I’ve got a weak spot for brown shuga’ cinnamon Pop Tarts®, a preference that littleQ has no doubt acquired, if he hadn’t inherited it, already. They’re so delicious, but considering I’ll gladly snack on them all day long, they’re really something of a guilty pleasure for me. Yes, I love them that much.
So, how happy do you think I am that Kelloggs® has come out with Brown Sugar Cinnamon and Strawberry Pop Tarts® that are made with WHOLE GRAINS? It kicks butt, because although I definitely still need to moderate my intake of the deliciously delectable toaster pastries, it’ll no longer be such a guilty pleasure for me to eat munch on them during the day, because I’ll be getting more out of each Pop Tart than just my carb and sugar fix.
Whole Grain Pop Tarts have less calories than regular pop tarts do, and they also have less sugar and more fiber. As you would expect, the primary ingredient is whole wheat flour, and each pastry has one full serving of whole grains. I have to admit, I absolutely hate wheat bread… I can’t stand it, even though it’s healthier for ya’, but Whole Grain Pop Tarts taste sooo much better than regular pop tarts, so if you’re worried about that, just don’t.
I recently received both flavors, Brown Sugar Cinnamon and Strawberry, to try, and while I much prefer the brown shuga cinnamon, I found that both flavors were more pleasing to the palate than their regular counterparts. There’s substantially more flavor in the whole grain version (it definitely comes from the adjusted pastry recipe!), and it also tastes healthier. They don’t really have that prepackaged-starch flavor present in regular Pop Tarts, which you probably don’t mind or even notice right now, and you won’t until you taste the Whole Grain versions. The combination of the new pastry recipe and the fillings (especially the brown sugar!) definitely make the Pop Tarts taste more like what they are : delicious, satisfying pastries with yummy fillings. But.. I have a feeling that until you taste them yourself, you won’t really know what I’m talking about… but you will when you try them.
