 Very Good April 2, 2008

This is a really good cereal, though admittedly if you're used to Rice Krispies, it will not be the same. My kids, all picky, like this cereal. The recipe for peanut butter crispy treats on the box is awesome! No one misses Rice Krispies in our house!

This is a sweet cereal, almost too sweet. Could use some protein like almonds and flax seed.
 Good alternative January 24, 2008

I eat this cereal with unsweetened soy milk, strawberries, and bananas. In my opinion, it needs the fruit for sweetness. I also sprinkle flaxseed on it for a nutty flavor.
You can also make a hot cereal version with it. With soy milk, apples, cinnamons in a saucepan... yum :)
I have a digestive disease and this cereal does not bother me at all- it's a Godsend.
Great Price & Taste, especially for GF & Rotation diets January 7, 2008

This is a great gluten-free version of "Rice Krispies". It's very low in sugar, so it's also good for diabetics & hypoglycemics. Since the ingredient list is short, it's good for food rotation diets for those with severe food allergies. It also does the snap, crackle, pop just like the original. If it needs flavor but not added sugar/calories, then add flavored liquid Stevia (comes in chocolate, strawberry, orange creme, etc.) to some plain rice or soy milk before mixing the milk with the cereal. My kids love this cereal. Originally, they added all kinds of flavored Stevia to it, but now they just eat it plain. You CAN get your children to eat less sugar - just reduce it slowly. Resist the premade foods with lots of added sugar or artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. Search for no sugar or sweetener-added products like plain yogurt & applesauce, and add sugar to your liking, then reduce over time (months). Make your own & reduce the sugar and add fruit or seasonings when you can; at least that will add nutrition. Over time, continue to reduce the amount of sugar you add and substitute with some Stevia. Voila! My kids eat much less sugar. In fact, my daughter once complained that my granola was TOO sweet!. (I had added more sugar than normal because it was for her scout troop. I was afraid no one would eat it since it wasn't very sweet to begin with.) Interestingly, the scouts & their adult leaders found it delicious & not overly sweet, which shows that probably everyone is overloaded with sugar. Ok, now back to our review...Amazon has the best price I've seen anywhere. My local stores are charging four dollars a box! If this GF version of rice 'krispies' isn't to your liking, try the Barbara's version. It is a little sweeter and still GF, but not so good for rotation diets because it uses 2-3 fruit juices for sweetening. If these cereals taste like cardboard, that's your sugar addiction/Standard American Diet stomach talking. Don't give in unless you want to die young. You can change your diet; it just takes some work & some time...
Reasonable flavor, not much nutrition January 7, 2008
M. Wietelmann (Ohio)
I have been purchasing these for my wife. She was recently diagnosed with Celiac and already had child onset diabetes. She was eating Kellogs cornflakes for about 20 years, once or twice a day, but quit because Kellogs could not confirm gluten free corn flakes (because they use the same equipment in processing whole grain products).
After a few months of these her hair started falling out, probably because of a lack of folic acid and possibly some other essential vitamins or minerals. Upon further review, we realized that, for a cereal, this product is severely lacking in nutrition. It cannot compare to most main stream cereals out there, but probably does as well as other gluten free cereals. We chose to take our chances with Kelloggs Corn flakes, but she is still eating these occasionally.
What else are we going to do with 16 boxes! ;-) Since switching back to Corn flakes , her hair has stopped falling out and some new hair growth is being observed.
