We are cereal junkies around here for a few reasons. 1. It's cheap. 2. It's quick to make. 3. It's relatively healthy (and can satisfy a sweet craving on occasion). Mr. Geek and I mostly go for the bran-y, crunchy, plain stuff like shredded wheat and Cheerios and dress it up with bananas or other fruit. Lately, I've been neglectful of making frequent visits to the store, so there are some mornings that we are scrounging for something to sweeten up our cereal. I'm not a fan of raisins, so if we don't have bananas or berries, I just go without :(.
But General Mills has saved us. They've just released a new Cheerios® flavor--Banana Nut Cheerios®, and it's really good. It tastes like--you guessed it---bananas, but it's not overpowering like some artificially flavored cereals can be. The banana taste is really natural, although I really didn't taste much of the "nut" flavor. But that's ok, because it's the banana that I was going for.
I like that this cereal's first ingredient is whole grain corn, followed by sugar (not high-fructose corn syrup) and then whole grain oats. And 3/4 of a cup contains 100 calories, which is reasonable for those of us watching our waists.
General Mills would like to give 3 Winners a chance to try out Banana Nut Cheerios®. They are offering a Banana Nut Cheerios® Gift basket, complete with a box of cereal, a fruit basket/banana holder, 2 cereal bowls and a bread pan.

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 398 Newer› Newest»Well, it just so happens that bananas are my favorite thing to put on Cheerios, specifically. Thanks for the giveaway!
we put berries- blueberries or bananas if we have them or even strawberries but they are yummy with fresh cold milk
Most of the time we enjoy our Cheerios with just a bit of 2% milk over them. But every once in a while I'll slice up a banana, pour on some milk and ... YUMMY!

We're cereal junkies too, during the week anyway. On the weekend we do try to have a special breakfast. I love Cheerios, especially Honey Nut and I always slice up a banana to put in my Cheerios, regardless of which kind of cereal it is. That's how I try to fit in at least one serving of fruit a day.
Thanks for the giveaway.

i tend to put extra fresh fruit in my cereal such as sliced bananas, raspberries or blackberries, sliced strawberries and blueberries. depends on what kind of mood i'm in that perticular day.
being that my husband and i just got back from a two week vacation to hawaii, i have a feeling i'll be adding pineapple, mango, shredded coconut and/or chopped macadamia nuts to the cereal. it would make me feel like i was back in paradise.
wow, it's making me hungry just thinking about it.
my favorite cereal just happens to be the cheerios brand, the mixed berry one.
i love banana nut bread and feel that if i were to chop a cup or two of this cereal and add it in there, it would add even more flavor.
mahalo (thanks) for the great contest. would love to win this and try it. never heard about this new flavor but i know i'd love it, 100% as i love banana nut bread.
have a great day.
