I try to buy organic as much as possible. My goal is that 80% of everything we eat is organic. It isn't that hard and it's more expensive, but I like knowing that our food is as pure as possible. If I can't actually make it myself, the fewer ingredients and chemicals I can't pronounce, the better.
I really like trying different options for organic snacks, so was happy to try some Attune products for the family. They have a few different product lines and I tried options that I thought were good fits for us:
Uncle Sam Multi-Grain Cereal: If you like really healthy tasting cereals, you'll love this cereal. It's full of fiber and hearty. I especially enjoyed it in yogurt or mixed with another cereal. It is a little hard to eat on its own with milk. I also think it would be a good addition to homemade granola. I didn't attempt to give this to W, because I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be into it. This is definitely more of a mom cereal.
New Morning Cinnamon Graham Crackers: These taste like a less sweet version of the graham crackers that we're all used to, which I liked. There is a really nice, strong cinnamon flavor, but they don't necessarily hold their crispness when enjoying with coffee in this morning. W actually really liked these and I handed them to a couple of other kids who were used to regular graham crackers and they didn't seem to notice a difference.
Erehwon Crispy Brown Rice with Mixed Berries Cereal: This is great cereal. It works on its own with milk, but can also be mixed with another cereal (like the Uncle Sam's) and stays pretty crispy. I especially enjoyed the berries and the larger sized crisped rice. I didn't get a chance to give it a try, but I think I could have made some pretty awesome rice krispie treats with this cereal.
Attune Chocolate Probiotic Bars: I tried the Milk Chocolate Crisp Probiotic Bar and the Mint Chocolate Probiotic Bar. (All in the name of research, right????) Chocolate with probiotics... Enough said. But, seriously, these were really, really good. Nice flavor. Super tasty. Very crispy. Healthy chocolate (yay!).
All in all, I think they have a lot of great products for my tastes. I like things that taste healthy. Don't you?

The chocolate, of course. The cereals would probably work well in our house. I just read that many popular cereals have 2-3 teaspoons per sugar per bowl. I'd rather give my kids a teaspoon of real sugar to sprinkle over one of these (which I sometimes got to do with Cheerios as a child).
To further turn this into a blog post I'll add that we do non-sugary cereals for our kids, but for their birthdays they get to pick one box of whatever they want and eat it til it's gone. As little kids they were ridiculously ex cited about b-day cereal. Now it's just kid of pitiful that they still perk up about it at their advanced ages.
New Morning Cinnamon Graham Crackers:
Lyla and I both love crackers!

Ok so ummm is ANYone going to say anything but the chocolate? ;)
I'd be interested to see the ingredients in all of them - and the erehwon: is that from the retailer Erehwon? I SO can't spelled "Nowhere" backwards (which is why I still call it the nowhere backwards store).
And you know I follow you :)
I think the crispy brown rice cereal looks good and really like the rice krispie treat idea.
