Review: I decided to branch out from Kashi and try a Trader Joe's breakfast granola option. I was not impressed. On the positive side of things, the ingredients (especially the TRIPLE NUTS) were readily recognizable. I could definitely identify chunks of almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts. But the cereal didn't really taste like anything and the texture was dense and it really was not my favorite. I appreciate that they made the effort to use less sugar, but really, it was just not very good. Not recommended. There are so many things that are so much better.
