Van\u2019s<\/a> Natural Foods has several new products on the market this year.  One of those just happens to be Whole Grain Cereals<\/a>.  The cereals are free of dairy, egg, corn, high fructose corn syrup, artificial ingredients, hydrogenated oils, GMO oils and are certified gluten-free by the GFCO<\/a> (Gluten Free Certification Organization).<\/p>\n

At first glace I was thinking that I may have found a replacement for Cinnamon Toast Crunch!  Well, I\u2019ll call this the \u201cgrown up\u201d version.  These cereals both have a great flavor and texture without being overly sweet like a typical kids\u2019 cereals.  The Cinnamon Heaven has a great crunch with a subtle cinnamon flavor.  The Honey Nut Crunch also has that same crunch, but with distinct honey flavor.  I am thrilled to see a great-tasting gluten-free cereal hit the market with a higher fiber count!<\/p>\n
