Grape nuts cereal - Healthy Extra?

[dudette2001uk]

Hi there,

Does anybody happen to know whether Grape Nuts cereal can be used as a healthy extra B? I think the brand is called Post. I hope they can be as I love them! They're supposed to be high in fibre and low in fat, so fingers crossed xx

hi Sian, i had a quick look at the healthy extra's online, and i couldnt see it on there

 

[dudette2001uk]

Thanks for looking hun. Oh well, I may syn them occasionally in that case as they're really nice and very filling xx

I love grape nuts! They're so random but my dad used to always buy them when we were little- "stays crunchy in milk"! Once our local Tesco stopped selling them so my dad wrote a letter of complaint!

 

[dudette2001uk]

Lol! Well I had to hunt two tescos and an asda to find them! They definitely give the jaw a good workout in the morning, lol! xx

The handbook says that 28g Grape-Nuts cereal counts as a heb (they're under Kraft rather than Post as the brand; Kraft own Post now). I love grape nuts as well!

Woooooooo! Thanks hun! You've made my day! xx

Fab news - I absolutely love grape nuts, mmmm!!!!

 

[julesm]

I'm totally buying some!!! Is it 28g+ a scan bran?

 

[who_la_hoop]

Nope, no scan bran, just the grape nuts alone - they must be full of fibre! They certainly need some chewing

I'll have to seek out a box myself now I've remembered about them, hurrah!

I've never heard of them - what are they most like? I have discovered a new love for breakfast cereals with a mullerlight and fruit, so I'm on the lookout for new additions!

 

[dudette2001uk]

It's hard to describe what they're like! They're a wheat and malted barley cereal, and I definitely can taste the malt. But I love that so all is good I think they'd be very nice with mullerlight and fruit as they're very crunchy, so a bit more like a muesli addition to yoghurt xx

 

[cherry-pie]

They'd be really good sprinkled on yogurt - almost like a granola substitute (but without the hefty granola syns!)

I had some today for the first time. I had mine with sweetener, milk and sliced banana. After stirring , the banana was coated with this lovely crunchy taste! Just wished I could have more than 28g :-(

I also love cereal. So I have in my cupboard - Weetabix, Oatibix minis, Weetabix crunchy bran , shreddies, high fibre alpen, all bran, special K sustain and grapenuts. My faves are the 42g ones lol
