Advantages: vitamins and minerals

Disadvantages: sugar

What are you going to have for breakfast? I usually have either toast or special k or bran flakes but have at times eaten other cereals. A breakfast cereal that I have eaten is Frosties, my daughter used to like these.
So sit down at the breakfast table with me to indulge in a bowlful of Frosties.

Frosties are available in a 500g, 750g, or 1 kg box. The box is easily recognised, as it is blue with the orange image of Tony the tiger holding a bowl of Frosties.
Frosties are also available in a reduced sugar form and a chocolate flavoured one. The price of Frosties at Tesco is £2.58p for 1kg of the standard Frosties.

Right lets open the box then the inner air free bag and pour the frosties into a bowl they pour out easily. Lots of fairly large flakes a golden colour encrusted with sugar they look attractive.

The frosties flakes are made from
Maize, Sugar, Barley Malt Flavouring, Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Glucose-Fructose Syrup,

So lots of goodness in them. But look at that sugar lots of it , that is one of the reasons I do not eat Frosties very often.

Anyway Frosties in your breakfast bowl add some milk. Frosties do not go soggy very quickly.

So how did they taste to you I thought they were a little malt not much flavour really a pleasant neutral taste for first thing in the morning but they were a little sweet for my liking a little too much sugar. In fact they taste v much like cornflakes with lots of added sugar. I have not tasted the reduced sugar ones so cannot comment on those.

If you have young children who cannot be tempted to eat breakfast try these they are a neutral flavour sweet and do have a reasonably good nutrient base apart from the sugar.
Frosties also make a breakfast bar for those who skip breakfasts at home.

On the Kellogg’s website there are games with Tony the tiger and recipes for using with frosties similar to the chocolate crispies we make with cornflakes.

So do you think Frosties are GRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT ?
