’m not one that enjoys crunchy, whole grain goodness. I’ve had the regular Fiber One cereal before and swore I was eating rabbit food. But you add some actual sweetened flakes, raisins, honey flavored clusters and you’ve got a deal.

My husband is the whole grain eater in our household and he was amazed at the overall tastiness this cereal had to offer. We were both expecting something bland, but Fiber One has found a way to add flavor to healthy eating.

Finally a product for which I can enthusiastically give a good review – Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters is great!

First of all, I love the taste of cereal and Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters is quite tasty. Secondly, I love crunch, and aside from Grape Nuts (who can afford those calories?), you don’t get better crunch than Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters. GOLEAN Crunch attempts to satisfy the crunch demand, but it falls short. Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters will not disappoint in the crunch arena.

Another important factor in my cereal choice is fiber, and let me tell you, this cereal has 12 grams of fiber. The downside is that it has 170 calories, and Weight Watchers will dock you 3 points (milk not included) for a bowl of it.

My sister-in-law tells me that Fiber One makes another cereal that does not include the raisin bran clusters and that cereal is only 60 calories and boasts 14 grams of fiber. I couldn’t eat all the grass in my yard and get fiber like that!

Let me just say, when I finish this box of Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters, which might be tonight if I continue eating right out of the box, I am going to check out the low calorie Fiber One cereal. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

When I opened my box of Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters, I was just going to grab a handful and give it a quick taste but as I sat there watching Curious George with my son, I found myself eating several handfuls. And then several more. And then my son wanted some so he ate several toddler-sized handfuls. By the time I decided to close up the box, we’d put a pretty good dent in it. I think it’s safe to say that we liked it.

It’s a bit sweeter than Raisin Bran, which I don’t like to eat by the handful, and the flakes were smoother and crispier, which I prefer. The only down side is that it has almond pieces (according to the label although I never saw them) and walnut meal in it and this means my daughter cannot eat any of it due to a nut allergy.

The upside, however, is that it has 11 grams of fiber in it and if anyone needs more fiber in their diet, it’s me. So based on taste, texture and fiber content, I liked it. Regarding the nuts, well…I wish they’d left them out.
