Advantages: Flavour, Price, Fair amount of Fruit

Disadvantages: Not the healthiest snack

Muller as we have come to know it has been with us since 1980 when Muller Rice was first introduced over here. Now 28 years later (yes it has been that long) there are a ton of products in the range. The one I will be talking about here is Muller Fruit Corner Blueberry Yogurt.

The pack is the standard Muller corner pack that we all know and recognise, it weighs in at 175gr which is a bit bigger than standard pack yogurts that you get on the shelf. The lid is an easy peel back to reveal the contents, and yes I DO lick the lid. I have never found a packet to be messy to open, they have always opened with ease.

The smaller section contains the fruit which in this case is the Blueberries, which look strangely red and have a gelatinous, jam like look, the larger section contains the creamy yogurt.

There are several combinations on how to eat one of these things, I normally either take about half a spoon of fruit, then dip into the yogurt then eat or I transfer the entire fruit section to the yogurty goodness and then stir in turning the yogurt a delicious marbley mixture of creamy yogurt and the fruit. On this occasion I went with the full mixture.

The taste is moreish, the creamy yogurt swirls amount your mouth before the slight sharpness of the fruit kicks in with the occasional bite into a berry or two which bursts additional flavour into your mouth, it isn't long before the pot is empty unless you have immense will power and are able to resist scoffing it down.

The packaging is fully recyclable although I tend to use the washed, empty packages to make herb ice cubes, which basically is this. When you purchase fresh herbs from the supermarket, 9 times out of 10 you will have a bunch left over, so chopping them up fine you can freeze then in water (an ice cube) and then drop them in the saucepan when cooking recipes.

Muller states that there are No artificial colours, preservatives or sweeteners which is all good in the world of "E" numbers.

So there is a lot of sugar although I would imagine that it is mainly from the fruit, the calorie content seems a tad higher per 100gr than some standard yogurts, but as an occasional treat is perfect.
