I am always looking for new breakfast or snack foods as these are my 2 favourite "meals" of the day. I have tried fruit loaves and things in the past, but never really made it to the end of one as they were too rich or sweet. When I saw this one from an old favourite, Warburtons, I had to give it a go. I paid around £1.20 for a 400g loaf from my nearest ASDA.

The slices are smaller than regular loaves, but each one is packed with a considerable amount of fruit. Each slice has 88 calories so some people might want to go easy on how much butter they put on the top!
I prefer mine toasted, on setting number 2 (no doubt something that varies for every toaster!). I either spread Clover or thin slices of mature cheddar onto it as soon as it's out of the toaster. That might sound weird but it tastes absolutely gorgeous!

The quality of the bread when toasted is good, it has a nice bite to it. There is always that worry with fruit bread that you are going to have some slices packed with fruit and some with the odd raisin, but each slice was packed with a reasonable number of raisins and they were all juicy and succulent. There is also a gorgeous zesty flavour of orange, not too overpowering but definitely there. It is tasty and very moreish; I don't even care about the calorie content if I'm in the mood for a few more pieces.

Despite the fact that it is high in calories for such small slices, I love 2 or 3 slices for breakfast. It also keeps me full for a surprisingly long amount of time, even though it is white bread. I can go 3-4 hours without feeling hungry and it does taste really, really good with mature cheddar sliced or grated on top of it! As part of a balanced diet, there really isn't any problem. There are around 9g of sugar per slice, so do go easy on it.....

I will definitely be buying it again, but not too frequently due to the sugar content. I do like to mix it up at breakfast time!
