Without many words we’d like to share a video review of our custom gluten-free cereal with you. Janae Chang, author of the blog Pink Dandy Chatter, says that she “highly recommends this cereal to anyone”. We couldn’t agree more and suggest you go ahead and create your perfect cereal blend!
After a fun weekend at the Hillsborough Farmers Market we had at Custom Choice Cereal are having a great start into the new week. Hopefully you were able to begin your Monday on the right foot as well!
First of all we received several emails thanking us for making gluten-free living an enjoyable and fun experience again. One of our fellow ‘cerealizers’ wrote: “I have been GF for about three years… Almost all the cereals on the market are horrible! Thanks for starting this company.” Thank YOU for taking the time to email us – your feedback is our best motivator and helps us serve you better!
Secondly, our custom gluten-free cereal received another outstanding review on Simply Life, a pretty awesome food blog. It’s author starts out by capturing pretty much what Custom Choice Cereal is all about
“I also know that a lot of people who need to eat gluten-free foods have a more difficult time finding a cereal they can eat (this makes me very sad). Well guess what? I’ve found the perfect breakfast solution!…Custom Choice Cereal!”
The best part is that we teamed up with Simply Life to give a lucky winner the chance to create their very own gluten-free cereal. Check it out and enter the giveaway to win your perfect breakfast mix!
Every day at Custom Choice Cereal is different, and some are clearly better than others. But hey, that’s entrepreneurship – much easier on paper than in reality! Those of you who have started their own business know however that the highs make up for the troughs a thousand times over.
And a simple word of appreciation can make a “high”. That’s why I am excited that Diane reviewed the gluten-free cereal that she created on her blog Turning the Clock Back through our “amazingly simple” ordering process. She knows first hand how challenging a gluten-free diet can be because her mother-in-law has celiac disease and Diane hast to stock up on gluten-free food whenever she visits. Her feedback on Custom Choice Cereal couldn’t be any better:
“I chose a tasty combination of raisins, pears, pineapple, flaked coconut, and almonds in a granola base. I really enjoyed the flavors and there was a wonderful hint of Cinnamon and a light sweetness to it as well. Overall, a great combination but if you have other ingredients you would rather put in, go ahead! The great thing about this cereal is that you design it the way YOU want it!”
It’s all about the experience! Tastes are different, and because nobody knows what your like as much as you do, we put YOU in control! Enter the giveaway that we offer in cooperation with Diane for your chance to win your personal gluten-free cereal. If you can’t wait (which I can sympathize with) you can also go ahead and cerealize your gluten-free breakfast now!
It is just a little thing, but I truly makes my day when people who cerealized their gluten-free breakfast and tell me how much they enjoyed the experience. At the end of the day, that’s what Custom Choice Cereal is all about!
Nutritionist and soon-to-be-dietitian Amanda (does it get more qualified than that??) reviewed the cereal she created on her blog The Nutritionist Reviews, and for her it is “pretty much a dream come true”. She goes on by saying
“Oh, you want to know how it tastes? Well, it tastes great. The flakes have a pretty mild flavor but the fruit and nuts make it loaded with flavor. I like the contrast between the crunch of the flakes and the chew of the fruit. I would HIGHLY recommend this cereal to anyone, even people without a gluten sensitivity. Thanks Custom Choice Cereal for the awesome breakfast treat!”
Isn’t that cool? If you decide to create your perfect healthy cereal with your favorite ingredients, please don’t forget to let me know your feedback!
Pam, the blogger behind The Thrifty Things, writes that she wants her kids
“to start the day off with a healthy breakfast. It’s much harder when dealing with allergies or picky eaters. Luckily, I found a choice that will appeal to everyone – Custom Choice Cereal.”
She made her personal gluten-free cereal and thought it was delicious. Hey, we’re just fulfilling what you tell us to, so all the honor is Pam’s! If you enter the giveaway on her blog, you might win and have a chance to create you own cereal.
Part of the experience of ordering food online is obviously fast delivery of your gluten-free cereal concoctions. Pam wrote about the order process and shipping that
“the mixing process was quick and easy. I had the whole order completed in under five minutes. [...] The shipping process was incredibly fast. I received my custom made and labeled cereal in two days.”
Feedback like this makes us really happy. But Pam was able to top this with her final sentence, because it showed us how what we do actually makes her life easier:
“For a mom who has children with allergies, this cereal has made breakfast preparation at my house much easier!”
Our fellow gluten-free foodie Tiffany Janes can be regarded as one of the most active gluten-free advocates out there. In addition to consulting gluten-free food companies and restaurants, she writes her own blog Gluten-free Atlanta and is a constant presence on celiac-disease.com.
After several requests, Tiffany decided to write a list of her Top 25 Favorite Gluten-free Things. We are super excited that our customizable gluten-free cereal creations made the list! Only few people know the gluten-free space as well as Tiffany does, and her approval mean a lot to us!
