| amyk49's Full Review: Kashi Organic Promise Autumn Wheat Cereal |
I'm so glad I discovered Kashi cereals, with their healthy, organic ingredients. I finally got around to trying Kashi Organic Promise Autumn Wheat Cereal, and I'll definitely be buying another box.
~ Product Description
Kashi Organic Promise cereals offer certified organic ingredients, grown without synthetic chemicals or genetic modification. Kashi Autumn Wheat Cereal is basically bite-size shredded wheat pillows - think Frosted Mini Wheats without the frosting. Kashi describes this cereal as "abundantly delicious organic whole wheat biscuits with a kiss of natural sweetness."
Take a look at these simple, healthy ingredients:
Organic Whole Grain Wheat, Florida Crystals Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Natural Flavor. That's it!
Here is the nutritional information for a one-cup serving:

Note that is is high in carbohydrates, so if you're doing Atkins or watching your carb intake, this cereal may take you off your diet.
Notice also there is zero sodium in this, and that it is relatively high in fiber - two good things!
~ My Experience
I poured out a bowl of Kashi Organic Promise Autumn Wheat Cereal, and saw that the little shredded wheat biscuits are perfectly bite-size, and looked pretty much like any shredded wheat biscuit. I added milk and dug in. Yummy! The shredded wheat biscuits were crunchy and very tasty, with just a light, sort of brown sugar sweetness. Not overly sweet, but just right. I had no problem at all finishing the bowl, and in fact had about another half bowl. Delicious!
The biscuits do get a little softer as they sit in milk, but didn't turn to mush. I enjoyed the bowl all the way to the end, even with the softening texture, which is similar to any other shredded wheat cereal I've had. It really feels like I'm getting some fiber when I eat this! And for a breakfast cereal, it is hearty and quite filling.
I've found that Kashi Organic Promise Autumn Wheat Cereal is also wonderful with some fresh fruit, such as raspberries or strawberries, sliced peaches, or what have you. But it certainly doesn't need the fruit to make it delicious. You can even eat it right out of the box, but I definitely prefer it with milk.
~ Final Thoughts
Kashi Organic Promise Autumn Wheat Cereal is nutritious, delicious, and made from simple, organic ingredients. If you like shredded wheat cereals, you should love this. I prefer cereals that are not overly sweet, and this is perfect for my taste. It offers zero sodium and high fiber along with the healthy ingredients.
I can find this in my local grocery store's health food section for about $4.50 Give it a try and see what you think!
