Rokit Fuel Stud Muffin Cereal Review

Since I had already experienced Rokit Fuel Cherry Almond Cereal Review, I knew it was heavy on the oats, so this morning, when I wanted a filling breakfast (8 mile run yesterday and 2400 yard swim today demands fuel), I decided to have Rokit Fuel Stud Muffin Cereal as a "hot cereal" breakfast.

I boiled some water and added it to the Rokit cereal already in a bowl and stirred it around - this absorbs water. The taste was sweet, but not too much so and it seemed like every bite had a crunch from nuts - I thought it was almonds, but there's also sunflower seeds, pecans, sesame seeds and walnuts listed in the ingredients list. There was also quite a bit of blueberries (which to me tasted like chocolate chives - possibly because of all the spices added), and I love my tart cherries in cereal, but they seemed to lose the tartness here. Still, I LOVED this as a "hooked up oatmeal." Quite tasty and very filling.

Each 95 gram container of Rokit Fuel Cherry Almond Cereal provides 380 calories, 12 grams of total fat, 1 gram of which is saturated fat (18% and 5% of the daily value), 6 grams of fiber (24% of the DV), 23 grams of sugars and 9 grams of protein. The ingredients are all natural.

That's a lot of calories for breakfast - but like they say, this is Endurance Food, and not only that, I found this to be a filling breakfast. I had an apple a few hours later, but felt no "I'm starving" hunger pangs when lunch time rolled around. I received samples from the company, but it can be purchased online through Rokit.com where a 6 pack cereal cup costs $17.94 - almost $3.00 each, which is pricey, so I would save this for mornings when I know I'm going to using a lot of energy - like running a half marathon, or doing a triathlon.

Tasting! Deep Chocolate Vita Muffin

Deep Chocolate sounds like a porn movie cast with black people in it. But this isn’t about sexual encounters of the black people kind. It’s about Vita Muffins. The kind with 6 grams of fiber, 3 grams of protein and less sugar than an apple.

When I Facebooked that I’d be eating my first ever VitaMuffin in life, the responses ranged from “I wanna try”, to “They’re too expensive”, to “They’re so delicious”.

First of all, they ARE expensive. The miniature muffin is less than half the size of the big azz ones from the bakery. I also expected the miracle of that same taste a normal-regular muffin delivers with its sugary crap magic…. but I didn’t get any of that.

Deep Choco VitaMuffin is more of an acquired taste for having the name “muffin” attached to it. Why? Because it’s barely sweet. But I demand all Vita fans to NOT get pissed at me. I’m not complaining. I’m merely saying it’s not as sweet as I desired, yet I’m fascinated by the German Chocolate’y Cake experience.

It has deep, rich, quality choco taste that’s on par with the kind I’ve had at fancy restaurants. And I don’t know how the Vita people accomplish it, but the muffin is so moist, it should be called VitaCupcake. I had it at both room temperature and heated up (which is waaay better).

Feel free to ignore my b!tching about the lack of sugary sweetness. VitaMuffin’s ingredients make it way too impressive to not buy and chew on for yourself. If you’ve been putting off the Deep Chocolate VitaMuffin, go on and give it a try.
