I've tried probably 80% of the cereals in the cereal aisle, and Special K Cinnamon Pecan is one of my favorites. I wasn't too sure about the combination of cinnamon and pecans when I first tried it, but it's great! I'm notorious for eating cereal multiple times a day, and I like the versatile ones. I can put fruit (banana, raisins, dried cherries or cranberries) in this to change it up a bit, or sometimes I even mix it with yogurt. There are usually a lot of nuts in the cereal, too, so that's great. I wouldn't like it if it were just flakes with just enough nuts so that they could put it on the box. In general, I think Special K is a fairly healthy choice. There's probably too much sugar, but it could be much worse. The price is pretty good too. My usual grocery store often has sales on Special K products, and I stock up. It's not usual for me to have 4 to 5 boxes in my pantry at once, and cinnamon pecan has become my go-to.

This is probably my second favorite special K cereal, beat only by the vanilla almond variety. I love the texture of the flakes and the pecans, and it goes really well with the cinnamon flavor. Nice and sweet and satisfying. Definitely a good breakfast option.

Kellogg's Special K Cinnamon Pecan Cereal is really good! I did not know what to expect since I had not really eaten Special K before. It was a great surprise! The flakes are very tasty-they are sweet, but not too sweet, and have a great cinnamon flavor! I love that they are healthy and so full of flavor. The pecans are a nice size and really complement the cinnamon flavor. This is a great cereal!

I'm a person that needs to watch my weight. And after reaching my goal weight through Weight Watchers, I'm always looking for healthy and tasty foods that won't put those pounds back on. I often like to have something a little crunchy to eat. I eat breakfast every day and prefer something that has more than just carbs. The pecans add some healthy nutrients and the cinnamon provides the extra nonsugary taste. I always liked the other kinds of Special K because of the satisfying flavor and not being an "adult candy" with empty calories from sugars. This newer recipe with the nuts is one of my favorites. I think it is important to eat the recommended portion size in order to stay within a healthy daily calorie range because, as they say, too much of even a good thing isn't good.

After learning I had elevated cholesterol, I knew I had to improve my diet and started with breakfast.  I decided to try Special K Cinnamon Pecan cereal.  The cereal was surprisingly delicious.  It has the sweetness of kids' cereal, but it's good for me, as well.  The flakes stay crisp and never get soggy and the flavor keeps me wanting more. My only issue with the cereal is that it is lacking pecans.  I find myself asking "Where are my nuts?" I average about 5 to 6 pecans per bowl but ideally would like a pecan in every bite.  Overall a great, healthy cereal that I think anyone would enjoy.

I'm a sucker for cinnamon and pecans in anything. Now I can get it in my cereal! I discovered Special K Cinnamon Pecan Cereal soon after it came out on the market. I tried it and it is delicious! It's not too sweet and the pecans give it the right amount of extra crunch. The chunks of pecans are large enough that you really get a big pecan taste. This cinnamon tasted is consistent throughout my entire bowl. I've always enjoyed Special K and these added flavors have quickly become my favorite! The flakes are still light and crunchy. I am easily filled after eating a bowl. There are days where I really look forward to my breakfast because it's SO GOOD! Sometimes I'll eat it again for lunch! My children also enjoy eating this cereal and I don't mind them eating it. It's not overloaded with sugar. My daughter prefers to eat it dry. She saves the pecans for last! Overall, it's a great product and can be enjoyed by the whole family.

I personally am a cinnamon lover so when they introduced this cereal I had to try it. I was plesently surprised at the fresh taste of the pecans and just the right amount of cinnamon, what a lovely addition to the great line-up of cereal for those of us who like to have our "cake" and eat it too!

I'll admit it...I'm an adult who still loves sugary, sweet kid's cereals. There I said it. However, my wasteline doesn't always appreciate my tastes. It has been almost 8 months since I had my daughter and my excuse of "I just had a baby" is starting to not be an excuse any more. I decided to do the Special K challenge that is always advertised with my friend. The problem I don't really like Specail K that much or so I thought. I had tried the one with the strawberries before and a couple other flavors that weren't bad, but I got bored with the taste quick. I saw the Cinnamon and Pecan flavor and decided to get it to try because my grocery store was sold out of all the other kinds except for the plain old Special K (and that was just not going to work for me). On the first day of the challenge, I was shocked when I tasted my first bite. IT TASTE LIKE CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH!!!!! This was going to work! I feel like I'm not supposed to be enjoying this cereal as much as I am since it is part of a diet, but I am.

I'm not a breakfast person.  A slice of Quick Bread or a donut and coffee; and I'm good to go.   I have a small breakfast, lunch and dinner.  In the evening as I settle down to watch TV, I usually have some cereal (right out of the box) and some carrots to munch on. My criteria for "munching cereal" are pretty simple:  high in fiber, low in fat and sugar and crunchy. Kellogg's Special K Cinnamon Pecan Cereal meets some of these criteria. When I brought the box home I thought, "Great.  This is going to taste like tree bark."  But no!  Crunchy, cinnamony, little bits of pecan.  10 grams of sugar are the maximum that I will consider in a cereal.  This cereal has 7 grams but still is a little sweet for me.  The pecans are few and far between.  It has 2 grams of fat, no trans fat or cholesterol and 3 grams of fiber. All around, though, I would recommend this cereal.  It comes with a "same great taste you love guarantee" so what have you got to lose?
