Dottleshead ★ Posted March 5 Share #1 Posted March 5 Straight out of Petite's hood, this sunflower cereal has moved into the front. It's pretty guilt free and the cocoa flavor is pretty nice. It's a little cheaper than Magic Spoon as well. https://www.sevensundays.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead ★ Posted March 5 Author Share #3 Posted March 5 The only problem i see with this cereal besides the cost is that it taste good and I want to eat more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted March 5 Share #5 Posted March 5 Too rich for my blood. I liked Malt-O-Meal from Minneapolis though! But it seemed to loose shelf space, so now it is store brand serial for me. It must have artificial sweetener with so little sugar though, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razors Edge ★ Posted March 5 Share #7 Posted March 5 Yeah, it sort of misses the point of "eat as much real food as you can, and try not to eat too much of it, and try to eat mostly plants." But is some ultra processed food better than other ultra processed food? @dinneR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead ★ Posted March 5 Author Share #17 Posted March 5 Because I have a protein drink every morning. I take my meds with it. I find it a good way to start the morning. Funny, I don’t eat cereal for breakfast. It’s usually an afternoon snack or maybe even dinner on nights I’m running behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted March 5 Share #22 Posted March 5 I see an 8 oz. bag is $4.76 at Amazon and three 8 oz bags are $26.99! I just paid $8.99 for a pound of sweet cherries at Wegman's, so I guess I'll splurge and give this a try when I see it in Costco, apparently soon in Maryland.

Good way to cut oot sugar, although I had it with a touch of froot, like strawberries and blueberries. It actually has 12.5% sugar (5 g per 40 g serving) but most cereals today have 25% or more - including some muesli types. Cereals like Cheerios and Kelloggs Corn Flakes have 3% to 5% sugar and I like to add 1/2 a banana, a few strawberries, and a handful of blueberries along with 30 Cal/cup Almond Milk. There's an excellent flakes & clusters cereal sold with store-brand names like Oats & More with Almonds at my local Harris Teeter, Walmart, and Food Lion supermarkets that's 17% sugar that I eat as a change of pace with fruit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted March 5 Author Share #24 Posted March 5 It’s not Cocoa Puffs or Cocoa Pebbles flavor but for processed junk with many of the sugar horrors removed, it’s not bad. I think not bad tasting at all. It blends well with the almond milk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I use a touch of that store brand oat cluster serial with fake Chex or fake corn flakes or fake bran flakes. It is good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted March 11 Author Share #26 Posted March 11 I bought a batch of macadamia nut milk at Costco today. I don't like to eat late but I remembered I had that Seven Sunday cereal to try it out with. It was grubbin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted March 28 Author Share #27 Posted March 28 Turns out this good w/ macadamia nut milk (Milkadamia) and a good tool to use when trying to pursue weight loss. I repeat it is the only heavily process stuff I eat and I only have it like 3 times a week. I can live with that minimal risk (for now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted April 4 Author Share #28 Posted April 4 I just had two scrumptious bowls of this chit. Sure it's highly processed. Sure it's on the pricier side. But it doesn't fatten me up and it tastes pretty good. Who cares if my brain turns to rabbit turds and I grow cancer out my ears. It tastes good, damn it!
