It's Friday and I have a munch-rific review: MojaMix premium custom-mixed cereal.
Have you heard of MojaMix? It's a cereal that you create by choosing all of the ingredients using their web site and the finished product is shipped directly to you. Lauren at MojaMix asked me to check it out and let you know what I thought and I happily agreed to do so.
The MojaMix web site (here) is easy to use; you pick a base, add dried fruits, add nuts and seeds and then you're done. For my mix, I started with the Grains A Plenty (wheat, oat, rye and barley flakes with puffed rice) then added dried apricots, cranberries and apples, and finished with pecans, pistachios and chia seeds. Yeah, I know. I went a little crazy.
It was worth the craziness. The dried fruit and nuts are all high-quality and quite tasty. I'm a pecan fanatic and my mix was filled with large, fresh pecan halves. And the cranberries were huge! Lots of yum.
The only down-side to the cereal is the cost. My mix would have cost about $8 for 12 ounces (plus shipping). Now, as I said, I could taste the high quality of the ingredients and I know that you have to pay a premium for that. In my opinion, quality food is worth the price -- I'd rather have a little of something that is good and good for me than a ton of junk. But that's me.

Remember way back when I hosted the Strands giveaway and mentioned their contest to send one runner to the Hood to Coast Relay? Just indulge me and shake your head, "yes." Thank you.
Well here's the thing. Beth from Shut Up and Run won the contest! She's going on an all-expenses paid trip to Oregon to run the relay! Why does this make me so happy? I'll tell you why: She read about the contest here, on The Happy Runner. Woo hoo! I feel so proud . . .
Congratulations, Beth! Can't wait to hear about the race.
On that happy note, I wish you all a happy Friday and great weekend!

Have a great Friday. That cereal looks mighty tasty!
Yummers. I am a fan on facebook, and I love the mango!!
Sounds yummy! Do they have anything that's like Corn Puffs? LOVE that stuff.
dried mango...that would definitely be in my mix!!
I would definitely add coconut to my mix!
That sounds like a brilliant idea; to make your own mix. I would def add the banana chips. mmmmm
I'm so intrigued by these build-your-own cereals. Yum, yum.
So, this is a guilt free way to have chocolate for breakfast, right? Because I'd be all over the chocolate chips.
Have a great weekend!
P.S. I tweeted.
I found your blog thru MizFits and enjoyed it!
I'm a newbie (old lady!) runner and I love reading how everyone else is doing it.
That sounds so yummy!
Yummy, what a great idea. It's a toss up between the chocolate chomp base and dried mangoes for my fav!
Yum!
I would try the Three Brothers with blueberries, peaches, cranberries, flax seeds, and almonds.
My favorite mix-in would probably be the coconut flakes. Yum!
p.s. I tweeted.
And by coconut flakes, I meant coconut chips. Sorry about the second comment, I was unable to edit my other one.
sounds like a yummy way to start the day! i would be all over dried cranberries. can't get enough of them! glad to hear you like them so much.
very cool about the strands winner! you need to ask them what you get ;)
I"m a fan and posted on my blog. Have to maximize my chances given that I won't buy something that expensive without trying it first :)
You want me to pick? Geez, there are way too many fruits and nuts to decide!
I remember that contest, very cool that she won!!
it's a toss up between almonds and dried pineapple.