You should definitely check out Tiffany’s list because it will help you tremendously, both in the transition to a gluten-free lifestyle or by pointing out a few items you might not have heard about before.
You know that it is our passion to bring freedom to the gluten-free cereal bowl by putting you in control and letting you create your personal gluten-free cereal. But we couldn’t realize our entrepreneurial dream and live this passion if it wasn’t for you and your encouraging words and reviews!
That’s why were are excited that The Cartoon Lovin’ Momma “just had to give Custom Choice Cereal a try to make our perfect cereal!” And so she did!
While Stephanie really flattered us by writing that “the [mixing] process is very easy and quick!” and “the shipping process was lighting fast!”, her bottom line is simply awesome:
“We are very pleased with our experience creating our custom cereal and the taste was amazing the flavors really blended together nicely and includes all of our favorite ingredients! We really enjoy getting to eat our very own custom cereal and will be ordering more in the very near future we are running pretty low.”
Stephanie’s review is combined with a chance to win your personal gluten-free cereal. If you can’t wait that long you can simple go ahead and cerealize Your Gluten Freedom right now!
The author of the blog Mon Cheri created her personal gluten-free cereal together with her 8-year-old and thinks that Custom Choice Cereal’s is “Cool for School”! We agree and therefore offer one lucky winner the chance to win their own gluten-free cereal. Mon Cheri writes
“12 whole ounces of hand-selected goodies mixed into a medley of organic corn flakes, all made without gluten! You’ve got to try this! Eating a handful here and there is totally guilt-free and packed with nutrients! It even tallies up the nutritional facts for you!”
We feel pretty honored by this review, especially since Mon Cheri also describes the whole ordering process as “pretty charming” and goes on to say
“All you have to do is put your order in, and have it shipped right to you! It’s pretty neat I loved seeing my name on my cereal, as silly as that sounds!! I chose all the ingredients along with my 8-year-old and when the package came he was so proud of his creation!!!”
You can get the same feeling by entering the giveaway or by simply creating your own gluten-free cereal concoction now!

That’s what Brit did. She is intolerant to gluten and recently discovered that there are a few gluten-free cereals out there. But read for yourself what she writes on her blog about Custom Choice Cereal:
“… a few cereals are gluten free, but they were either too sugary for me or they tasted like, um, nothing. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some sugary cereal, but it has it’s time and place (and that’s not everyday). A few weeks ago, I heard about Custom Choice Cereal and just had to try it. They sent me a few mixes (of my choosing!) and I fell in love.
The process is pretty simple. You choose the base of your cereal and then you add ingredients (all dried fruits and nuts). The end result is gluten free, ridiculously yummy (Matt had no idea they were gluten free until I told him), oh and healthy, too!“
I think it doesn’t get any better than that! Then I saw the pictures she took of her cereal concoctions: they are absolutely amazing and made me immediately want to pour a bowl of gluten-free cereal. Fortunately, I always have quite a few mixes at hand… 
Brit raves on about the “awesome pears” and “fantastic apricots” but her conclusion says it best:
“I did try some new things (which I fully encourage, you’ll never know until you try it!). I’m excited about finding a cereal that is positively gluten free and absolutely tasty.“
This is our mission at Custom Choice Cereal, and it makes us proud every time we hear someone telling us that we succeed at it!
Ann writes the blog Healthy Tasty Chow, and the funny story about her is that her husband actually had stomach issues when she became pregnant. After a quick test they soon found out that among other food allergies he is mildly allergic to wheat.
Custom Choice Cereal’s cereal creations made from all gluten-free ingredients are therefore the perfect treat for him. As we have pointed out before, gluten-free is also wheat-free and thus safe for Ann’s husband. Funny enough, it was Ann who actually sampled our cereal since it provided a much welcomed opportunity to procrastinate a little before cleaning the kitchen
“I pour myself a nice little bowl of my custom cereal. And then another bowl. And now I’m eating it dry out of the bag. Is it that good or am I just hungry? A little of both I think. [...] A friend of mine, Megan, has celiac disease and so I decided to give her half of the bag to try out for herself. She said that she loved the flakes, they held their texture in milk significantly better than other gluten free flake cereals she has tried. Like me, she loved the added ingredients…”
Thanks a lot, Ann, receiving such a great feedback is the best encouragement for us at Custom Choice Cereal. For Ann, the intuitive ordering process was big part of the overall fun in creating her personal gluten-free cereal:
“It’s really cool to make your own cereal and see the Nutrition Facts change with each item that you add/subtract. What was even cooler is that when I received my order in the mail, within the week, my nutrition facts were printed on the back with a complete ingredient list. It had an order number for easy re-ordering as well. I love love love this concept and hope it continues to flourish…”
