Shreddies

We had French lessons at my primary school and these were led by an eccentric French Lady, Madame B_. I really loved her lessons because she was madly enthusiastic and, if you answered one of her questions right, she would plunge her hand into a big box of Shreddies and pull out a handful and give them to you. I adored being able to munch the dry Shreddies and was desperate to answer the questions right. I think, therefore, that I have a sort of Pavlovs' dog thing going on with Shreddies; Shreddies will always be a kind of reward! Packaging ------------- It is clear that Shreddies have been going strong a long time. Also, that ...  Read the complete review

Shreddies have been around for years but I have to confess that I only tried them for the first time a couple of months ago. I have been buying them for my girls for sometime and they both seem to really enjoy them. They go through real phases with the cereals they want to eat, they tend to eat one for weeks and then suddenly claim that they don't like it anymore. I always have a box of Shreddies in the cupboard though and they have become my trusty fall back. They were great when my youngest daughter was just getting to grips with feeding herself, she seemed to manage to get one on her spoon and if all else failed, she could just use her ...  Read the complete review

As anyone who regularly reads my reviews will know I almost always have the Tesco brand version of Weetabix for breakfast usually with some fresh fruit on it - a banana or peach for example. There are one or two others that I like as well and occasionally have a treat. One such cereal is Nestle Shreddies. These are one of the few things that I do like to eat with a sprinkling of sugar so, being a diabetic, these have to be a rare treat for me. I am currently indulging in a box at the moment as Dave and I have had bad colds and I am feeling a bit sorry for myself so I thought a nice treat would cheer me up!

In bed with a terribly sore throat (I'm not having much luck medically this month, rather annoying as work are offering £50 to anyone who doesn't miss a day through illness during September) I've decided to treat myself to some cereal. Shreddies we're the only little box we had left after we'd feasted on the others as a snack during the day time, so it's a crushed sounding 45g of Shreddies I have. Due to not wanting to make a mess (that's my excuse and I'll stand by it) I'm going to have them dry (so if it is laryngitis or swollen glands or whatever...I'm not doing myself any favours). Shreddies, as we all know by now are made by Grannies with sawing machines ...  Read the complete review

I've always overlooked Shreddies somewhat, as they've always struck me as a fairly boring cereal. But, the other half loves them and buys them whenever they're on offer (often £2 for a 750g in Somerfield), and so I do end up eating them. Healthwise first - Shreddies are a fairly good choice for a healthy breakfast, as they're wholegrain and low in fat, filling you up well from one bowl. However, I was surprised one morning when comparing the nutrition information bars on two cereal packs that Shreddies actually contain more sugar than Honey Nut Cornflakes - and I used to add sugar to Shreddies! I guess this added sugar makes the squares taste nice, sweet and ...  Read the complete review
