Graze: breakfast

How exciting, Graze have created a new range of cereals. Previously, there were a handful of porridges to choose from – these five have now been joined by a host of granolas, 15 in total. As soon as I saw them on the website, I knew I had to order a box and with £3.79 sitting in my account, I got this for 20p! I’m already considering buying another.

I immediately removed all the varieties I knew I wouldn't like – so that was goodbye peach, chocolate orange – in fact, anything containing orange – and while I was happy to try everything else, I chose five to request with ‘send soon’.

Breakfast doesn’t get any better than this, believe me. In my box, I received:

• Summer Fayre (blueberry granola, apple, strawberry pieces, crispy rice flakes & rye flakes)
• Rocky Road Granola (chocolate granola, dark chocolate curls, cherries, pistachios & pumpkin seeds)
• Strawberries & Cream (oat & barley granola, strawberry & raspberry pieces, yoghurt coated strawberry pieces, crispy multigrain flakes & malt coated oats)
• Ski Lodge Spiced Apple (apple, cinnamon & ginger-spiced granola, chopped pecans, honey almond slivers, jumbo raisins & crispy millet flakes)

Firstly, how cute is the box – just like the kids’ boxes, these ones have been personalised and it definitely put a smile on my face; I soon forgot my Monday blues.

I’ve only tried the Summer Fayre and Rocky Road sachets so far but I am most looking forward to the Ski Lodge Spiced apple granola – I love the combination of cinnamon and apple. I don’t think this is a bad box actually and I already know the strawberries & cream variety will be a winner. With a packed summer of sport coming up, I know I’ll be eating plenty of strawberries and cream – it epitomises the British summer.

Summer Fayre

This was summer in a bowl. The blueberry granola was lush – not too sweet and had the perfect crunch. I loved all the additional dried fruit pieces. There’s nothing bad I could say about this cereal at all and if I were to choose another box, I’d definitely pick this.

Rocky Road

With the chocolate granola and curls, combined with cherry, I couldn’t help but think this was more reminiscent of black forest gateau, than it was of rocky road. The pistachios and pumpkin seeds added bite to this cereal. The only thing I wasn’t keen on was the whole cherries, which soon went hard in the cold milk and were difficult to eat.
