A few months back i recall seeing a new array of items in the breakfast cereals aile. Among one of those was the Fresh & Easy Hearty Fruit + Nut Muesli. First you might be wondering what the heck is muesli, I know for a fact those words more or less ran through my mind. I have now gotten around to trying this cereal which is in a category of its own. It’s basically a blend of rolled oats, wheat, raisins, dried cranberries, dates, almonds and blueberries, with molasses and cinnamon for added sweetness…

Its a very raw type of cereal in fact, which at some point I plan to experiment with and try to ‘cook’ it if you will, to make it nice and hearty. Anyhow, the muesli tasted very raw and oaty (like rolled oats :-P) the dried fruit certainly added to the sweetness of the molasses and cinnamon. I would highly recommend this although I found the package to feel small it is almost the same in terms of weight as what you might get with another cereal. I enjoyed it several serving with and without milk.

Coming in at 16oz with about 8 servings per box at 180 calories a serving. It does not make such a bad treat for people watching their diet. To read up on some history on Muesli here are some useful links, that I have read myself. Also, you can make some muesli at home! You would have quite a bit more control over substance! One of these links also make the comparison that muesli is raw granola, differing only that one is raw, while the other is baked.

In my opinion, the cranberry almond crunch cereal is very tasty!! Is a low calorie cereal; Only 210 calories per serving. It contains 4g of total fat, and no cholesterol at all; so if you prefer to eat healthy, this is the cereal you should definitively try.

It is also low in sugar content, but it does not mean you will be having an insipid meal. The almonds and granola clusters add the sweet taste to it. The dried cranberries provide the fruity/sourish taste.

Its crunchy. I really enjoy it soggy. I’m kind of picky when it comes to cereals; I give this cereal a 9 out of 10 in quality and flavor. Worth trying it…really!!!

Unlike most cereals, it contains no artificial preservatives flavors or colors…it natural. Oh!! one more good thing about it; its box is made out of 100%

recycled cardboard.
