Cinnabon Cereal

Okay, I'll be the first to admit it.  I'm a label reader.   Enjoy walking down the aisles of the grocery store and reading what they put into our food.  Mostly I just look, laugh, and return the items to the shelf as they all contain ridiculous ingredients that I wouldn't be caught dead putting in my body.  However, Sunday night Elissa and I found ourselves in the cereal aisle staring at the newest addition: Cinnabon Cereal.  I laughed heartily and picked up the box to read the label. 

I was shocked!  It was actually made out of good stuff:
INGREDIENTS: WHOLE OAT FLOUR, WHOLE BROWN RICE FLOUR, TURBINADO BROWN SUGAR, FRUIT JUICE CONCENTRATE (PINEAPPLE, PEAR, APPLE, PEACH), WHEAT FLOUR, WHEAT STARCH, MAKARA® CINNAMON, HONEY, CANOLA OIL, NATURAL FLAVORS, CALCIUM CARBONATE.

No hydrogenated oils or High Fructose corn syrup.  In fact, Turbinado sugar is one of the purest most natural form of sugar you can find!  Then I compared the nutritional info with my beloved Honey Nut Cherrios.

I'm not saying that it's health food,, but no sodium, more fiber, not much more sugar, and better ingredients! Hello Cinnabon Cereal!
