I like cereal. This cereal tastes good. I made it myself. hi

maya

(That was Maya. She told me what to type and then she typed “hi” and “Maya”)

Thanks to the nice people at MeandGoji.com, Maya got to make her own “custom artisanal cereal.” She chose from a bunch of different organic cereal bases (she chose granola) and then she added organic chocolate-covered cranberries, organic barley, 2 scoops of organic strawberries, and organic almonds!

I don’t like cereal, but I still have to write the review because Maya can’t. My mom is helping me. These are some things she wants me to tell you:

At first I thought it was weird to include cereal in our gift ideas, but it’s not. Look at their Holiday Mix. My mom said to say that that’s way better than a tin of nuts or something. And everybody is trying to be healthier all the time so this would be a good gift.

My mom ate some with organic yogurt and then she wasn’t hungry for hours!

It’s not a very good present for a kid, but a kid could give it to a grown-up. My mom would like it for a present.

The company gives some of its money to Pink Door, which helps breast cancer survivors. Also, the company was started by three friends who care about the environment and being healthy. This is from their site:

eating raw foods means eating things nature intended, the way nature intended. our fruits are not freeze-dried like most store-bought cereals. freeze-drying is a process that damages the nutritional make-up of the fruit, depletes vitamins and kills the taste.

the only foods worthy of our unique cereal capsule are energy packed, nutrient dense whole foods straight from nature, not chemists. our pure and organic ingredients boast health-enhancing weapons, a bullying history of beating down free radicals and invigorating legends of age defying properties. kapow!

we like to think of ourselves as the hottest new hybrid on the road: part cereal, part muesli, part fruit salad…can’t go wrong! most of the foods we offer are raw.

just add [local] milk, [organic] yogurt, [vermont] maple syrup, [raw] honey or eat it plain, as nature intended.

try our raw 5-grain muesli base for a 100% raw feast with healthy living enzymes and untouched vitamins and minerals. it’s like the sushi of cereal! okay, bad analogy…
