Advantages: tasty, healthy, great

Disadvantages: slightly expensive - damn!

I've never, ever liked cereal, or generally anything in a bowl. Or to be more accurate, I'd like them for a few days then I'd start dry puking every time I tried to eat a spoonful. So I snuck it in the bin as a child. Actually I've always been terrible with any kind of breakfast, it's just cereal and that sort has always been the worst.

I found toast and firmly stuck to it as the only breakfast food. Then I found myself with a voucher for Jordan's muesli...well, I couldn't pass it up, could I?

I bought this. Jordan's Natural Muesli. Aaagh, could it be any nicer?! Er, perhaps skipped a stage of storytelling there, but my goodness. This could not be nicer. At first I was like "errrr...." because I dared only have a handful in a bowl and was sickened to find it absorbing all the milk in seconds, and a sincere lack of raisins. I was sure I wouldn't like it ever. A few days later I had some sense and got a huge bowlful. SO NICE!

And it really doesn't sound it!

"Wholegrain cereal flakes with dried fruits and nuts."

...Right. Great. BUT IT REALLY IS. I thought I'd alternate between toast and muesli but now I'm on a complete muesli rampage with this packet. I have it every morning and it's so unbelievably amazing. I have it with a handful of rice krispies so as to give it a little crunch because otherwise I think it a little too soft, and also because I want to use up the rice krispies no one else will eat. There's the perfect amount of raisins to sweeten it and the flavour comes through awesomely. It's pretty much, er, chew chew chew...mmm! raisin!

And it's, as one would expect I suppose, very healthy! Let us look at the ingredients, dear reader!

British Conservation Grade Wholegrain Cereals (77%) (Wheat Flakes, Oat Flakes, Barley Flakes), Dried Fruit & Nuts (23%) (Sultanas, Raisins, Chopped Dates, Sliced Brazil Nuts, Roasted Hazelnuts).

I know every name on this list, happily. And what do we notice from this comprehensive list? yes, indeed...we notice:

* High fibre
* No artificial flavourings, colourings or preservatives
* Non GM
* No added sugar or salt
* Suitable for vegetarians

Alright! I actually feel like I'm getting a good breakfast now and it keeps me full well into the day with the 50g serving, which, by the by, contains 210 calories, 8.0g protein, 35.2 carbohydrates, 4.1g fat (1.5g saturates), 4.7g fibre and a measly 0.05 sodium.

I don't even think I like nuts, but they mix it in so well that I don't even notice and, arghhh, it's so tasty. It's slightly expensive all this, mind you. £1.78 is the cheapest price at Asda for a packet of 1kg. Well...still!

I am genuinely looking forward to breakfast tomorrow. It is on my mind all day.

P.S. As unbelievable as it may be, I do not work for Jordans.

Summary: It's that good!
