Our gluten-free cereal a dream come true

It is just a little thing, but I truly makes my day when people who cerealized their gluten-free breakfast and tell me how much they enjoyed the experience. At the end of the day, that’s what Custom Choice Cereal is all about!

The Nutritionist Reviews Healthy Gluten-free CerealNutritionist and soon-to-be-dietitian Amanda (does it get more qualified than that??) reviewed the cereal she created on her blog The Nutritionist Reviews, and for her it is “pretty much a dream come true”. She goes on by saying

“Oh, you want to know how it tastes? Well, it tastes great. The flakes have a pretty mild flavor but the fruit and nuts make it loaded with flavor. I like the contrast between the crunch of the flakes and the chew of the fruit. I would HIGHLY recommend this cereal to anyone, even people without a gluten sensitivity. Thanks Custom Choice Cereal for the awesome breakfast treat!”

Isn’t that cool? If you decide to create your perfect healthy cereal with your favorite ingredients, please don’t forget to let me know your feedback!

That’s what Brit did. She is intolerant to gluten and recently discovered that there are a few gluten-free cereals out there. But read for yourself what she writes on her blog about Custom Choice Cereal:

Yuppish gluten-free cereal creations

“… a few cereals are gluten free, but they were either too sugary for me or they tasted like, um, nothing. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some sugary cereal, but it has it’s time and place (and that’s not everyday). A few weeks ago, I heard about Custom Choice Cereal and just had to try it. They sent me a few mixes (of my choosing!) and I fell in love.

The process is pretty simple. You choose the base of your cereal and then you add ingredients (all dried fruits and nuts). The end result is gluten free, ridiculously yummy (Matt had no idea they were gluten free until I told him), oh and healthy, too!

I think it doesn’t get any better than that!  Then I saw the pictures she took of her cereal concoctions: they are absolutely amazing and made me immediately want to pour a bowl of gluten-free cereal. Fortunately, I always have quite a few mixes at hand… :-) Brit raves on about the awesome pears” and “fantastic apricots” but her conclusion says it best:

“I did try some new things (which I fully encourage, you’ll never know until you try it!). I’m excited about finding a cereal that is positively gluten free and absolutely tasty.

This is our mission at Custom Choice Cereal, and it makes us proud every time we hear someone telling us that we succeed at it!

Gluten-free cereal: created, tasted, loved

Ann writes the blog Healthy Tasty Chow, and the funny story about her is that her husband actually had stomach issues when she became pregnant. After a quick test they soon found out that among other food allergies he is mildly allergic to wheat.

Healthy Tasty ChowCustom Choice Cereal’s cereal creations made from all gluten-free ingredients are therefore the perfect treat for him. As we have pointed out before, gluten-free is also wheat-free and thus safe for Ann’s husband. Funny enough, it was Ann who actually sampled our cereal since it provided a much welcomed opportunity to procrastinate a little before cleaning the kitchen :-)

“I pour myself a nice little bowl of my custom cereal. And then another bowl. And now I’m eating it dry out of the bag. Is it that good or am I just hungry? A little of both I think. [...] A friend of mine, Megan, has celiac disease and so I decided to give her half of the bag to try out for herself. She said that she loved the flakes, they held their texture in milk significantly better than other gluten free flake cereals she has tried. Like me, she loved the added ingredients…”

Thanks a lot, Ann, receiving such a great feedback is the best encouragement for us at Custom Choice Cereal. For Ann, the intuitive ordering process was big part of the overall fun in creating her personal gluten-free cereal:

“It’s really cool to make your own cereal and see the Nutrition Facts change with each item that you add/subtract. What was even cooler is that when I received my order in the mail, within the week, my nutrition facts were printed on the back with a complete ingredient list. It had an order number for easy re-ordering as well. I love love love this concept and hope it continues to flourish…”

