Quaker Super Goodness Raspberry and Apple Granola, 400 g (Pack of 5)

I've bought this before and really like it. I have food sensitivities so this is great for me.

Good value for money

I'm trying to cut down the amount I eat and go a bit healthier, so I thought I'd give this a go.The first thing I had to do, however, is ignore the suggested portion size. On the rear of the packet, in the nutritional information section, it implies that one serving is a tiny 45g. After some experimentation, we've found that 60-65g is nearer the mark, being a large enough portion - with a splash of skimmed milk - to mean I don't feel the need to snack before lunchtime.As is the case with all these granola-type cereals, there is added sugar (and glucose syrup) that brings the sugar content up to 11%. The dietary fibre content is 7.4%, fat is 7% and the 45g serving would contain 179 calories (kcal).The price includes a premium for the Quaker brand name and I have eaten generic-brand granolas with a similar flavour, though I can't vouch for them having the same mix of ingredients.Overall, it makes a nice change from toast for breakfast, but isn't necessarily any healthier, despite the presence of a few trace minerals and the words "Super Goodness" and "Nutri Boost" being plastered all over the packaging.

Great flavoured breakfast

Taste without being overly sweet!

Great purchase.

I'm afraid this wasn't to my taste. I don't like the dried fruit in the mix - especially the apple - and the granola needs to soak in milk for a while to make it less hard and more edible. I found it something of an effort to consume a whole bowl and gave up - which I suppose reduced by breakfast calorie and sugar intake but not in the way I expected!I would try an individual pack before buying five in bulk to see if you like the taste. Not for me. Two stars.

I guess I take more care over what I eat these days and for sometime have been reading packets quite carefully! The good news here is that this seems to be a good granola. Just under 50% wholegrain oats and 27% barley is a good start. Add to this sugar of 11g per 100g which is low for most granolas and certainly "fruit" ones. I use the " " as you probably won't get excited about the fruit content! Dried apple is 2% and raspberry just 1%. Also be wary of packaging - in addition to the oats and barley the packet shows a spoon of quinoa. However that is only 1% of the contents.That said I've found this a very enjoyable granola. I like the texture of granolas however they do tend to be a bit sweet for me these days. This one is not. I would not have a bowl of it - I simply add a few spoon to some other cereal (including sprinkling it on plain porridge - nice). I would certainly recommend the Quaker granolas based on ingredients, texture and lack of sugars mostly.
