I have been eating Special K most mornings recently for breakfast and enjoying it. I am wondering how the flavored versions of special K tastes (if anyone has tried them). I don't like sweet cereal (even something like Honey Nut Cheerios is too sweet for me) so I am wondering how sweet they are.

Also I noticed there is a multigrain version of Special K...has anyone tried that? Is it sweet?

Thanks!

    I love the Special K Satisfaction & Vanilla flavors. My problem is that they are more like a treat for me. They taste amazing, but I don't feel like they leave me full. The other problem is the sugar content. Be sure to be keeping track of your sugar because cereals like this will dominate most of your sugar consumption.

    Hey there~ I love Special K cereal, I have tryied the one with strawberries in the special K but I didnt like it bc the strawberries/fruit was to HARD to eat. If you get the cereal with the fruit in it make sure you let it sit in milk for a while so it would soften the dry fruit. I like the SPECIAL K CEREAL BARS. They are awesome.

    I don't care for sweet cereals either. The special K cereals really surprised me, i haven't found i don't like. Even the one with chocolate chunks is good especially for that chocolate craving LOL!!!! i definitely recommend them all, and i have tried them all. I really like the strawberry and chocolate alot.:flowerforyou:

    I absolutely love the Special K with strawberries, but don't allow myself to eat them that often, which may be why I love them so much!

    The chocolate one is yuck. The vanilla yogurt & strawberry ones are very tasty. I noticed they just came out with a granola one, that has a good amount of protein in it.

    Special K Protein Plus, I add a packet of splenda or a serving of fruit to sweeten. :)

    My all-time fav. cereal is the Special K Cinnamon Pecan! The cinnamon is sort of sweet, but I think the pecans give it a nice woodsy flavor that kind of counteracts the sweetness. =)

    If you don't care for sweet cereal and want one that has more protein and more fiber than Special K, check out Kashi-- the Go Lean Crunch and the High Protein High Fiber, in particular, are my favorites. Very filling and satisfying and good taste without being sickenly sweet.
