Lucky Charms was one of my favorite “sweet” cereals growing up. At that time, I wasn’t veg and would save all the marshmallows for the last. It was really more dessert than breakfast for me and honestly, my parents were so health conscious, I think we only had a few boxes my entire youth. And most of those were at grandma’s house.

Since becoming veg, I haven’t thought much about Lucky Charms until last night. My husband went to Trader Joe’s to pick up some food to re-stock our poor bear cupboards. He brought home Vanilla Almond Clusters cereal. Of course, I had to taste it almost immediately out of pure curiosity.

The first thing I thought was “Lucky Charms”. There are no marshmallows, but if you close your eyes and imagine dehydrated marshmallows, it tastes almost identical. You should try it. For dessert, of course.
