Yogood crunchy muesli

Last year, when I was contacted by the people from Pristine to try their gourmet muesli, I got a pleasant surprise on how good their muesli was.

Since then, they have been passing me their other products to sample- their chocolate coated muesli bars, breakfast toppings etc. But I was not obliged to write about their products, they were just appreciative of comments to improve on their products.
So, when Pristine contacted me recently to sample some of their new launches, I was so enticed by it's packaging and deliciousness of the muesli that I just had to share ;)
Pristine gave 2 new products to me-
Yogood Fruit & Nut Crunchy muesli and Yogood Chocolate & Nut Crunchy Muesli..

One look at the packaging and I've already made up my mind that the chocolate version would taste way better than the other flavour :p

Tried the chocolate crunchy muesli first..I've always preferred crunchy muesli- the crunchiness would mask the slightly card-board texture of the muesli :p. Give the package a good shake- all the nuts were at the bottom of the pack. The chocolate flavour was just perfect-not too sweet with a slight tinge of bitterness. The milk gets cloudy and chocolaty after a while, I felt like I was eating an adult (albeit a healthier) version of Kokocrunch. Loved the assortment of nuts- hazel, almond, brazil and pecan- all fresh and paired wonderfully with this muesli.

I had my reservations to try the second pack of Yogood crunchy muesli..Why? I dislike dry/ dessicated coconut in my food. And the packaging describes that it has coconut. Ermmm. Anyways, I have to try it and I got such a good surprise. I think the ratio of raisins, dried banana, apple, coconut and nuts were the same as the muesli. Look at the amount of ingredients..yums yums.. I didn't even feel that I was eating muesli.Hehehe. And yes, I could hardly taste the coconut- so all is good. So good that I have a hard choice of deciding which is my favourite....the chocolate or fruit&nut???

I still cant decide..though I'm happily munching away..:p

Yogood Crunchy muesli range is available in all leading supermarkets/ hypermarkets.

Yogood gourmet muesli

The people from Pristine contacted me recently, they wanted me to try some of their health food products- some new flavours that they have launched recently..
I thought the timing was perfect; I have been trying to balance out my usually rich, heavy meals with some healthy ones, and yogood range seems to fit in nicely.
I got their gourmet muesli range..
Ok..muesli..I'm not that enthusiastic as for me, muesli is well...not that tasty :p. I mean, I'm sure we can eat healthy but those health food can taste good too right?
Nonetheless, I tried it...
Started off with the Yogood's Cranberry and Mango yoghurt coated muesli bar.
The packaging's pretty..Wonder if the actual bar looks like the picture on this box?
Looks the same. :).
The bar was compact; had chopped dried cranberries and mangoes, giving wonderful flavour to it. The creamy yoghurt base gelled with the rest of ingredients nicely. I find it a tad sweet, may be fine for most people though. There are also other flavours available.
The gourmet muesli..since i like mango, I tried the Honey and Mango Tango..
The box is not too large, there's 6 serves per box. It's stated on the box that there's 40% fruits, nuts & seeds, and 60% wholegrain...
I am pleasantly surprise, it's really abundant with fruits, nuts and seeds. There are almonds, macadamias, sultanas, raisins, pumpkin & sunflower seeds..and of course the mango bits i like :). I usually dont like muesli as it's rather tasteless, coarse and dry. But the plentiful ingredients does give the muesli great taste with each mouthful and I'd gladly eat it.hehe.
Other flavours available..
Apricots & Almonds
Cran& Berries, and Glow with Goji
I tried glow with Goji..hehe..was just wondering what's Goji? It's actually wolfberries (or kei zhi in cantonese), but in european countries, they call it Goji. I've tried dried goji snack before, it was hard and dry. Luckily, Yogood's version is soft and sweet, tasted very much like mini sweet dates. Goes well with the rest of the ingredients.
Overall, I must say that the yoghurt bars and gourmet muesli are yummy; here's to a healthier lifestlye :D
You can get Yogood yoghurt bars and gourmet muesli at most supermarts/ hyper marts.
