Ok it’s got raisins and dried fruits and nuts, all healthy. And it’s  got clusters of rolled oat granola which sounds healthy too. The end result is that it’s damn tasty, but this is one sugar-filled cereal! I don’t usually look at the ingredients or food values on the back of any foods I consume, but for research purposes I did in this case. 61g of carbs per 100g, of which 27g is sugar. This is nearly 50%. So the rolled oat granola must be rolled in a giant sugar bowl! And then rolled again. And then rolled one more time for good measure.

In order to try and strike a balance and make me feel better about consuming so much sugar, I’ve recently combined the Crunchy Nut granola with Shredded Wheat Bitesize. The back of the box tells me this one has 68.7g carbs per 100g of which 0.7g sugar resides. Instantly I feel better about things!

So each morning at my workstation, my bowl will be around 60% Bitesize and a 40% ‘drizzle’ of the yummy sweet oat granola on top. Trust me, it makes for a very tasty breakfast. Better still when washed down with a cup of tea! My tip is to pour the milk on the cereal and leave it to sit while making the tea, or coffee. By the time you’re back at your desk or breakfast table, the granola clusters and the wheat will both have softened slightly…leading to maximum taste factor! Be careful though…too much milk and the wheat will have turned too soggy by the time you get close to the bottom!

There’s a lot to be said for combining breakfast cereals, all in the name of tastiness. I think I’ve found the tastiest combination yet, so may not be experimenting again for a while! Crunchy Nut Glorious Oat Granola drizzled over Shredded Wheat Bitesize…give it a go!
