My New Absolute Favorite Food Find
Filed under contests,Food by kristen at 12:15 pm on Feb 24 2010
When I was contacted by Kellogg’s about offering a giveaway on my site, they asked if I would like to try the new Special K Low Fat Granola. I had heard some good things about this cereal but had not been able to find it in any stores yet. So I took Kellogg’s up on their offer. The girls & I were excited when the box arrived. Nothing like a new food to try. Sydney & I immediately ate it straight from the box. Tasty even without any milk. Great first impression.
Kellogg’s version of granola has 50% less fat than other leading brands of granola. Granola is something I can remember my Grandma & Mom making when I was younger. I LOVE granola. Even a few years ago I received an awesome recipe for homemade granola but it was not Weight Watcher Point friendly.
So I was so excited the next morning when I ate a bowl of this granola with 1/2 cup skim milk. YUMMY! I could not tell that it was low-fat. It has a nice touch of honey in the flavor.. This cereal is not lacking in anything in my lowly opinion. I love it so much that I am on my THIRD BOX already. I have had this cereal for many breakfasts & a few quick dinners. It would be great with yogurt as a parfait. I was also impressed how long I was full & satisfied after eating this cereal for breakfast.
Nutritional value for 3/4 cup: 190 calories, 3 grams fat & 5 grams fiber.
Kellogg’s you really impressed me with this cereal. I am a Special K girl now for breakfast between the low-fat granola & the Special K protein meal bars! Keep up the great work~
PS I did find this cereal at Meijer. I have not had a chance to look at any other stores. Anyone else tried this yet?
Disclaimer: I was not paid to give this food review. I was not asked to give this review. I was given a box of the cereal from Kellogg’s.

Marsh & Target also carry the Special K granola. I love all their products!

I’ve been wanting some granola, but the calories/fat/sugar have caused me to think twice. I will try this asap! Thanks neighbor!

I was the winner of Kristen’s & Kelloggs giveaway on her sight. They sent me a couple of boxes of this granola and it is awesome. My favorite way to eat it is in my morning yogart!! Thanks again Kristen and Kellogg for the giveaway!!!
