Advantages: Reasonably Priced. Good Fruit Content. Nice Flavour Conbination. A Little Different.
Disadvantages: The Clusters Break Up In The Bag Over Time. More Fruit At The Bottom Of The Bag Than The Top
I'll start this review by saying that I HATE muesli! I'd rather starve than have that for breakfast or any other meal for that matter. On the other hand I do enjoy a dish or cereal for breakfast at the weekend or even before bed. One day while I was on the cereal isle this caught my eye.
Even though I detest muesli & wouldn't normally buy a cereal like this, I thought I would give it a try. This was mainly because it has tropical fruit inside & I like tropical fruits a lot, plus it it said that it had oat clusters. I like crunchy nut clusters so thought I might like it.
The cereal consits of Oat clusters & dried fruit, this being raisins, papaya, pineapple & banana. The bag contains 1kg which will give you 4-5 bowls & costs around £1.70 per bag.
The cereal is very nice. The oat clusters are crunchy & stay crunchy even while eating them. They are easy to eat not very sweet nice tasting & not too hard. All the fruit inside is very nice too & works well together. The pineapple & papaya are both soft, sweet & slighty chewy. The raisins are juicy & the dried banana flakes are crunchy too. There is a good bit of variety in here & the fruit acts as a good natural sweetener meaning you don't need to add sugar. Tjhere is also a decent amount of fruit in here too & you don't feel let down or dissapointed.
On the negative side, I would like to mention 2 things. The longer you have the packet for, the more the clusters break up & the smaller they get. Not a really bad thing but worth a mention, as is the fact that when you first open the packet, you don't seem to get much fruit in your bowl. It seems to sink to the bottom for some reason, because the last bowl always seems to have loads of fruit.
I would recommend the cereal to anyone who wants to try something a little more natural or eat a cereal with fruit in it. I'm not sure how healthy it actually is, but to be fair I'm not that bothered. I eat it because it tastes nice & I like it. A nice cereal & something different.
Summary: A good cereal to have if you want real fruit in your bowl or to try something new.
