Food Favs

Food Fav – Organic Morning Lite
This is a Trader Joes Cereal that has some similarities to Kashi Go Lean. It has the same fiber twigs (but these are thinner), puffed corn and rice and those tiny square pieces that I always assumed were part of the soy grits. All of this cereal is coated in a sweet honey-like glaze making it much sweeter than KGL. The individual cereal pieces are small so it is not easy (or graceful) to eat this cereal straight out of the box by the handful – although that never stops me. I prefer this cereal with soy milk more than yogurt. I like the cereals I eat with yogurt to be heartier, and more granola-y. I do feel like this is a nice treat while still being very healthy. It is pretty low in calories for a 1 cup serving – and I do appreciate that the servings are 1 cup for this cereal. Why do companies insist on making 3/4cup a serving? What is that?
The one drawback of this cereal is that it does not have as much protein as Kashi.
Overall I give it 4 chilies ,,,,
