Gluten Free Rice Krispies have arrived!

They're here!

Yes, it is true.  All those celiac patients out there can now have rice krispie treats!  General Mills has developed a brown rice based Rice Krispie that is gluten-free.  This is one cereal we thought at the beginning that Scott would be able to have in its regular form, but not so, it had malt in it.  In fact most breakfast cereals have malt in them.

I haven’t found these at our stores yet but we will be trying them. Brown rice is better for you for sure, but I’m not convinced it will pass my taste test in the marshmallow squares.  We’ll see.

Here is the website for Gluten Free Rice Krispies - with recipes of course!

Nature’s Path Crunchy Vanilla Sunrise

16th February, 2010 - Posted by Scott - No Comments

I love what my wife can find in the freezer aisle of our local Giant grocery store.  For some reason this is where they decided to put the clearance/damaged goods rack.  It has become routine for her to stop there and see what crops up.  Quite a few of the natural, organic, and/or gluten free items show up here regularly.  That was the case with the Nature’s Path Crunchy Vanilla Surprise cereal.  The box was crushed at the edge but the contents were in great shape and oh what a great product this is.

Corn puffs that remind me of Kix.  Flakes made of amaranth, quinoa, and buckwheat.  Rice puffs round it out.  Holding up well under the influences of milk it remained crunchy from the first to the last bite, all of which was permeated by a light vanilla flavor.  Whether I picked out a single puff or a heaping spoonful it was not overpowering and complimented the grains perfectly.

This is a nice breakfast cereal for a change.  Though I got it at a discount this time around, it is going on my list of cereal choices when I’m looking for a cold breakfast option.
