NEW Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends Giveaway

Purex has a theme going on right now and as a Purex Insider I get the early word on these things.  This box of the NEW Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends gives you a hint!

It seems Purex and Post have summer on their minds already.

First I'll share the newest arrival at my house, with you.

With 50 million smiles and counting, Honey Bunches of Oats is introducing a new way to smile. Crispy mango flavored flakes combine with real coconut shavings and coconut flavored granola clusters in NEW Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends.  Sounds like a vacation in a box, doesn't it?

From the time I laid eyes on the this cheery box with the exotic name I was excited and couldn't wait to try it.  As soon as I tried the first bit I was telling everyone in the house I've found my new cereal!  For real, Neil, Zach and Ki'a can back me up on that.  I then insisted they all take a bit right out of the box.  Now first I should tell you my two grand kids are two of the pickiest eaters you will find (so I secretly had my doubts as to whether they would really like it). These two loved it.  They looked shocked too!  Both ask if they could have a little bit to snack on in a bowl.  That's a good thing and here are a few reasons why:

As for me I really like the flavors.  They're like a burst of summer.  They're so different from any cereal I've ever eaten. Now in all honesty I have to give you my full opinion.  I wasn't as crazy about it as a cereal once I poured milk over it.  It lost some of the flavor and I like a little more crunch in my cereal.  It was a little mushy for me.  The coconut granola clusters are fantastic and I love the real coconut shavings.  Even the flakes that are flavored with mango are deli. 

Will I buy the NEW Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends with my own money?

Absolutely, because I'm sitting here with a little bag of it now.  I love putting it in a ziplock bag and snacking on it.  And I know I'll be taking it with me to the beach this summer to snack on.

Just like I'm a grits girl who likes the texture of grits but I don't like oatmeal because of the mushy-ness, I'm guessing your tastes could be different than mine.  In other words "Try it - you'll probably like it".
