Kellogg's Special K Purple Berries

Following a recent health scare, I decided that I had to examine my general lifestyle - after all with the dreaded three-oh knocking on the door, there is no time like the present to try to lose some weight and in so doing perhaps to help my blood pressure by losing weight. I used to always be a cereal for breakfast person, but since moving to Austria had moved over to a continental breakfast with ham and cheese. Not any more – I now have a bowl of Special K before I go into work, and instead of the previous post-work snack (which was certainly more calorific than a bowl of Special K - say some Pringles (the average 50g of Pringles (about a quarter of a tube) ...  Read the complete review

Special K have come up trumps here, although Special K on it's own is very nice the addition of the berries gives it a bit of a bite.
