I have major issues when it comes to the granola bar/cereal aisle in the grocery store, and I tend to buy something new to try every time I go through the aisle. It has come to the point where I don't even allow myself to walk down the aisle unless I know I need something (sometimes, this doesn't even work!). I don't know what it is, but I just love trying all the new varieties! Anyway, then I get stuck with huge boxes of cereal in my cabinet and if I end up not liking the cereal, I have to force myself to keep eating it so that it does not go to waste. That is the case with the Nature's Path Flax Plus Cereal. I originally had high hopes for this cereal because it is organic, very high in fiber, and low in sugar, which meant it was a healthy alternative to other sugary cereals out there.
It is not bad, it just isn't something that I would buy again. While I commend them for keeping sugar low, it is definitely reflected in the taste. I tried adding 1/2 banana to my cereal bowl (which I always do anyway) to sweeten it up, but it didn't help too much. It is one of those products that actually tastes healthy because it has that wheat-y after taste to it.
Even though I wouldn't buy it again, I would recommend this cereal if you are looking for a healthy breakfast cereal that is not sweet. In the meantime, I will continue to slowly make my way through the box until I finally finish it.
