Review of 'Sunshine Healthy Snacks' Raisin Oat Bran Flakes Cereal

Sunshine Healthy Snacks -- Raisin Oat Bran Flakes Cereal
Overall Rating: 3/5
Summary: woah! Lots and lots of raisins. No skimping there. I expected the flakes to be crunchuer. Luckily, I really enjoy this as a warm cereal, so I add a bit of vanilla-flavoured soymilk with warm water; a-mazing. It doesn't hurt that it's got a solid dose of fiber and protein. I personally wouldn't buy this again, but only because I'm searching for a raisin bran cereal from a more progressive brand (e.g. organic ingredients, social/environmental standards, etc.).

Where to buy: Caribbean, Taiwan, Ireland, United States, Central America



Ingredients: Oat bran, wheat bran with other parts of wheat raisins, corn syrup, sugar, malt syrup, salt.

I love the simple and wholesome ingredients, except for the corn syrup (no info on GMO status). The nutritional profile is very good, with a healthy dose of fiber and protein and lots of vitamins and minerals. I think this is a good cereal, though I'll still be looking out for a brand that is more organic-minded and more committed to health, social, and environmental standards.
