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.

Countdown seem to always have it. I buy the gluten free bread and cereal its all so fabulous. Another awesome product is Rempah curry sauces. I get it from Nosh or Farro specialty supermarkets. They are authentic sauces and taste just like the true butter chicken sauces etc. In the clear plastic pouches in the fridge! A MUST TRY!

I have tried the vogels berry one but prefer to stick to the Tropical one. It is just awesome. Very nice tasting and I have it with pineapple juice and banana for breakfast.
Would recommend them both.
