Review of 'Nature's Path' Flax Plus Multibran Flakes

Nature's Path -- Flax Plus Multibran Flakes (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: Gotta admit, I didn't think this would be so delicious when I read the label. This cereal is super fresh, light and crunchy and filling. It's perfectly lightly sweetened. I actually didn't add in anything (e.g. raisins, fruit, nuts), but I imagine it would be scrumptious and also add some nutrition. I'd definitely buy this again -- you really can't go wrong buying Nature's Path :)

Where to buy: Fortinos, Longos, Bulk Barn




Ingredients: whole wheat flour*, wheat bran*, evaporated cane juice*, flax*, oat bran*, barley malt extract*, sea salt, tocopherols (natural vitamin E).

No worries! Don't even bother looking at the ingredients -- it's all organic. The serving size states 3/4 cup, but the calories are so low, that 1 cup is a better bet. With 1 cup, you'd get a little over 5g of protein and a little over 6.5g of fibre, which is so great for a low-cal cereal. It's super low in fat...I mean *super*.

This is easily one of my favourite cereals (okay okay, I might have quite a few favourites...). It's so strange because it has such little sugar, yet I love the taste. It's sweet and just so fresh and crunchy mmm...
