review: Island Vanilla

Another of the Kashi equivalent to Mini-Wheats, except the latter doesn't come in a vanilla flavor. Which is probably a good thing because it wouldn't be better than this. So authentically vanilla. I think that's the best way to describe it. First, it passed the smell test. When I first open a bag, I want the distinct aroma of whatever the flavor's supposed to be. It smelled like real vanilla to me, not artificial. Then I tasted it. It's as if each piece of wheat was infused with vanilla. Thorough, but not overpowering. If you like flavorful but not overly sweet cereals, you'll enjoy this one.
