[me] and goji Organic cereal is a cereal made by you, for you.

[me] and goji is a unique company that allows you to make your own custom, healthy cereal with all of your favorite mix ins.  You visit the site, pick your cereal base and mix ins, name it and they ship it to you.  It even comes with nutrition information for your specific mix.

THE BASES INCLUDE:

Raw 5-grain muesli

Healthy hoops

goji oats

golden granola

…and many more

YOU THEN HAVE YOUR OWN CHOICE OF FRUIT:

blueberries

banana

cranberries

goji berries

coconut

strawberries

…and many more

You then choose nuts and seeds including:

chia seeds

macadamia nuts

flax seeds

pine nuts

…and many more

The pricing is pretty simple: you pay for your base, around $4-$5 depending on your choice, then goes up with each mix in.  While it might seem slightly expensive, you receive 21 ounces of cereal or more, far more than in a regular box of store bought cereal, and have access to healthy ingredients you can never find in stores, such as  mulberries, Brazil nuts, pistachios and soy nuts.

If decisions aren’t your thing, you can check out the recommendations page, with popular, delicious and healthy mixes already picked out for you to choose from.  There are also gluten-free mixes for those with an intolerance or Celiac disease and functional mixes specifically designed to provide additional nutrients to your diet.

The cereal is shipped to you cute little capsule, with your custom name and nutrition information slapped right on the side.

The taste is great, but of course it depends on your choices.  My custom mix I made (I didn’t name it, I wasn’t feeling very creative) included chia and flax seeds which all settled to the bottom.  My last bowl out of the capsule looked like bird seed, and tasted much the same.  If you aren’t afraid of breakage, I would recommend shaking it up to evenly distribute the ingredients.

This is the greatest fusion of taste and health from a cereal I’ve ever experienced.  I’m a huge cereal lover, I even have it for dinner on a pretty regular basis, and finding something that is healthy, convenient and delicious is pretty hard to come by.  [me] & goji is a website to add to your grocery list.
