Cereal Nut!!

Advantages: Wide variety, fairly cheap, versatile, availability
Disadvantages: Some not so pleasant, sugar, some nutrition

...to snacking mid-morning, usually consuming more calories than would have been in your breakfast. I never used to be a real breakfast person, and the thought of food in the morning made me feel very sick! However in the past few months, I have been getting forced to eat a large breakfast, and I now realise I do infact have a lot more energy, and although I also snack mid-morning, the first part of my morning is full of energy and I have a lot more concentration! When I was little and I did enjoy breakfast, part of breakfast in our house along with our toast was a big bowl of cereal! When I was little however, these cereals were usually sugar-laden and chocolate! I also used to quite enjoy eating cereal dry, without milk, espescially if it was something sweet and sugary like Frosties or Golden Nuggetts. Now however I much prefer...

Advantages: : Healthy and nutritios
Disadvantages: None

...I am sure that youhave all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. This is true and even more so if you are trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy life style.Skipping breakfast can mean your body will start to crave something sweet and you'll end up snacking on unhealthy foods.

A Fruity Breakfast

Advantages: Very healthy; lots of dried fruit
Disadvantages: Normally expensive; not many cherries

...It's been a long time since I had muesli for breakfast but I had occasionally enjoyed Dorset Cereals' Fruity Porridge during the winter. Waitrose currently has their whole range of cereals and cereal bars at half price, so this seemed like an opportunity not to be missed. I picked up a box of the Berries and Cherries variety; it comes in a purple box with cut-out leaf shapes on the front that give you a peek at what you're getting in the inner cellophane packet. The box indicates that the contents are fifty per cent fruit, but the name of this cereal is perhaps slightly misleading. The greater part of the fruit is actually made up of raisins, sultanas and chilean flame raisins. The dried cranberries, blueberries, cherries, blackcurrants and raspberries are each present in very small amounts (between 0.5% and 1.5%). The cereals include...

Review of Dorset Cereals Berries and Cherries

My favourite breakfast cereal

Advantages: Tasty, traditional breakfast
Disadvantages: Can get boring after a while

...Shreddies have been a favourite breakfast cereal of mine for years. They were first launched in the UK in 1953 so I can well understand why I think they have been around forever. Shreddies are made by Nestle and when they first came on to the market they made a pleasant change from cornflakes or porridge which were the only other products I can remember being around. Shreddies are little square shaped cereal comprising overlapping grids of malted wheat. I have always liked malted products which I guess is what draws me to this product. They are a whole grain cereal described as a "Whole Wheat Malted Cereal" with the ingredients listed as: Whole Grain Cereal Grains: Whole Grain Wheat (93%), Sugar, Barley Malt Extract, Salt plus a whole range of Vitamins and Minerals: Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6, Thiamin (B1...

Review of Nestle Shreddies

A cereal model

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...the information on the box is written in larger than normal writng, making it easy to read. The pack I bought had a competition to win 10,000 traditional gardening sets, no high tech prizes from Dorset! This continues the good life theme Dorset is trying to portray. The product. *********** The flakes of this cereal are small and they look very similar in and colour to cornflakes but smaller. There are plenty of grape and fig pieces to see and this impressed me! The cereal tasted light as promised and was not too sweet. The cereal had a nice crunch. The fruit was good and there was plenty of it too. I did however taste salt, something that I didn't find pleasant. I usually eat porridge for breakfast with no sugar or salt added so I guess my taste buds are not used to the addition of salt! Overall I liked the cereal but can't it was wonderful...

