Honey Kix Review and Giveaway

By Laurie | March 2, 2009

One of my goals is to start eating healthier. Part of that definitely includes not skipping breakfast. I’ve never been a big cereal fan. I think that is because I had to eat it everyday before school as a kid, and I simply got burnt out. That goes for the “fun” sugary cereals too. That’s why I always liked Kix. It doesn’t taste like bran, but it also doesn’t make me feel like I am going to crash and burn into a sugary coma by 10:00 AM. When offered the opportunity, I jumped at the chance to try the new Honey Kix.

I was excited to open the box and give it a try, as was D. He likes to snack on cereal in the evening sometimes instead of eating a traditional dinner when he has a big late lunch with co-workers. The good news: they looked just like regular Kix. There was no strange coloring, but you can taste a slight honey flavor. It’s really kind of subtle, but definitely tasty. I am strange and enjoy mine dry with a glass of milk. I am not a fan of soggy cereal, but Kix in general actually does not easily get soggy if you do have it the tradition manner (in a bowl with milk). As with regular Kix, Honey Kix is also a good source of fiber, calcium and vitamin D, contains 16 grams of whole grain per serving and has no artificial flavors or preservatives. I would definitely be up for purchasing another box in the near future.

Now for the fun stuff
Would YOU like to give them a try? I will send (3) winners a Honey Kix “Sweet and Simple” prize pack complements of General Mills (see photo above) that includes a coupon for a free box of the cereal, a honey jar, a set of two cereal bowls, a container to take your cereal and milk on-the-go, and a great container to keep cereal fresh at home.

  1. My favorite breakfast meal is not really a meal, it’s bacon. No eggs or anything. Now Gracie is Cheerio’s. I bet she would really like this new cereal. Thanks for the chance.

  2. It’s funny you talk about how not to make cereal soggy. Know what I do? I keep my cereal in the freezer. People scoff and laugh at me, but they stop once they have a bowl of Cocoa Krispies that stays Krispy until the final bite.

  14. I’m usually in such a rush in the morning that I always keep things simple (and routine) and have either a bowl of cereal (and recently have tried Honey Kix and really like them!), a cup of coffee, and some yogurt with fresh fruit added. Thanks for the giveaway!

  19. I LOVE cream of wheat but it takes soooooo long to make so cereal or frozen waffles is usually my choice.

  21. My favorite breakfast is Belgian Waffles with whipped cream and strawberries. Since that isn’t practical, I usually have coffee and a slim fast. Sigh.

  22. I ADORE cereal.. I have to be honest.. I am not discriminating… I just love it! It is SHEER comfort food to me! I love it dry, with Low Fat Vanilla Almond Breeze. For Breakast, Lunch and if my hubby is not at home for dinner, I will eat a bowl for dinner.
    I love the Healthy stuff.. FiberOne, I love the “junk”, Cinnamon Toast Crunch being my FAVORITE! That stuff is the Bomb! I just open that box and inhale it!!!
    My ideal breakfast would be a CEREAL BUFFET! Really! I don’t know what it is with me and Cereal! hahahah
