Muesli 4.9/5

This product looks and sounds interesting. Unusual concept
using vegetables in a cereal, but one that sounds quite delicious actually. I
really like that its double-packed, an inner clear plastic bag and an outer
paper bag make for added freshness. There were no tips on how to recycle
though, so I assume the plastic cannot be. The look of the packaging is nice
enough, perhaps a little tweak, but certainly gives the impression of a
homemade product, and it stands apart from other mueslis by not being in the
regular box. It’s space efficient too, and easy to carry. The instructions are
perfectly adequate, good serving suggestions and a good amount of explanation
of ingredients. Interesting facts about what you are eating without being
boring. This is a very high quality product with an interesting and well
balanced combination of ingredients. When soaked in milk (for a short amount of
time) the result is a luxurious smooth cereal, not too sweet and certainly
satisfyingly filling. I personally enjoyed it with a few added raisins, but I
wouldn’t say it was necessary, just a little indulgent. Also the ginger for
me was too overpowering when eaten dry as a snack, but perfectly balanced with
the addition of milk. Initially it does seem quite expensive, but in comparison
with other similar brands I don’t think it is too much. The quality is far
superior to some of the better known brands out there. I would love to try the other flavours,  although at this price I think I will limit purchasing it to
special occasions or if ever I see it on offer. I would highly recommend it. I’m
completely addicted to it now! Chloe Cooper – Jesse 2 ½ Years

Muesli 4.9/5

I was expecting this to be normal breakfast cereal size
carton but it was much smaller. I immediately thought there was hardly any in
it but in fact weight wise it was 400g when most of the other cereals I have
are only 500g but just look larger as they have a lot more packaging. I really
like the packing on the muesli, it is paper decorated with pictures of beetroot
and look good quality. The inner is a lightweight plastic bag and as the outer
has a window cut in it you can see the muesli through the bag which is a great
idea. I like the fact that there is not a big bulky box; it would be easy to
keep in your drawer at work. The instructions were good; the usual add milk but
also add dry to the top of natural yoghurt. It was really good added to
yoghurt, like a kind of crunchy granola. Firstly it’s a British made product,
made in Dorset which I like. Secondly it states very clearly on the packaging
that’s it is Gluten and wheat free, no added salt or sugar, that’s it’s
naturally sweetened with raw agave nectar and loads of other notes that makes
it a good quality product. It also contains a high content, 22%, of raw
beetroot. It tastes nice and sweet and I’m really pleased that it is naturally
sweet and you don’t have to add sugar. The seed content of sunflower and
pumpkin is good, you can see them clearly in the bag and you can taste the
crunchy texture. The ginger is a little overpowering for my taste and lingers a
little after you have eaten it. It is fine with yoghurt but a little too much
with milk. I initially thought that it was a little expensive for such a small
bag but a little goes a long way. It is however more than most other products
in the market. I would like to be able to buy a 1kg bag. They only sell 400g and
4kg which are probably too large for 2 people. I would recommend it to others especially
any that are particularly health conscious. I have been very pleasantly
surprised by both the taste and quality of this product as I would not have
considered buying raw beetroot muesli before, now I definitely will. Amanda

Muesli 4/5

I am a fan of muesli and I thought this one looked nice. The
packaging is very attractive, not overly packaged. The quality is ok but for me
the Muesli was too powdery and the ginger too strong. Adding more crunchy
ingredients and making the ginger not as strong would make this taste a lot
better. I think it is very expensive for quite a small bag. I wouldn’t buy this
for me again because of the ginger taste but I would recommend it to others who
like ginger. The packaging is pretty, and I like the organic credentials, but
too expensive and not to my flavour. Amy Shipham – Bethany 5 Years
