Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 6    Pros: Crunchy Cons: Tough, a bit of a funny aftertaste I tried the Blueberry flavor. It's nice and crunchy...almost too crunchy. I like it plain (dry) as a snack more than with milk or cream. Overall, unexciting but will give your your cereal fix if you need one! lgpars Senior LCF Member Registered: September 2000 Location: Smyrna, GA, USA Posts: 937 Review Date: Wed December 3, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 5    Pros: Good when they are crunchy, but sort of a bland taste to them Cons: Not too good once they get soft This is a pretty good substitute if you are really craving a bowl of cereal, but I would rather eat a bowl of oatmeal (kind that you cook 5 min.). I think they need to put some kind of spices in the cereal or something so it won't taste so bland. The banana nut flavor just did not come out in the cereal enough. mickyzzzzz05 Senior LCF Member Registered: September 2003 Location: NE Iowa Posts: 903 Review Date: Sat December 6, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.00 | Rating: 9    Pros: Good quick breakfast food Cons: high price We tried the almond box and the taste is great. It is a little pricey but worth it.

Yes | Price you paid?: $5.00 | Rating: 9    Pros: Great taste!! Cons: price I love this stuff with the Carb Countdown milk. Miss Gigl Very Gabby LCF Member!!! Registered: July 2002 Location: Ashburn, VA Posts: 4298 Review Date: Sun December 7, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 7    Pros: Nice change of pace for breakfast. Cons: A bit chewy, portion size is pretty small. I like a bowl of this cereal with some half & half and a few fresh berries. It doesn't fill me up as well as some kind of breakfast meat or cheese does, however. It's a nice change of pace. blue_monday_88 Blabbermouth!!! Registered: February 2003 Location: Hobo-town Posts: 5720 Review Date: Tue December 9, 2003 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: $4.99 | Rating: 3    Pros: Cons: This was OK...and leave it to Atkins Nutritionals to get rid of something that actually tasted GOOD (e.g. Atkins Flakes) and replace it with something that wasn't. If I had just tried the Blueberry Bounty cereal w/o ever knowing there was an Atkins Flakes out there, I may have had a different opinion, but I think these are horrible and I will stick to Keto Crisp from now on. tintinet Junior LCF Member Registered: December 2003 Posts: 6 Review Date: Tue December 9, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.95 | Rating: 8    Pros: Great cereal- love the almond flavor! High protein, good fat, low carb, high fiber Cons: Expensive! Love the Almond flavor! Lowest carbs of the bunch with great texture and flavor! High protein, low carb, good fats, soy, fiber! Terrific product! lv2scrap Senior LCF Member Registered: January 2003 Location: Minnesota Posts: 497 Review Date: Wed December 10, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: Good flavor Cons: Gets mushy fast in milk We have tried the Blueberry and Banana Nut. My husband liked the Blueberry while I liked the Banana Nut. We both found them to be very filling and usually only eat 1/2 a serving. If you looking for a traditional "flake" type cereal, these aren't quite it, they are a bit heavier in texture, but I find them to be pretty good and will buy them again. bab_indy MAJOR LCF POSTER!

