Honey Bunches of Oats TROPICAL BLENDS cereal (Review & Giveaway)

Today we're going to talk breakfast food!  We're going to meet a brand new Post cereal - Honey Bunches of Oats!  "Whoa! You said new!" you say?  Yes! Let's finish that name - Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends!  When you stroll down the grocery aisle you're going to see a whole lot of "fruity" cereals these days.  It's a far cry from the days when raisins were the only fruit you saw in a box of dry cereal - and we know it was always accompanied by "bran."

Back to Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends!  I was so delighted to learn that I had been chosen to review and tell you folks about this new Tropical Blends cereal. Of course, part of that delight is something NEW! We all love new, don't we?  Part of that delight was in getting something FREE!  We all love free, too, don't we?  Well, the best part of getting to do this is getting something that is SO VERY GOOD! 

When I nibbled on a handful right out of the box, I was so surprised by the slightly sweet and very nice fruity taste.  Definitely different! Not overtly coconut tasting nor was it a strong artificial fruit flavor.  Just a nice mellow fruit taste along with the flakes and granola chunks.  I did say GOOD, didn't I?  Now some stats on this HBO-Tropical Blends:
  • 10g Whole Grain
  • 120 calories
  • 6g sugar (less than most others)
  • 9 Essential Vitamins & Minerals including 60% Daily Value of Iron
  • 4 Wholesome Grains
  • Heart Healthy: 06 Trans Fat, 0.5g Saturated Fat, 0mg Cholesterol
