Aldi Apple & Cinnamon Crisp Cereal Review

REVIEW

It says on the box “..the irrestible taste is sure to leave you asking for more” and I have to admit it has. What looks like a tooth breaking and jaw exercising cereal, is instead a crunchy, full flavoured cereal that turns into a tasty dessert and is neither hard nor jaw breaking at all.

The cereal is a pleasantly crunchy, unmissably apple and cinnamon seasoned and packed with flavour that does exactly what it says on the box. What look like almond flakes is instead apple bits that come to life in a soft, melty burst of pure apple and combined with the cinnamon flavour(which is neither too strong but powerful enough) give this cereal an Apple Crumble like feel to it. Indeed if you leave the milk in the bowl for 10 minutes plus, the milk gets think and the cereal softens(but still stays slightly crunchy) and keeps all of its flavour(unlike most cereal sitting in milk) and runs into a tasty apple cinnamon dessert, add a bit of banana and you’ve got an enjoyable start to the day….. or any time of the day.

What I like is that there are no nuts, I’m sick of cereals with almonds, hazelnuts or whatever kinds of nuts included. Here there is none of it and I like that, just pure flavour. What I don’t like is that you only get about 3 man-sized portions per box, but for the price thats not Aldi’s fault, I just greedily wanted more. But definitely one of my Top 10 cereals already.
