#14. Nature's Path Flax Plus Pumpkin Raisin Crunch

The name is a mouth and so is the cereal.  Continuing in my search for some healthier pumpkin-flavored alternatives, I sampled Nature's Path pumpkin raisin crunch, one of two pumpkin-inflected cereals they offer, the other of which is the pumpkin flax granola. These people really like flax, apparently. 

One "official" serving.

One "official" serving.

Comprising a mixture of whole wheat and bran flakes, raisins, sticky oat clusters, and pumpkin seeds, this cereal didn't have as intense a pumpkin flavor as I had hoped. Not particularly surprisingly, given that squash is only represented through seeds. Nevertheless, this cereal is terrific for its peerless diversity in textures and strong taste of molasses and cinnamon.

Which leads me to the "problem": a 3/4 cup serving is 210 calories and 4.5 grams of fat, all well and good if you're a normal person but if you're a carb monster like me, at least three servings are needed to fill the stomach.  Coulda had three donuts instead.
