Review of 'Glutino' Berry Sensible Beginning

Glutino -- Berry Sensible Beginning (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3/5
Summary: tart dried berries, medium crispy (not super crispy) flakes, lightly sweetened makes for a nice breakfast. However, I don't find that it is very filling, perhaps because it's not particularly high in either fiber or protein. I would likely not buy this again and prefer to opt for a more protein and fiber rich cereal. For gluten-sensitive folks, it is a nice option.


Where to buy: Bulk Barn, Fortinos

The ingredients are fine but the nutritional profile is a bit lackluster, except for the vitamins and minerals added.
