Nutri Grain Pancakes!
April 2nd, 2007 by hungry waif
Eggo and nutrigrain teamed up to provide you with a healthier breakfast option besides waffles, they decided to go flat, or churn out pancakes. Ok here the deal, each serving consists of three fairly good sized waffles at 240 calories (or 80 calories each). Calorically they aren't too bad, but i was really expecting the fiber to at least win me over. but no, each pancake just has a mere 1 gram of fiber! I microwaved them and i might add they added a wonderful aroma which please my roomates. They come out super soft but they firm off slightly when you let them cool. I am normally not big on pancakes (now crepes i am CRAZY about though), but i actually really like these. they tastes heartier than your traditional pancake, and i hate to admit it, but it tasted way better than the homemade ones i've attempted. So its a winner in the taste category but nutri grain should add some grain (or fiber!).

Thanks for the review. What do you use for syrup?
If you're really in the mood for something pancake-ish, I'd recommend the Kashi GoLean Waffles. Particularly the blueberry.http://kashi.com/ourfood/GOLEAN/Waffles/Default.aspx85 calories a piece, 1.5g fat (no saturated), whole grains, 3g of fiber, very little sugar, and 4g of proteinWhat's not to love?!
the low fat ones have eveb less calories
Stop and Shop (east coast US) carries a very god SF maple syrup thats only 2 cals (which I dont even count) per 1/4 cup of syrup. It's called Howard's Sugar Free Maple Syrup.(in response to Krissy's Q, if she didnt want to use real syrup).Its not as good as real, of course, but its good.

I can make four or five big slices of french toast using whole grain bread for the same calories with way more fiber and protein.
Seriously, Jake? I would love your French toast recipe!
I make my own french toast using arnold's/orowheat light wheat bread (40 cals per slice with 3 grams of fiber per slice), with skim milk, egg beaters, nutmeg and cinnamon. I use Walden's sugar free syrup. its amoung their very few "hits" but its amazing.
thanks for reviewing these, i'm going to try finding them at the store :)
