Food Review: Chex

APB: If you see the Chocolate Chex....let me know. I want a box or two.  I can't find that flavor ANYWHERE!

My cousin found this at Safeway and was excited when I came home and said: "Look, Cuz, this cereal is GF!"  =)

I tried it and liked it.  I believe I should stay away from cereals that have

Honey Nut (love it) but I should be staying away from the ingrediants listed: Sugar, Brown Sugar Syrup.
Chocolate (mmm) and the Cinnamon both have: Sugar, Frutcose =(

All these cereals seem to have BHT added to it to preserve freshness.  (I just learned this a minute ago, while reading the ingrediants).  Umm...it says that is primarily used as an antioxidant food additive, which is also used in costmetics, pharmecuticals, jet fuels, rubber, petroleum products, electrical transformer oil and embalming fluid! Embaling fluid.  wow.  I'm preserving my internal organs a cell at a time aren't I? 

GOODNESS. well, this just killed my appetite for this. I will stick with my faithful Gorilla Munch.

06/09/2015 NOTE: I updated another post with information that chex will be working on removing BHT in their cereal!!!! http://cen.acs.org/articles/93/i8/General-Mills-Remove-Antioxidant-BHT.html

Food Review: Enviro Kidz Organic Gorilla Munch Cereal

OHMG, I just realized why I was so infatuated with SilverBack Gorillas!  Because I LOVE Gorilla Munch Cereal!



There are no artificial preservatives or additives.
It's Gluten Free (however it is made in a facility that uses peanuts, tree nuts & soy).
Low Sodium.

Ingredients: Organic Corn Meal, Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Sea Salt

Nutrition Facts: 3/4 Cup = 120 cal; 5 cal from fat; total fat: 0g; 2g Fiber; 8g Sugar; 2g protein

Now, I know I previously have said, No Evaporated Cane Juice, but I don't eat it much, it's not a sugary cereal and yes i'm bending my own rules. =)

It's really good though.  Like a grown-up version of Kix cereal (if you were ever on welfare, that's the cereal you would love to get!....well for me at least).

They have other products too that I like and have bought .  Check them out at: http://www.naturespath.com/
