Review of 'Glutino' Frosted Sensible Beginnings Cereal

Glutino -- Frosted Sensible Beginnings Cereal (vegan) 
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: there's a nice cornish taste, is very sweet, and crunchy. The ingredients aren't bad but the nutritional profile just isn't rich enough for me to buy this again. If we're talking taste here, I'd recommend it.

Where to buy: Bulk Barn, Fortinos

The nutritional profile is scant in my opinion. For 210 calories, there's only 1g of fiber and 3g of protein and the sodium is a bit high. It does have a good vitamin/nutrient content, but just isn't enough to compel me to buy this again.
