Making Triple Bran Taste Good: Attempt #2

This morning I intended on having Triple Bran just with milk as a baseline measurement of taste. After about two mouthfuls, I decided I'd gotten a pretty good handle on the level of gross and could try to make it taste better. Interestingly though, I think it tasted better with milk than with yogurt.

This time around I decided to add honey. Just a tablespoon, though maybe I should have added more. It was a definite improvement, but I'm not 100% sold. I think tomorrow I will try that suggestion of cinnamon and brown sugar. Besides, I recall hearing somewhere that cinnamon was really good for you...the sugar less so, but you really need them both.

Making Triple Bran Taste Good: Attempt #1

I was at the grocery store yesterday and spent some time comparing nutritional information of cereals and discovered that 1/2 cup of "Triple Bran" (store brand cereal) contained 60% of your daily intake of iron. NOTHING has 60% of your daily intake of iron in such a small quantity. Well, maybe meat, but I know very little about meat's nutritional values. Then I looked at the price. It was less than $3! So I decided to try it.

Well, if you've ever had Bran Buds....these are grosser. So, I need to figure out how to make this tastey. My first attempt was this morning. I mixed it with some strawberry yogurt. Good, right? Wrong. So very wrong. I think something about the fruity flavour brings out the nasty in the cereal.

Attempt #1 failed. Anyone else have any suggestions? I may try regular milk tomorrow, just to get a base measure of taste. The more suggestions, the better!
