Weetabix Alpen Light Apple & Sultana

I went to Asda in search of some low-calorie cereal bars. I didn't really have any taste in mind, so it was going to make my search that little bit easier. As I browsed though, the majority of them had well over 100 calories, and although this may not seem like that much, the sugar content was really high! Then I noticed a range I had not come across before - Alpen Light. I'd heard of the normal variety, but not these ones! On the shelves, there was a choice of three flavours; Summer Fruits Apple And Sultana Chocolate And Orange After a little researching, I found out that these also come in a Citrus Fruits variety! I checked the calories, ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a great fan of cereal bars it has to be said but when I saw these in Farmfoods for just £1 I decided that I'd purchase a box for my daughters who love them. There were 5 individually wrapped bars in the box & it states that each one contains fewer than 70 calories. The box itself seems to promote the 'healthy-eating' aspect of the product with it's emphasis on 'light', the picture of a bar surrounded by fresh grapes & slice apple etc., However, when scrutinising the (very small) print describing the ingredients, alongside the healthy stuff there are also emulsifiers, starches, syrups, dioxides etc. Forgetting all that (!) I was ...  Read the complete review

As you will know if you read one of my earlier reviews - and if not why not? LOL! - I have recently tried Alpen Light Summer Fruits Bars as a snack to keep me going whilst I am working. I really enjoyed them and so I decided to see if there are any other flavours - the ones they had in Tesco's were chocolate or apple and sultana. I didn't fancy chocolate at all - it just didn't seem to fit in with the whole cereal bar thing to me so I decided to try the apple and sultana. They cost the same as the summer fruits flavour at £1.50 for a box containing six bars. The box is pretty much the same as the summer fruits one and is pale blue with ...  Read the complete review

Having had some bad experiences with Ryvita cereal bars, I'm back to my trusted Alpen Lights. It seems that Alpen is owned by Weetabix (hence the dooyoo title). Alpen Lights generally come in three flavours - Summer Fruits, Apple and Sultana, and Chocolate and Orange (some have said that there is a 4th, but I've never seen this. The selling point of Alpen Light Cereal Bars is that they have less than 70 calories in them, which is a lot less than your average cereal bars, so great for those attempting to lose weight like myself! Normally in our local Tesco they only sell the Summer Fruits ones which I like, but not as much as the Apple and Sultana ...  Read the complete review

This review is for Alpen light- apple and sultana cereal bars. On the front of the bar it has a picture of an apple slice and to me looks like a handfull of grapes. It also says that it's less than 70 calories. On the back it says that this is a prebiotic spicey mixed cereal bar with sultanas, apple and a yogurt drizzle. It also says that it's half the fat of a regular Alpen bar. Ingredients: cereals (39%) (wheat, oats, rice), prebiotic oligofructose (30%), sultanas (9%), sugar, humectant, glycerol, apple juice concentrate (27%), glucose syrup, dried apple (2%) (preservative: sulphur dioxide), vegetable oil, dextrose, wheat gluten, ...  Read the complete review
