Something different in each of us – something worth celebrating.
Words that are proven by what I experienced with the Uncle Sam cereal today!
I had first discovered Attune Foods on Twitter and really wanted to experience the whole cereals.
I received two boxes- Uncle Sam Honey Almond Cereal and Uncle Sam Great Multi-Grains Cereal. For this review I’m doing the Honey Almond…the other will be coming up soon!
I didn’t realize how filling the cereal was and had hoped to do both in the same day but wow the Uncle Sam Honey Almond Cereal filled me up-which is an accomplishment because usually I can eat multiple bowls of cereal before actually filling satisfied. I was amazed, I mean seriously I cannot express enough how I do not normally fill appeased with just one bowl of cereal.
For those who read ingredients (and we all should be reading the ingredient labels!), these will reassure you that you’re doing your body good by eating this cereal.
The ingredients in order: Toasted Whole Wheat Berry Flake (whole wheat kernels, salt, barley malt, niacin, riboflavin (Vit. B2), Thiamin Mononitrate (Vit. B1), Sliced Almonds, Flax Seed, Evaporated Cane Juice, Honey.
There are no chemicals, preservatives or funky flavors or colorings in here. Just pure whole goodness and nutrition!
The serving size is 3/4 cup and has 230 calories per serving, with 50 of those from fat.
Each serving packs 100% whole grain, 6g of protein, 6g of fiber and has Omega-3 Fatty Acids from the flaxseed in the cereal. They use whole flaxseed (not powdered) so you get the freshness and maximum benefit from you actually grinding/biting it with your teeth rather than simply adding the powder to the cereal (which isn’t as potent or beneficial).
There are a lot of slices of almond in each bowl!
Whole grains are used to help your digestive system function properly, helps maintain proper blood sugar levels, helps reduce the risk of heart disease, helps lower cholesterol and helps with maintaining weight or losing weight. Additionally, fiber gives you energy to get through the day. I know after I ate this cereal I was ready to go and did…I went for a run and felt wonderfully. I wasn’t exhausted, as is the case often especially in the South Florida heat, humidity!
Have I mentioned that there are a lot of almonds in this cereal. Each spoonful has some! It’s not like other cereals that have minimal ‘extra’ yummies in them. There seriously are almonds in each bite.
Can you tell I like almonds?
All in all this cereal was an energizing vibrant breakfast choice for me.
I can’t wait until tomorrow when I try the Uncle Sam Great Multi-Grains one!

I *love* the Honey Almond Uncle Sam cereal! I’m always equally impressed with how many almonds you get in each serving. 🙂
