New Product Review
Raisin Bran Extra!
From Kellogg's
Reviewed by Mr Breakfast on 1/23/2009
Raisin Bran Extra! is exactly what the name promises. It's Raisin Bran with extra stuff and it's pretty good.
The cereal consists of traditional Raisin Bran flakes, raisins, dried cranberries, almond slices and little yogurt clusters. There's not quite as much extra stuff as the spoonful on the box would have you believe, but there's plenty enough to realize that this is Raisin Bran with a little something "extra".
The yogurt clusters add a tiny crunch to the cereal, which is especially nice once the milk has exhausted the flakes of their crunch. The clusters are sweet and have a mild vanilla flavor. But even with the added sweetness, those inclined to sprinkle a little sugar over regular Raisin Bran will probably want to do the same with this cereal.
The only think I'd like to see different would be the addition of more almond slices. They add a nice flavor to the bites that have them, but those bites are relatively rare.
Nutritionally speaking, this cereal is very similar to original Raisin Bran with the sad exception that the new cereal has 1.5 grams of saturated fat - compared to the original's 0 grams. On the flip side, this new cereal has 13 grams of sugars - compared to the original's 19 grams. Both cereals offer 7 grams of dietary fiber.
Given the choice between original Raisin Bran and Raisin Bran Extra! - if they were same price for the same amount - I'd buy the new cereal. I'd don't know if you'll like it as much as I did, but if you like original Raisin Bran at all, you should definitely give this new product a try.
The price we paid: $4.59

This cereal is amazing. Being the cereal-ho that I am, though, I tend to add coco crispies to this as well :)

I like the Raisin Bran Extra is now my favorite cereal. Walmart in my area is having a hard time keeping it on the shelf.

This is an excellent new cereal in the Raisin Bran line, and I actually much prefer this over the regular version. The almonds and yogurt clusters are an excellent addition, hopefully they will make the boxes bigger so the price per oz. will come down a bit. Definitely worth a try, I will be going back for more!

Gave new Extra a try. Flakes were soggy almost immediately. Won't go back for more. The dog even would not even eat the flakes.

I loved the clusters! I was expecting them to be stingier.
Kind of like Basic 4, but slightly better and slightly more expensive.

One of my favorite things about original Raisin Bran is the sweetened raisins. This cereal seems to use regular raisins. I think that is why this cereal, overall, seems a bit less sweet, even with the addition of the yogurt clusters. If you're watching your sugar, this is probably a better pick for you. I like it because even with an extra teaspoon of sugar added, you'll still get added benefits from the almonds and cranberries.
