Wow what a long name. I have been hearing about these for a little while now, and i have even passed over them a few times at my local market, but the more i looked into reviews online the more i wanted to buy them, not because people were giving these rave reviews but because they were giving these mini wheats pretty bad reviews. Some said "they tasted like twigs", some said "there was barley any fruit in it", some even say "they tasted no different than the other Mini-wheats products". I just had to put this to the test. Not only because people were knocking mini-wheats but because i only found a handful of reviews because this is still a fairly new cereal product on the shelves. I went yesterday to the store to pick up a box, there were only about 3 boxes left after i took 1, So they must be kind of worth it right? The box looks pretty cool i thought, really purple with little designs in the background and then they show the mini wheats in a bowl of milk with the big glob of fruit in the middle! When i returned home i put these in the cupboard for Today's breakfast. I woke up this morning starving as usual, Couldn't wait to try these out! I measured myself out a serving of these *55g = 190cal* poured in my almond milk and then i had to go on the computer quick, after i was done checking my email the mini-wheats were pretty soggy by then, some where still a little crunchy though. The soggy ones made the Jelly filling really soft and pretty tasty. In the crunchy ones though it seemed like you really couldn't taste the fruit as much for some reason and the jelly was chewy kind of like a fig newtons filling. I dug back into my bowl of mini wheats and it also seemed that some had more fruit filling than others. Most were pretty well off with the filling but some had barley any and some even seemed like there was no filling in them. 90% of them had Good amounts to ok amounts of filling in them while the other 10% had very little or what seemed like none in them. The taste was actually really good if you could get a mini-wheat with a good amount of fruit filling in it, the box says it is "mixed berry flavor" for the jelly, i tasted strawberry more than anything in the fruit filling, But you could taste a little hint of blueberry, so it wasn't a total let down. I took a spoonful of peanut butter and mixed it in a little bit with the cereal and it really tasted like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! That was a plus for me. This is the only flavor available as of now for the "Touch of fruit in the middle" i would personally like to see maybe some cinnamon apple flavor or if they want something else other than fruit in the middle, maybe take the chocolate mini-wheats and fill them with peanut butter filling! Overall the Flavor is pretty good as long as you get a mini-wheat with enough jelly in it, if not then you are better off eating a normal mini-wheat not filled with any jelly-goodness, But i guess you should expect for their to not be a lot of filling as on the box it does say "a TOUCH of fruit" and not "WOW OVERFLOWING WITH JELLY GOODNESS!!!" That would be awesome though right?! All-together i would give this cereal a 7/10 If all the mini-wheats were filled with an equally good amount of Jelly then this would get a 10/10 in my book but unfortunately the amount of jelly you get per mini-wheat fluctuates more than the price of gas. Is it worth the $3 a box? Yea i would say so, it will add something a little different in your Morning Breakfast. Overall 7/10
