Soul-crushing, gum-crushing, teeth breaker.
So I am back on the low carb lifestyle, and I did back flips (in my mind) when I found out there was a low carb cereal! Yesss! (Granola, cereal, whatever, it was "get in my belly time.")
Mind you, this is an $11.00 bag of cereal, but you just can't put a price on being able to fit into your pants again, can you?! So I went out and bought my $4 jug of UVA milk, (not good alone...no...just no...) and the SECOND the cereal arrived, ripped into it like the hulk.
Soooo....you can imagine my surprise to find that this "granola" was not granola-like at all. It was in huge chunks. Like, huge. Welp, I decided this was not the end of the world. I was going to just break it up into smaller chunks, and throw it into my cereal bowl faster than you can say "Bob's your uncle."
Upon breaking it up, I noticed it wasn't easily broken up...my food processor is broken, and do I really have time to grind this $11 bag of cereal up? No, shouldn't have to, don't wanna.
Anyhoo, I got my cereal bowl ready with my milk in there, and couldn't wait to enjoy it.
Upon first bite, I actually thought I might break a tooth. Nope, just shredded my gums a bit. So, it's not inedible, but also not what I'd call "yum." Well I waited a couple minutes to see if the milk would make it a bit softer, and that would be a big fat NO. This stuff could possibly have cement in it. Whatever it is, it's definitely not worth the money, and the company hasn't written me back about me possibly sending it back either. I don't think I've ever written a review on Amazon, but I felt compelled to on this one. Save your money, and don't break your teeth, shred your gums, or sell your soul for this low carb cereal. If I can save a set of gums, my work here is done.
One can only dream that one day my LC cereal will make its appearance...until then, back to eggs I go.
