I haven't been able to go to Trader Joe's for breakfast cereal. I do usually eat oatmeal in the morning but I get tired of having it every day and like to change things up with cold cereal. I've been grocery shopping online and not finding a lot of appealing choices but I had heard of Uncle Sam's so I figured I would give it a try.

I got the Toasted Whole Wheat Berry Flakes & Flaxseed Cereal.

Not the greatest tasting cereal but I think it plays in the same league as oatmeal. And of course the key is to add fruit. not as cheap as oatmeal. But stacks up nicely nutrition-wise.

It also is pretty close to Whole Food. Just 4 ingredients: whole grain wheat; flaxseed; barley malt; salt. It says on the box its nonGMO. but it doesn't say it's organic.

* of course, you can just add a tbsp of flaxseed to your oatmeal.
