Read this post for my complete overview of the calories, nutrition facts, and ingredients in Trader Joe’s Frosted Flakes.
We tried this cereal at home and it was quite good, according to my young kids (age 9-11 years). It was the sugary coating that they enjoyed. Plus, they liked that the cereal remained mostly crunchy throughout breakfast. They ate it with whole milk.
I am not a huge fan of serving processed, packaged foods. That said, it’s not banned in our household. So at a minimum, I like to know what’s in the food we eat.
