(Update: We reviewed both!)

Yet again, vegetables are forgotten in the breakfast aisle.

Don’t get me wrong, I love fruit: ketchup is my favorite! But corn flour shouldn’t be the only place nature’s more savory bounty can express its vegetableau of unique flavors.

I’m talking Zucchini Bread Toast Crunch. Sweet Dill Frosted Flakes. Maple Sweet Potato Casserole Cheerios (a boy can dream, can’t he?).

But no—with Kellogg’s newest two cereals in its seemingly endless harvest of upcoming products, sweet and juicy fruit top the breakfast food pyramid yet again.

I guess I can’t be too upset: I never got to try the original, 1983 incarnation of Strawberry Krispies, but it still has loyal fans, even 35 years later. So if 2007’s Rice Krispies with Strawberries was a bit of a slap in the face to them, I’d understand. Either way, both real nostalgiacs and wistful wannabes like me can rejoice, because Strawberry Krispies are getting a proper revival.

I’d imagine the natural first thing to do with these micro rose petal Krispies is to fon-douse it in chocolate milk. We don’t know a concrete release date yet, but I hope I don’t have to wait until Valentine’s Day to share a carton of chocolates with Strawberry Krispies.

Kellogg’s other upcoming release, however, is all original: Frosted Mini-Wheats Fruit Medley.

Just looking at the box’s thick wheat biscuits, I automatically picture a disastrous dry beach-turned-mirage vacation—how could a cereal this dry do juicy fruit flavors justice?

But the more I consider Fruit Medley Mini-Wheats’ unique blend of peach, apple, and pear fruit flavors, the more I think it could work as more of a “spring pie” approach—at least that’s the season of release the box color’s would have me believe.

Though that just makes my unrealized dream of Carrot Cake Mini-Wheats all the more bittersweet.

So while these may just seem like two more cereals to toss on top of the laundry/pantry list of new cereals soon-to-come, I definitely think each has potential—even if only for a certain niche of wispy berry and Animal Crossing fruit blend fans.

As for me? Well until early 2019 releases its onslaught of promised sweets, I’ll be whittling eggplants into cereal spoons.

  1. Ugh, why do all of these new great sounding cereals have to be coming out in the new year? Now sour patch cereal, 2 new Pebbles cereal flavors, and the Dunkin Donuts cereal. So much for starting a diet in January. The last quarter of 2018 has been pretty quiet with new cereal releases. Too bad none of these will be coming out in November or December.

  2. Oh did they get the recipe back from South Africa?
    Strawberry Pops 😉

    But will always like Sammy the Seal over Snap! Crackle! and Pop! 😉
    Like the color, feels so “natural”, but as mentioned many time before… strawberry isn’t a flavor i like. Though i like the idea of eating the cereal with chocolate milk. I’m looking forward to that experiment 🙂

    I somehow used to like Mini Wheats, but i haven’t got me box in a long time… maybe i should…
    The fruit medley sounds interesting. I think could work pretty well 🙂

    Cheers!