No | Price you paid?: $7.00 | Rating: 4    Pros: easy Cons: taste, texture Too sweet and texture was not enjoyable for me. Got very soggy in my soy milk. powellam Junior LCF Member Registered: December 2003 Location: Flower Mound, TX Posts: 3 Review Date: Sat December 27, 2003 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 4    Pros: Change of pace Cons: Artificial texture Although I may finish the box over time I was disappointed. I bought the Almond flavor and although it looks appetizing, the texture tastes very artificial. Ally1 Junior LCF Member Registered: December 2003 Location: Seattle, WA Posts: 1 Review Date: Wed December 31, 2003 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.19 | Rating: 8    Pros: tasty and crunchy Cons: price Blueberry Bounty and Banana Nut are my favorite, the Almond one is not very flavorful and kind of bland and boring. The other two I recommend! Kayjwag MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: January 2004 Location: Cajun Country, LA Posts: 2208 Review Date: Mon January 19, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.99 | Rating: 10    Pros: Taste great as cereal or a snack Cons: price I have the Banana Nut. I like it very much. Eat dry as a snack too. As a snack it makes a great change from nuts. dvmgator Senior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: hurricane central Posts: 135 Review Date: Sat January 24, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.99 | Rating: 7    Pros: crunchy!! Cons: costly, aftertaste Well, after so many eggs, I was thrilled to have cereal! Ate with soymilk. The cereal looks like regular cereal, but is heavier and thicker and takes much longer to chew. The banana flavor seems a little "fake" like banana popsicle flavoring. It is crunchy, though, and I have crushed some to use as piecrust and also use as a quick snack (dry) at work. I think the packaging is a bit misleading, or perhaps just "overpackaged", since the bag of cereal only takes up half the box. psalm57 Junior LCF Member Registered: June 2003 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 48 Review Date: Sun January 25, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Pros: taste Cons: price The banana nut and blueberry are very good and the almond isn't bad either. Kariann71 Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Michigan Posts: 54 Review Date: Thu January 29, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.75 | Rating: 8    Pros: Taste Cons: Price Like other people, after eating eggs every morning I was so happy to have cereal again! I've never been an eggs & bacon type of breakfast person. I always ate cereal, yogurt or a danish for breakfast. Gimme sweets! I enjoyed the Blueberry with Carb Countdown on it. It didn't get soggy, which is a plus. It had a nice crunchy texture, and was quite sweet. It's also good for a snack. Kitsa Senior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Ohio Posts: 311 Review Date: Thu February 5, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.99 | Rating: 8    Pros: Nice and sweet, like the texture, good with berries in the morning Cons: PRICE!! Why must it be so expensive? The box is tiny! I actually really like the cereal. I got the Banana Nut flavor and I am definitely going to get another box when this when I run out. I actually look forward to eating this for breakfast, which is a nice change from dreading other Atkins-marketed meals. The price is insane, though. Before I was hard-up for low-carb options, I would have told you that any cereal that costs almost $6 a box had better have gold-plated flakes. I guess they know they've got us. One slightly disturbing thing is the way the flakes puff up in milk. We used to have a dog who wouldn't eat his dry food unless we poured his water in with it. The kibbles got all pale and puffy and floated around the bowl. When I saw the flakes puff up, I had quite a flashback to overcome. blackhawk Junior LCF Member Registered: July 2003 Location: Chicago Posts: 17 Review Date: Sun February 8, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: $4.99 | Rating: 1    Pros: Let me think,.... Nothing Cons: Everything How can I describe the flavor of this cereal, HMMMM. First, take a large sheet of poster board, then take an airbrush, fill the tank with quick drying Nutrasweet, spray the entire board with Nutrasweet, bake for twenty minutes, bring it out to your garage and place the hardened poster board over two saw horses, take a sledge hammer and strike the board at an approximate 45 degree angle, collect all pieces of the poster board, place it in a fermetically sealed bag, put it in a cardboard box, stamp the box with the "Atkins" logo, seal the box, put "$4.99" on the box, then sell this box of Nutrasweet flavored cardboard to some idiot in Chicago. There you have it folks, Atkins Morning Start Cereal. My biggest fear is when I find myself at the Mayo clinic in the Gastrointestinal unit and the leading M.D. says to his collegues, "Hey guys, you gotta see this!!" And there, upon a well illuminated MRI of my lower intestine, is a piece of Atkins Morning Start cereal lodged in my colon. genny Senior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 862 Review Date: Wed February 11, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: $4.59 | Rating: 4    Pros: High Fiber, No Trans Fats, Folic Acid Cons: Taste, small portion size, cost This was waaaaaay too sweet. The texture was ok (very similar to other high fiber brands) and I appreciated the addition of almonds to the crunchy almond crisp. But they totally overdid the sweet, in an attempt to make it more like "kid's cereal", I guess. The aftertaste from all the sweetener was a big turn off. Also, if you use a scale to weigh out your 30 grams (1 serving), it barely covered the bottom of the cereal bowl. I am looking for a way to get more fiber into my diet, and I guess I'll have to keep looking. Good idea, but poorly executed. fendel Senior LCF Member Registered: May 2001 Location: Minneapolis Posts: 88 Review Date: Thu March 4, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.99 | Rating: 9    Pros: Tasty Cons: A little pricey This gets a little chewy in milk, but it has a good taste, and I had really missed breakfast cereal. I love this with Carb Countdown and cream. Since it's expensive, I do measure out the 2/3 cup serving to make sure I don't use up the box too fast... but I sometimes go back for a little more. texasdawn Very Gabby LCF Member!!!

Cons: Price I really like the taste of this cereal. But the price is too much for me to be spending all the time.

No | Price you paid?: $4.99 | Rating: 2    Pros: taste is OK without milk Cons: too much soy flavor and terrible texture with milk This is not an adequate substitute for cereal to me. axela Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Posts: 34 Review Date: Wed March 31, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $4.99 | Rating: 8    Pros: filling Cons: expensive and # of servings info seems wrong i eat the almond every morning with a mixture of full-fat yogurt and unsweetened yogurt. i measure out 2/3 a cup and according to the package, there should be 9 servings in that box. there are about 4-5, which makes me question the carb info. is it really 3 carbs for 1/3 of a cup? anyone know?

No | Price you paid?: $4.59 | Rating: 1    Pros: crunchy Cons: fake taste Had the blueberry morning. Horrible. Sickening taste of fake sweetener. I had a couple of bites and threw away the box, so disappointing! jshallow01 Junior LCF Member Registered: April 2004 Posts: 20 Review Date: Sun May 9, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Pros: We get to eat cereal. Cons: A little on the sweet side. I like the almond better than the blueberry. One serving is very filling because it is so high in protein. tracelin Blabbermouth!!! Registered: April 2003 Posts: 7316 Review Date: Mon May 10, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $5.00 | Rating: 10    Pros: taste and crunch Cons: none! I love this!!! This is great, and the price is worth it just to have a "crunch" and to be able to trick my brain into thinking I can still have my beloved bowl of cereal on the WOE! I've tried the Blueberry and it's SWEET, but yummy! Go! Rush! Buy it now!!! PS. it's so much better than the Keto cereals!!

Yes | Price you paid?: $5.99 | Rating: 6    Pros: Hey, its cereal Cons: Why so sweet It was good to have cereal again, but why did they make it so sweet!! Just tone down the splenda a little, and it would be a great product. careb Very Gabby LCF Member!!!
