My favourite one is the Honey and Nut one, I not only had it for breakfast but sometimes as a late evening snack, I found it wasn’t too sweet but very moreish and sometimes found that when I had time I ended up having two bowls for breakfast. I don’t eat the healthiest of diets so knowing that it has seven different wholegrains in one spoonful I knew it would be doing me some good. I was not too sure on the apple and cinnamon one as I am not a great lover of cinnamon but was pleasantly surprised. I also found that after eating just one bowl it would keep me going and found I wasn’t snacking as much as I usually did after my normal bowl of cereal.

Rude Health cereal with 7 grains (Wheat, rice, barley, spelt, rye, oats, buckwheat), it is high in fibre, with no refined sugars and no added salt. The boxes are all recyclable and the packaging inside is a foil, to keep the contents fresh.
We tried two of the cereals and have to admit that as a family of four, none of us particularly enjoyed the Honey nut cereal, it tasted burnt in parts, and although it has nuts, honey and date syrup, it tasted pretty bland despite having milk on it. At 227kcal per 40g of cereal (+ milk) and 8.2g fat and at £2.99 per 500g box, it isn’t something that I would buy for my family breakfasts.
The apple and cinnamon cereal was by far the favourite, and with apple pieces and the scent of cinnamon, I have to admit, I was more inclined to eat this one, and even had a bowl of it dry as a snack. We tried it on yoghurt and on top of a crumble, and it was lovely and you could still taste the cinnamon flavour. Again, this is high in calories and fat content: 222kcal per 40g of cereal (+ milk) and 7g of fat but as it was so tasty, I would be quite happy to have it once or twice a week. It certainly went down well with the children, who actually ended up having it everyday until it was finished.
Rude Health Granolas are available from their website for £2.99 as well as at supermarkets
