KELLOGG’S PUMPKIN SPICE FROSTED MINI WHEATS

Welcome to day 16 of Tag Sale Tastes’ Pumpkinpalooza!

Today I’m starting my day with Kellogg’s Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Frosted Mini Wheats:

The inclusion of cinnamon and ginger in the ingredients offered hope:

And for those with wheat allergies and gluten sensitivity, in case they missed the “Wheat” in Mini Wheats and the fact that wheat is the first ingredient listed, there is the advisory “Contains Wheat Ingredients.”

Here they are:

I liked that the frosting was orange (even though it did not come from pumpkin).  Just like I appreciate that Strawberry Mini Wheats are pink.  My brain really needs those visual clues.  They looked so autumnal bobbing around in their dish of milk:

I was pleased to discover that they weren’t half bad.  In fact, I rather liked them.  The spice was noticeable, but not overwhelming.  With temperatures still in the 90s here in Houston, these were a subtle little reminder to hang in there and that fall is on the way.