Review of Dorset Cereals Naturally Light Flakes with Figs & Grapes

Simple and tasty breakfast cereal

Advantages: High in fibre
Disadvantages: None

...Quaker Exotic Fruit and Fruit and Nut Muesli Quaker oats have recently introduced 4 new varieties of Muesli. I am writing about two of them here which I have tried and liked. I thought it would be really a waste to write 2 reviews on 2 varieties, so I have made a two-in-one review! Trust its ok with you Ciao friends. I personally like and extensively use Muesli as a breakfast cereal. Whole-grains provide package of nutritional benefits, including a good source of insoluble fibre, which can help to maintain a healthy digestive system. Diets rich in whole-grains have beneficial effects including a healthy heart ! People are eating more wholegrain foods as part of a healthy lifestyle. Oats are a super grain - they have all the goodness of other whole-grains plus extra benefits. Oats are the only wholegrain recognised to actively...

Healthy Cereal Bars???

Advantages: Less than 70 calories
Disadvantages: No good if you're lactose/gluten/soya intolerant

...Whilst perusing the aisles in Asda at weekend I came across these Alpen Light cereal bars on a "2 boxes for £2.50" special offer (they usually retail at around £1.80 per box) so purely for the benefit of Ciao members I popped a couple of boxes in my trolley and skipped off to the checkout. (I would normally buy Special K bars.) >>>Background<<< Alpen cereal bars are made by Weetabix, purveyors of fine cereals like Weetabix, Weetos, Ready Brek and Alpen (to name but a few). To add to their Alpen range, Weetabix have launched Alpen Cereal bars, which are a moist and chewy combination of crispy rice & wheat flakes, some of which are dipped in chocolate or a yoghurt coating and come in the following flavours: * Fruit & Nut * Fruit & Nut with chocolate * Apple & Blackberry * Strawberry & Yoghurt * Raspberry & Yoghurt They...

Review of Alpen Cereal Bar

Simple and Satisfying Cereal!

Advantages: Variable, delicious, suits all
Disadvantages: none

...It can be hard to find a breakfast cereal that is suited to the whole family, which can cause great problems for the morning meal! Though, with close inspection, Weetabix seems to tick all the right boxes? *****Brief History***** It was two South Africans who introduced the Weetabix products to us in the UK all those years ago in 1932! From then, not only have we as a nation enjoyed the glorious brand, but it had also marketed throughout the US and Canada too, and is now available in over eighty countries worldwide! And they do not only provide us with one type of cereal, but offer a wide selection of different Weetabix products! *****General Weetabix***** Nutritional Information per serving (37.5g) - 2 weetabix? 127 calories 4.3g protein 25.7g carbohydrates (1.7g sugars) 0.8g fat 3.8g fibre Weetabix can look...

Brats For Breakfast?

Advantages: Great Cast, Iconic, Funny and Emotional, Mad Dance Scene
Disadvantages: Takes It's Self Maybe Too Serious

...For some mad, insane reason, god is telling me to watch all the old 80?s teen film. I say this, because everywhere I go, I see videos or DVD?s of these classics. This means that I have brought St Elmo?s Fire, Pretty in Pink, Weird Science and this in the short space of 2 weeks. I am slightly too young to remember the whole brat pack thing as it happened, so I roped my mum in to watch them with me. The Breakfast Club is about five stereotypes (the jock, the rebel, the artistic freak, the geek and the prom queen) who each have to endure an eight hour Saturday detention which each other. As you would imagine from their roles in school life, they all hate each other. Bender the rebel likes nothing more than to wind up the two popular members of the group, and they in return go out of their way to make him feel uncomfortable. Ally is...

Review of The Breakfast Club (DVD)

A special breakfast - a special book!

Advantages: great read
Disadvantages: none

...cereal. The children go along with her and Summer pronounces that her's tastes of marshmallows - hence the title! The breakfast theme runs throughout the book, with every few chapters sectioned off under something else that you might have for breakfast. I have to admit that I wasn't sure of the significance of all these! Overall though this is an excellent book which I enjoyed from the first page. It was an emotional read and a book that made you think, but overall it is a very uplifting book and really celebrates the love and joy that young children can bring into your lives - even if they are not your own! The book is published by Sphere, nd my paperback version with 440 pages, has a RRP of £6.99....
