General Mills is preparing for spring with two tasty new takes on one of its most famous cereals: Frosted Lemon Cheerios and Cheerios Oat Crunch Berry.
Both lemon and berry are classic spring flavors and now you can enjoy them as soon as you start your day. The new Frosted Lemon Cheerios consists of tiny frosted oats cereal pieces with a hint of tangy lemon flavor. On the other hand, the new Cheerios Oat Crunch Berry consists of crunchy multigrain cereal pieces made with whole grain oats, and flavored with a sweet blend of real raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries, and other natural flavors.
The new Frosted Lemon Cheerios and Cheerios Oat Crunch Berry join other seasonal varieties such as Pumpkin Spice Cheerios and Chocolate Strawberry Cheerios.
