Somewhere high above Earth, heavenly bodies are gambling with our breakfast. Once or twice a year, the Raisin Bran sun, with his soul-melting smile, rolls dice using his twin scoops of divine electromagnetic balance to determine what the next Kellogg’s Raisin Bran cereal flavor will be.

Apple Strawberry.
Bunch-less Bananas.
Cranberries.
Uh…Omega-3 Flaxseed?

It’s true that ol’ Helios’ has had a mixed bag of cereal success stories, with most RB & Co. variants failing to outshine the legacy of unadulterated Raisin Bran Crunch. But Kellogg’s latest round of raisin-ed roulette feels a lot safer—and more promising—than previous iterations. It’s Vanilla Almond, and its closest limited edition kin is probably 2012’s post-sleeper hit Cinnamon Almond Raisin Bran.

Granted, Vanilla Almond already has a leg up on Cinnamon Almond by the simple inclusion of Crunch. Since the cereal’s scattered with almond slivers, my guess is that the vanilla will be infused into the granola clusters, which would be a clever complement to the honey already binding the sweetly sticky oats within.

No word on exactly when this cereal will drop, nor when a higher resolution box render will be available. But until this scoopin’ cereal sharpens up its act, I’d recommend all ‘nanner fans stock up on Raisin Bran with Bananas, as it’s likely to be sunsetted to give rise to this new nutty dawn.
