Escape to the Tropics with Honey Bunches of Oats! (Sweeps & Giveaway, 3 Winners)

I’m a cereal fanatic, and the funny thing is that I don’t even eat cereal in the morning. Usually I’ll pour myself a bowl of cereal for lunch or dinner or even dessert – yup, that’s me the epitome of health, lol! Recently, I had the chance to try Honey Bunches of Oats new cereal, Tropical Blend!

tropicalblends1

Tropical Blend has actual crispy mango flakes and coconut shavings inside the cereal – how cool is that?! Each serving has 10g of Whole Grain, 120 Calories, 9 Essential Vitamins and Minerals – including 60% Daily Value of Iron, and 4 Wholesome Grains. Now all that sounds really good for you and all that, but for me the appeal is in the flavor of the cereal – and Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blend is what I call a “dessert cereal”. It has a sweet almost floral flavor that reminds me of a mango smoothie I had years ago, and the crunchiness of the flakes really kicks things up a notch.

Looks good huh? You can actually see the mango bits and coconut shavings so your know this isn’t some artificial flavoring baloney.
