I eat muesli most days for my breakfast and usually buy Jordan's fruit and nut muesli but as it is quite pricey I decided to try Sainsbury's basic version as it is more than £2.00 cheaper and you get more in a pack too.

At just £1.18 for a 1 kilogram bag this is so cheap that I was wondering if it was worth trying however after a quick look at the ingredients I decided to as the ingredients seemed pretty good - quite basic but everything you'd expect to be in muesli.

The thick plastic pack that the muesli comes in is white and orange which is the usual Sainsbury's basics colour scheme. The pack has the product, brand name and a basic picture of a bowl of muesli on the front and the back has information such as the nutritional values and ingredients. The bag needs cutting open and is not re-sealable so I transferred the muesi into an air tight storage jar to keep it nice and fresh.

The muesli is very fine rather than chunky which is not too much of an issue, but it is quite dusty which I found kind of odd and when I put some into a bowl I can see tiny dust-like parcticles. The muesli has what tastes like cheap mushed up bran flakes in it and a few raisins here and there which are glazed in sunflower oil - kind of defeats the point of having fruit in it really.

Sainsbury's claim that there are chopped hazelnuts in this but I am not able to see or taste them and the main flavours are the oat flakes and wheat flakes. The texture isn't very chunky and after adding my soy milk it becomes soggy very quickly. The smell isn't that nice either and bizzarely enough it has a faint cardboard smell which is off putting. I don't find it at all tasty or enjoyable nor do I find it as filling as the brand of muesli that I usually buy.

I don't recommend this muesli and I will not be re-purchasing it, I would rather pay more for a tasty and good quality muesli. On a plus side it only has 178 calories per 50g serving, but it isn't very tasty or filling so it's kind of a waste of calories!
