This past weekend was President's Day long weekend. Even though I enjoyed the time off, it has thrown off my posting schedule. One good thing about being home was being able to eat "good" food. "Good" food to me is atleast being able to pick out a cereal that I like to eat.
The usual cereals at my house are either Frosted Flakes or some kind of Kashi, both of which I enjoy. To my surprise I found a box of Special K with strawberry. Even though I found out before that Special K was pulling the wool over our eyes with their cereal bars, I do still enjoy their brand, and decided to give their actual cereal a try.
Even though they may have covered up their "strawberry pieces" in their bars, they stayed true to strawberries in their cereal. The ingredients list on their cereal is easier to read and allows you to quickly find what exactly is in their cereal. These strawberry pieces are actually freeze dried strawberries!
I now give my consent to continue eating Special K cereal. My only advice would be to allow the strawberry pieces to soak in the milk for a minute or two. Otherwise they are slightly crunchy, and for me atleast I am not ok with my fruits being crunchy. I hope you all enjoy your cereal!

I think it is so weird that they would substitute strawberries in their bars. Thank god they don’t do that in their cereal because I like special K with strawberries. Though I must admit after reading about the fake strawberries I find myself reading the ingredients labels a lot more often then I used to.
I've had the Special K with berries before, and I wasn't too fond of it myself.
Although they are real strawberries, they're processed and freeze dried and such and they just don't taste like real strawberries to me anymore haha
I can't get behind this cereal. Those strawberries never taste quite right and get soggy just too fast. I've never had real strawberries in my cereal, but now that I think of it, that seems to be a yummy idea!
I must say the whole freeze dried fruit thing freaks me out a bit. They get a very sketchy texture with a sort of dissolving styrofoam quality. I personally stick the to regular special k to avoid them.
