Nestle Shredded Wheat Barley & Spelt, Rye & Quinoa both with a hint of honey


Okay so first off I received these product FREE from Bzzagent. That said I am not being paid to review these products nor is it a requirement of receiving them. I just had to spread the word about them via my various social media channels. I decided to review them as I am trying to get more involved in review sites and add contact to my website (once it's built). So for more reviews and also some silly videos please check out my youtube channel or my website (details at the bottom of this review).

So I received the contents below in my Bzzagent Kit:- 3 x £1 money off Coupons and 2 x full size boxes of cereal. 1 x Barley & Spelt and 1 x Rye & Quinoa.  


I tired each cereal on two consecutive mornings. One with Cashew Milk and the other with Hazelnut milk. this was more out of preference as I am trying to cut down on the amount of cows milk I drink.





In the interest of fairness I also tried each of the cereals dry on their so that the taste was not compromised or altered by the different flavours of milk.


In the past I have not been a big fab of Shredded Wheat when I am previously tried the large ones that look like a brillo pad for scrubbing the dishes with.  To be fair I used to think they probably tasted not much better than one too I was however pleasantly surprised by these new bit size ones. With the old large style ones I used to constantly be putting another spoonful in my mouth in order to get some more milk to help wash it down with. Eventually I just ended up with Hamster cheeks full of chewed up shredded wheat and still unable to swallow the straw like texture. Not a very pleasurable experience to enjoy for breakfast.

These new ones on the other hand were a nice bit size piece. they don't seems as straw like or dry as their larger counter parts. The toppings on them are very tasty, almost like nuts and honey. Having tried these two flavours I can't really say I noticed a difference in the flavours and if I had not been told before hand what was on them I would of probably thought both boxes were the same. It might be worth adding a slightly different flavour profile to each box so the experience if different. Maybe nutmeg, cinnamon of something so they taste different to each other.

All in all thought I will be eating these until finished and having noticed they also do Cherry Bakewell flavour and Apple Crumble flavour, I will definitely be trying one of those.
