Ain't been here for a while, so apologies if this has already been mentioned. I've been buying the Paleo Muesli in Aldi. It's the only cereal I can have that has no effecy at all on my bloods, even if I fill my bowl & have milk.🙂 It's really nice, though the seeds can get stuck in your teeth.😱

Whats the info if you don't mind me asking Mark, don't have an Aldi but may look into someone else picking it up for me 🙂 x
 
They have 2 types. One with fruit and one without. The fruit one is berries. I think it's mainly made up of different kinds of seeds and coconut. Lots of fibre so slow release carbs. I tested my bs and it actually went down after, even though I had a lot more than the recommended quantity.
 
Does it actually taste good though? Some of this stuff I end up with jaw ache and bits stuck in my teeth like I've been chewing on the floor of the budgie cage! I think my mouth is too sensitive for all this sharp food! :D

It's not chewy & tastes ok to me, though the seeds can get in your teeth.
 
Just bought some. Nutty Paleo Muesli at £2.70ish for a 140g packet. Ingredients: Linseed, crushed cashews (13%), sunflower kernels, walnuts (8%), pumpkin seeds, date paste, hemp seed, coconut chips, honey, salt.
100g is 523 calories,15g carb and 22g protein.
 
Haven't had a bowl of cereal in a year, I'm drooling about the prospect!
 
£2.70 for 140g 😱 You'd only get about 4 portions out of it. I thought Aldi was supposed to be cheap!
 
It ain't cheap. 4 portions is about right if you fill your bowl (like I do). I buy it every now & then for a change. Nice with a few blackberries.
 
Lidl’s Simply Sumptuous Really Nutty ( 42% nuts) Muesli works well for me. Delicious!
 
Our Aldi has stopped selling it now. Obviously not popular enough.:(
 
I looked in ALDI yesterday for it but couldn't find any :( assumed they did not stock it
 
I bought something similar in Tesco today. Small box compared to normal muesli, and yeah expensive. Fruit version was a fair bit higher on the sugar scale, but the fruitless version was low. I'll let you know how I get on with it!
