Can you believe it?? The year is rapidly drawing to an end, and we only have a few hours left of 2010! It’s been an exciting and fun year for us at Custom Choice Cereal, and we have to thank YOU for that. Without you, none of what we achieved this year would have been possible!

So it makes us happy that we can close out 2010 with what has become a good tradition on Fridays: recognizing you and your creativity in naming the custom gluten-free cereals that you created.

WE WISH YOU A HAPPY, SUCCESSFUL, HEALTH AND FUN NEW YEAR! MAY ALL YOUR WISHES COME TRUE!

Happy Friday from New York City! That’s right, small town Durham based Custom Choice Cereal is on a gluten-free food adventure in the Big Apple. If you have recommendations for places we should try, please leave a comment or tell us on our facebook page. We’ll try to test it all and give you a recap next week!

Since another weekend is approaching, it means that the Custom Choice Cereal crew lives up to its tradition of recognizing the most creative names you gave your custom gluten-free cereals. Your creativity causes a lot of laughter here, so thank you!

This past week’s best/most creative/fun names are

5. Berries, nuts and chocolate! (Perfect treat in this kind of weather!)
4. Berry Delicious (What’s up with the berries?)
3. OMG it’s cold! (Can’t argue with that…)
2. This is MINE, HANDS OFF!! (Wow.)
1. And the winner is More Mama Yum Yum (mix ID aab29a)

Enjoy the weekend and stay healthy everyone!

Happy first Friday in December! This means that there are only a few weeks left in this year. It also means that we at Custom Choice Cereal are recognizing the most creative names you gave your custom gluten-free cereals.

It’s definitely interesting to see how your ingredients change with the seasons. As the days got shorter and colder, most of you choose to add more Apples, Pecans, Walnuts, Chia Seeds, and Chocolate Chips to your cereal. A few of you want to keep the summer in their cereal bowl and create gluten-free breakfast blends with Pineapple, Organic Coconut, and Apricots. We can sympathize!

Here are what we subjectively considered the most creative names. What would you name your mix?

7. Morning Blue Coconut (Interesting.)
6. Hand Delivered (That’s right, we do anything for our customers!)
5. Pumpkin Raisin Bran (Oh so familiar…)
4. Hellana’s tropical blend (See? Told ya.)
3. Berry Good (Word.)
2. Sally’s Sunshine Sustenance (Beautiful!)
1. And our winner is Maddie’s Morning Brainpower (mix ID a58775)

Have a wonderful weekend!

It’s true – another week has passed. A quick glance at the calendar revealed that this was week 45, which means that there are only 7 weeks left in 2010. Time passes quickly at Custom Choice Cereal!

This being said, we still take the time to keep up the good tradition of recognizing a few of the names you gave the gluten-fee cereal mixes you created this week. The (subjectively chosen) top names are:

5. No more boring (YES!)
4. Kali Goji Granola (Can’t go wrong with superfruit for breakfast)
3. Becky’s Berry Breakfast (Beautiful name for a tasty mix)
2. Go UNC! (Love it! Football-wise didn’t help much though…)
1. And the winner is runr7 (mix ID 78bdf4)

Thank you for making our job fun & have a wonderful weekend!

A busy and somewhat crazy week is ending today, and we at Custom Choice Cereal aren’t even referring to the mid-term elections…

Besides meeting tons of great new people we also saw quite a few outstanding names for the gluten-free cereal and granola mixes that you created. By now it has become a good tradition for us at Custom Choice Cereal to recognize a few of them and hopefully inspire some of you for when it’s time to name your next gluten-free cereal concoction. This week’s top names are:

5. Chocolate Banana Nut Bread Cereal (Our newest ingredient!)
4. No Grain No Pain (But oh so tasty)
3. Emily’s Rockin’ Delicious Mix! (Couldn’t say it any better)
2. Toothless the Dragon (Really?)
1. And the winner is Cynthia’s Granola Extravaganza (mix ID 26906d)

Thank you for truly being the best customers anyone could want, it is such a privilege to be able to serve you. We wish you a wonderful weekend!

We at Custom Choice Cereal saw some very interesting mixes and names this week. There clearly are two trends: those who miss summer go with the more tropical ingredients such as Pineapple, Macadamias, Coconut, and Mango, while others are adjusting fully to Fall and choose Pumpkin Seeds, Hazelnuts, Walnuts, and Sunflower Seeds in their gluten-free cereal.

In any case, we saw some amazingly creative names that you gave your custom cereal creations. As it has become a good tradition here at Custom Choice Cereal we’d like to recognize a few of them, so here you go:

5. Sunny Fruit (One of the “tropical” choices.)
4. Fruity and Nutty Goodness (Goodness it was!)
3. my crazy nuts (…)
2. Liberals (Fruits, Nuts Flakes)
1. And our winner for this week is Red, White, Blue (mix ID 31e70f)

The winner’s name was truly reflected in the cereal because they added red Goji Berries, white Organic Coconut Chips, and Organic Wild Blueberries to their cereal. Thank you for another great week and have a wonderful weekend!

Since you are amazingly creative in coming up with great names for your custom cereal creations, we at Custom Choice Cereal figured we can at least recognize your naming-skills.

Knowing that each cereal you mix and enjoy exactly matches your individual taste preferences is a great satisfaction. Reading your names is great fun. Here are this week’s winners!

5. Marlene’s First (More to come…)
4. Fall Is Here! (True dat.)
3. Your Are Yummy! (Also very true.)
2. This exists?! Awesome!! (Thanks. We think so too!)
1. And our winner for this week is Cinnamon Fruity Tooties (mix ID 502008)

Be inspired for your next mixing session and have a wonderful weekend!

We at Custom Choice Cereal want to bring the greatest variety and best taste to your gluten-free cereal bowl. But since tastes are as individual as you are, we let you control what ingredients you add to your personal blend.

Part of the gluten-free experience is giving your cereal a name. It is great fun for us to see how creative you are, and we like to honor your creativity by recognizing the (subjectively selected) most creative names. Here they are!

5. Strawberry flake fun (strawberries are always fun!)
4. Healthy Mix (they all are! And they also taste great!)
3. Cherry Berry Bites (also a great snack…)
2. Delish Fall Mix (yepp, we’re getting there)
