Who likes cereal! I DO! Especially when they are made of whole grain and composed of short ingredient list. I love it so much when companies come up with delicious and nutritional cereal. Cereal is so versatile because it can be eaten as a meal or snack. You could eat it alone, with milk (almond, rice, any kind!), with yogurt, warmed in the microwave (this works for most!!! it’s perfect for cold weather!), or crushed for baking projects.

In the past two weeks, I got to try awesome cereals from US Mills. They have wonderful hot + cold cereals that are made only of natural and wholesome ingredients.

The first three are HOT kind: Barley Plus, oatmeal with added oat bran(!), Brown Rice cream, and Farina.

I really loved oatmeal packets because it was perfect on the go. All I needed was hot water! I poured the packet into nice thermo cup (used for soups usually!), then poured in hot water. In about a minute, I was able to enjoy warm cup of oats in my freezing lecture class.

Barley Plus and Brown Rice were very yummy too! I think they will be great with savory ingredients.

Farina was something NEW for me. I’ve never heard of this kind before and was very excited to try. I have to say that the texture wasn’t really favorite in the beginning. But I got used to it when I added dried fruits/berries. It reminded me of those asian porridge that my mom used to make for us when we were young.

I also got to try various kind of cold cereal. They included Uncle Sam’s and also Erewhon. (The pictures I took of Erewhon products got deleted somehow. sorry!) I really really loved Uncle Sam with my coconut milk yogurts. They were almost like granola! They were very hearty with the addition of flaxseeds. I love flax seeds!
Erewhon’s puffed cereals were really good by itself. They were not too sweet (which I cannot handle too much of), which was perfect paired with fruits.

Now, with a great help of Katherine, I am hosting this USMILLS giveaway!
