5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product - Strong Disagreement with 1-star Rating
The title pretty much says it all. I reserve 5 stars for what I consider the best of the best. I wanted a gluten-free cereal that was different from the few I've been eating over the years. This is definitely NOT like the usual "crispy rice." It's much more substantial (not "90% air"), has a nice, though not too strong, cocoa flavor, and doesn't get soggy in the first...

1.0 out of 5 stars Empty Calories
I am really disappointed in this beand as they are marketing this to kids. 4% Iron and no other vitamins?? With childhood obesity at epidemic proportions, why would ANYONE feed their children all of these empty calories?? It is like giving them Coke or Pepsi for BREAKFAST!! OK ORGANIC Coke but still Coke!! I am sad because I have heard great things about this brand and...

The title pretty much says it all. I reserve 5 stars for what I consider the best of the best. I wanted a gluten-free cereal that was different from the few I've been eating over the years. This is definitely NOT like the usual "crispy rice." It's much more substantial (not "90% air"), has a nice, though not too strong, cocoa flavor, and doesn't get soggy in the first two minutes after milk (or other drink product) is poured on it.

Another rater talked about empty calories. I'll be generous and assume that reviewer is not particularly familiar with reading (and comparing) nutrition labels. If a high quality rice is also considered "empty calories," that review would be valid. But comparing the Koala Crisp nutrition label to the nutrition label on a high quality rice reveals almost identical nutritional values - perhaps because Koala Crisp IS a high quality rice. Just as rice has never been claimed to be a fully balanced meal, neither is Koala Crisp. What it is, is a high quality product made with high quality ingredients (none of the artificial vitamins and minerals added to "grocery store" cereals to make them look better). And it's designed to be used as part of a balanced diet.

With that out of the way, It's just plain good. I buy it by the case, and eat it several times per week for breakfast, I like it that much. And no, I have no connection with the company at all - I just love their products (many of them - not just this one). Now, if they'd just add this one to their line of Eco-pak cereals (large, bulk bags), I'd be even happier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful for little ones, June 15, 2006
By Francis de Wet "Amazon Junkie" (Tallahassee, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We absolutely love this cereal ... eat it quite frequently ;-) We have also found out the little ones absolutely go crazy for it. Best of all, no mil or wheat for those of us with such allergies.

5.0 out of 5 stars As Rachael Ray would say... YUM - O!!, October 16, 2006
By K. M. Koehler "MommyX3" (Kansas, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As the mother of three children, two of whom are Celiacs, I can honestly say... I love this stuff! It has a very nice taste, very nice texture, and it's SAFE for my children to eat. We don't have to worry about toxic grains with this one. It's chocolately, without being "too" chocolatey. And, it's small enough that it's not a choking hazzard for little ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars My kids love it, April 26, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
My kids love this cereal. It is hard to find gluten free breakfast options. We do eat fruit and yogurt, but sometimes you just need carbs and sugar to seem normal again. For the 3 celiacs in our family, feeling normal is a big thing.

I love the ceral. I don't need it for a special diet I just like that it isn't loaded with high fructose corn syrup and there is some fiber in it. I have been buying it at kroger for months and paying 2X the price per box.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites, November 20, 2007
By De Profundis (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This is one of the most delicious gluten-free cereals I've tried, and I have tried many. It's a really tasty, crispy treat. It doesn't go soggy in soymilk right away, and it holds up nicely if you enjoy a gluten-free version of rice krispy treats. Mmmmm.

Since we can't eat most store cereals, this is a great substitute for a gluten free diet.