Gluten-free cereal on PNWLocalNews

All the way across the country from North Carolina, Pacific Northwest Local News (PWNLocalNews) combines the coverage of more than 30 local community newspapers on a single website. We at Custom Choice Cereal think that this is a pretty cool concept and are therefore thrilled about the article about our gluten-free cerealizations on this website.
Gluten Free Foodie Cereal
The author of the article, Lisa, frequently writes about gluten-free foods and celebrates the meals that people with celiac disease, an intolerance to gluten, or other food sensitivities can eat. Lisa’s motivation is thus pretty closely aligned with the Custom Choice Cereal mission, and that is just one more reason we are so excited about this review. She sampled her personal gluten-free cereal blend and writes

“If you are like me, a good Gluten Free cereal is hard to find. I like my cereal to have good nutritional value, good protein, fiber, low fat and above all flavor. No worries, I recently found a cereal that allows you to pick and choose the ingredients to create your own special mix. The company is called Custom Choice Cereal and it is made in a dedicated Gluten Free facility. [...] When I purchased my cereal, I was amazed as to how quick I received it. I got it within 3 days – NC to WA! not bad!”

Gluten Free Foodie Cereal Label
Lisa wanted to hear more about the idea and concept behind Custom Choice Cereal and did the obvious: she called us at 919-484-9757. We encourage you to do the same because it allows you to get an even better understanding of who we are. We must admit that it’s also always fun for us to hear from you! And before we recap the call here we just let her speak for us:

“I had a really great conversation with Hajo, the founder of the company, and was thrilled to hear that he decided to start this company for a friend from college that was gluten intolerant and had a hard time finding good, healthy cereal. I love to hear the stories of companies that realize there is a need for better quality Gluten Free food for a friend or family member.”

Thank you, Lisa! Check out what else the Gluten Free Foodie writes in her article and watch out for the special discount for your next order!

“I have found a great place to make your own delicious cereal mix using only the finest and freshest ingredients as well as it being completely Gluten-Free. Custom Choice Cereal is a wonderful place to go and make your own customized cereal mix with just the right mix of whatever you like.”

Knowing the great taste of our cerealizations we of course agree but external confirmation is always the best encouragement for us! Here are some more of Eloise’s thoughts and feedback about her personal gluten-free concoction:

“I absolutely loved this cereal mix. It had HUGE pieces of strawberries, which are my favorite fruit [...] You don’t have to be on a Gluten-Free diet to enjoy these cereals, but if you are Custom Choice Cereal makes it so easy to get the taste and mix that you want without losing all of the flavor. I HIGHLY recommend this company to my friends and family.”

Gluten-free. Peace. Love. Nutrition.

Peace. Love. NutritionJocelyn describes herself as always having been interested in “holistic approaches to nutrition and fitness and ways of incorporating the mind, body, and spirit into wellness and well being”. That’s why she started the blog Peace. Love. Nutrition. Our customized gluten-free cereal fits right in there, and we are therefore very excited that she reviewed her Custom Choice Cereal concoction. Jocelyn writes that

“This was the perfect combination of sweet and crunchy. It was crazy how FRESH the fruit was. I’m now ADDICTED to strawberries in my cereal. Thank you Custom Choice : )”

Peace. Love. Nutrition. Gluten-free cerealNo need to tell us – we know what we’re about to say sounds cheesy! But it’s true! It really makes our day when someone lets us know how much they enjoy the gluten-free cereal they created. It is the best proof that we succeed with our mission to bring taste and variety to gluten-free breakfast table! But what Jocelyn says about our customer service comes as the (gluten-free) icing on the cake for us:

“What sets Custom Choice Cereal apart from many of the other ‘make your own’ companies is their customer service. They were there with quick and informative responses to all of my questions. [...] Also their delivery was very quick. I got my cereal within 3 days of ordering it! I definitively HIGHLY recommend [...] this product.”

There isn’t much we can add. Except for Thank you, Jocelyn!
