Advantages: full of fruit and nuts

Disadvantages: not for people with nut allergies.

I first tried Jordans fruity fibre muesli when I recieved a free sample from another site, and must say I really enjoyed it.

The packaging is quite simple with orange and white colouring with Jordans branding at the top and the flavour underneath, then a picture of the cereal at the bottom and details of what is included in the muesli.

When you pour these into your bowl they seem coated in a white powder and then when you add the milk the contents seem to come alive and look brighter and more appealing although the milk gets soaked up quickly, you can also see lots of the fruit and nuts included with the muesli and it looks fairly tasty as far as muesli goes.

As for the taste, well I was pleasantly surprised, It has a smokey taste and then you get bursts of fruit which come from the raisins and then the nutty flavours from the brazil nuts, and each spoonfull gave something different. I did find I needed to add a little sugar, as I liked it a bit sweeter but that is just personal choice.

There are also a lot of different textures, you get the softness from the oats and rye, and then chewiness from the fruit and then a nice crunchy texture from the nuts, I love the variety from these and the bursts of flavours, they kept me waiting for the next helping.

Now after eating my free sample I have bought a pack to eat at my leisure as I enjoyed them so much. I found there are lots of different flavours to try and so I went for fruit and nut from ASDA which costs me £2.50, which is a little highly priced, but you do not need loads of these in one portion so therefor will last you quite a while.

The contents of fruity fibre are:
barley flakes, oat flakes, toasted rye, dried fruit, nuts and seeds, raisins, chopped dates, chopped brazil nuts, diced apple, apple juice concentrate, diced apricot, pumpkin seeds, wheat flakes, coconut chips, sugar, barley malt.

A 50g pack will set you back 219 calories and contain no artificial flavourings, preservatives and colourings and also no salt is added. The cereal is high in fibre.

Not suitable for nut allergy sufferers.

I really like this muesli and will enjoy trying all the different varieties that Jordans make. It provides a healthy start to my day and helps me to reach my 5 a day without to much effort.

Summary: A lovely cereal.
