I like all Special K cereal, the berry gives it that little extra flavor
I like the product...it could have a little less sugar like the plain special K

Super Awesome Stuff
»
Like most of you I have been dieting off & on for years.
I finally found something that doesn't leave me hungry!
I lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks by using this cereal w/ Special K Protein Mix & Mega Tea Green Tea pills. I found this combo better than the "Hollywood Diet" which left me starving.
What I do: Cereal in the morning, tea pill with regular water, walk 1 mile (1/2 mile each way regular pace- not brisk) drink regular water, go to my boring desk job sipping Protein Mix water, sensible lunch with water or juice, tea pill with water, sipping Protein Mix water, eat whatever I want for dinner- even take out & dessert once a week. I don't count calories or eat bland foods :) 1 bowl of cereal, 2 Protein Mix packets, 2 Green Tea pills every day. Good luck all.

The Pros and Cons
»
Kellogg's Special K Cereal, Red Berries, 16.7-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4), is a delicious cereal. Since Kellogg is number one -- the number one producer of convenience food in the world --we know Kellogg will give us what we want while ignoring the things that do not matter to us.
What do we want?
(1) Flavor. Those real freeze dried strawberries are so delicious that we are tempted to eat them dry out of the box and leave the cereal. The cereal tastes good too. It is sweet, and there is malt flavoring that we love.
(2) Nutrition. With 110 calories per cup, we can measure out a cup and use it for diet food. It has vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium, B vitamins, and minerals.
(3) Grain. There are crispy rice and wheat flakes.
What does not matter to us? (Or does it?)
(1) Sugar. The cereal is loaded with it, but if we did not have it in the cereal, many of us would spoon in a generous application. The second ingredient is sugar. Is that cane or corn? Also listed in the ingredients is high fructose corn syrup.
(2) Nutrition. It is hard to stop with one cup full because we are used to feeling full. A cup of light cereal takes us through the motion of eating slowly . . . that's a plus . . . but does not satisfy the way whole grain cereal does. About the added nutrition: some of us don't need all of what it gives us, or maybe we really do prefer to take them in pill form so we know we exactly what we are getting. Many of us take in more iron than is considered healthy for our specific needs. What your physician will tell you about this issue may be surprising.
(3) Grain. If we are allergic to wheat, we need to pay attention to the label. Also there is corn in the form of fructose. What we are getting is highly refined grain products when whole grain would be better for our health by providing fiber.
With the price out of the range of what we usually spend on breakfast foods, I don't find it a good value.

Great way to help parents on fixed income
»
My mother lives in Colorado and is on a very fixed low income. If I send her money she won't use it so I have found I can help her by buying her groceries off Amazon and having them sent directly to her house and this enables me to be able to help her. THANK YOU Amazon for having products like this on your site. I hope you continue to work with companies and make this affordable to have groceries shipped this way and also to save us the hassels of going to the grocery store when we can have it delivered to our house for about the same cost as going to the grocery store.
