Review

Light and crunchy muesli-style cereal with a rich fruity taste of blackcurrant and made from a recipe that uses no wheat or gluten.

Pros

Sweet, berry flavoured, crunchy and yum. This product is made in New Zealand by the Vogel’s company. Contains at least 10% LSA, which is full of protein and healthy omega 3’s. Contains a variety of grains including rice,corn and buckwheat, as well as seeds, whole almonds and dried fruit. This really felt like I was having a treat for breakfast.

Cons

This is pretty sweet and 25% sugar - partially due to the dried fruit but also the added honey, sugar, and blackcurrant juice. I wouldn’t think it’s the healthiest breakfast product around, but really nice for an occasional treat.
It is produced in an environment that also produces gluten and wheat containing cereals, so if you have severe allergies - Beware.

Bottom Line

I will be buying this product again! Yum, yum, yum and yum. It looks indulgent and it is indulgent, but since most of us gluten free folk miss out on a lot of junk food by default, I think we deserve it.
