Not the Original Formula No Sugar Version!:
Despite the box color and misleading labeling Muesli, don't be fooled as I was. This is not the same as the No Sugar version of the Original Formula with the muesli consistency that expands when soaked with milk or soymilk and which has the wonderful date pulp flavoring. This is a new hybrid muesli-flakes version that I have never seen for sale in stores especially created for American taste which is used to lots of flakes and raisins. Now I have to finish off six boxes before I can go back to Original Formula or No Sugar Original Formula.
This is not the real thing:
This is not the original Swiss Muesli that made this company famous and I've found that in a lot of the stores in this area this is now the only Familia Swiss Meusli available. In my opinion, what they've done is an attempt to make a less costly product ( for them that is} by adding large volume puffed type cereals to the mix. This makes for a lighter product , but with the same size box. The original box weighs 32 ounces, compared to 21 ounces for this new product. Unfortunately, this results in an inferior product, both in taste and nutrition. The real original product is still available in a red box , but I fear they might phase it out if they can get people to go for this cheap imitation.
Better than many cereals, not as good as others:
While I've enjoyed the old Burcher Muesli in the past, this is not the same product. Not as dense, but still pretty good. I have switched to Red Mills Muesli instead as it doesn't have as much fluff and no sugars.
The perfect food:
Back in the 60s and 70s I used to eat the sweetened version of Familia muesli -- now I don't tolerate sugar too well, and also my sweet tooth doesn't take as much to satisfy it as previously. This unsweetened version is perfect for me. It has lots of oats, as well as other grains and chopped nuts and dried fruit. I add some more stuff (walnut pieces, almonds, hazel nuts if I can get them, and raw cashews, along with extra raisins) and keep it in a plastic container. Usually for breakfast at work I will line a plastic container with plain yogurt, then put in a helping of Familia, then fresh fruit, maybe bananas, apples, or peaches, and maybe a little nutmeg or cinammon for variety. This is living! And it's excellent for your health! I'm tickled that Amazon carries this, because it's harder to get in stores than previously.
Apple pieces spoil everything!:
The muesli is good, but dried apple pieces just spoil everything. Would you eat apples with milk? Familia Natural thinks that it's a great idea!
