For (ce)real.

A while back, Adam from [me] & goji asked me if I would like to create a custom organic cereal to try out and, one would hope, enjoy. I scooted over to their web site to check this stuff out and decided that, yes, I did want to create my own custom cereal. So, he sent me a code and wished me enjoyment.

And enjoyment it was!

First, the web site is fun and easy to use. Second, and probably more important, the options are all very enticing. I was a little overwhelmed at first but I forced myself to focus and I made it through. The custom Happy Runner! (no lie -- that's what I named it. I'm so creative.) cereal consists of:

Flax Flakes
Granola
Chocolate Goji Berries
Dried Cherries
Dried Cranberries
Pecans

Once I had selected my ingredients, I placed my order and received a prompt confirmation. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly my cereal arrived. Overall, the entire order process was a breeze.

I wish I hadn't gone the greedy, indulgent route with the chocolate covered goji berries, though. They are tasty, sure, but they are also covered in chocolate. And since this is cereal, I should have opted for the less dessert-like option of plain gojis. So that's on me. I mean, they are super tasty, but I have to pick them out when my son has the cereal (and he loves it, so he keeps asking for it). If I didn't, he'd be covered in a chocolate mess and that's just no way to start the day!

Anyway, I really like the taste of the cereal as a whole and the individual ingredients on their own. It's a bit pricey for cereal but I look at it like this: The ingredients are all high-quality and organic and each order is custom, all of which comes at a premium. Since I've been eating my cereal as a snack, I look at the price as being comparable to what I would spend on energy bars. And when thought about that way, the price isn't high at all.

Head on over to the [me] & goji web site to check out the cereal. It's yummy! For real!
