The Low Carb Reviewer

Welcome, I'm a food reviewer. I review processed food, restuarant food, recipes. Just about anything food related. As you can guess that type of job isn't good on the old waistline. So I started low carbing. This lead me to a new world of things to try. I will not be reviewing shakes and bars unless the bars are specifically candy. Why? Because there is a rediculous array of choices in that department and it would take too much of my type, plus I don't use shakes or bars so it would be too much of an inconvience to try those things. However, anything else low carb is far game! On other note, there is no need to get heated if I don't like a product, recipe, or restuarant meal and you just happened to love it. This is just my humbled opinion. If you are low carbing I wish you much success. I am not getting my palms greased by any company. Any ads you see at the top or bottom of this page is angelfire's doing as they are my host. Ok, that's it please enjoy.

Morning Start Blueberry Bounty with Almonds

What is it?
This is a breakfast cereal by Atkins. This cereal comes in a 10oz box. The box indicates that the cereal is rich in fiber, no trans fats, and rich in folic acid. It contains 13 grams of protein.

What's in it?
The ingredients list soy protein concentrate, soy grits, wheat gluten corn bran corn starch, maltodextrin, rice flour, inulin, dried blueberries, sliced almonds, canola oil, natural and artificial flavor, sucralose (splenda), caramel color, salt and vitamin e, and folic acid.

How'd It Taste?
First off lets talk about the serving size, which is 2/3 of a cup or about 30 grams. That just doesn't seem like enough to me cereal to me. Maybe it's my American supersize everything mentality or maybe this is a very small portion! Blueberry bounty is sweetened just right, but I swear I didn't get one single dehydrated blueberry in my first bowl. It doesn't taste like soy, however, the taste lingers in your mouth the way a breath mint should. I ate my tiny bowl of cereal about 10 minutes ago and I still taste it. You'd better eat fast because it gets soggy quickly. I believe the fine folks working for Atkins food can do better than this product, but not a bad first atempt

Notes
I used Hood's Carb Countdown on this cereal, not a half and half or water blend.
