Swiss Muesli Cereal, Original Recipe with Fruit and Nuts - Enjoy Hot, Cold or as Overnight Oats, 29 oz (Pack of 6)

Delicious cereal and very healthy. The price is great as well.

We were having a hard time even finding this product let alone at this really nice price. It was delivered less than 24 hours later. We're very impressed.

This cereal was a special treat for us kids back in the 1960's. So happy I can relive the exact same experience with this recipe the same since 1959! So delicious and nutritious. Plus a really long expiration date.

This is some of the muesli you can get, in terms of dollar value, and among my favorites in terms of substance. I've been trying different mueslis for more than a year now; this was one of the first I ever tried and set the standard for the others to follow. I prefer the Familia Swiss Muesli to Alpen and many varieties of Seitenbacker, and like it about equally with most varieties of Bob's Red Mill. I find the Original a bit sweet for my preference, and prefer the No Sugar Added version, but this is still good, especially if you blunt it with some plain rolled oats. It has a strong grain profile, a bit of fruitiness, and no oat bitterness to speak of. I've tried it plain, with 2% milk, and with hot water and it is good in all cases. One box tends to last me about 10-15 meals, depending on how they go. If not for the extra sweetness it would have an easy five stars, but for most people I don't think they'd mind, it is more on par with Kix than Frosted Flakes. If you like muesli, or want to get into it, this is a great starting point, I would definitely recommend it.

The Familia red box (w/sugar) is the best meusli I've had, the same I had in the 1960s! For me, the sugar actually tastes better than the plain, and it's def. NOT too sweet. Don't be dissuaded by all the no-sucrose comments - it's just individual preference, just as some ppl drink their coffee black. The red box Familia makes a nutritive, fairly creamy, easy-to-eat oatmeal, esp. w/milk (or even a bit of cream added, as many in Europe do). To make it creamier, add the milk/cream, and set it in the 'fridge for 5-10 mins. The longer you leave it (even overnight), the creamier it becomes as it absorbs the milk (maybe the barley adds smoothness). The nut & raisin proportion is perfect: not too much or too little. If contents may have settled, I'd take it out of the bag, mix it around in a large bowl, & return it to the orig. bag. Forget Bob's Red Mill and Alpen - their bran/woody flavor is too strong & bitter, and overpowers the oats. Bob's has so many inclusions that it can seem like eating wood chips - & it strangely has MASSIVE amounts of sunflower seeds - over 150-200 per bowl! My pkg arrived OK, tho wasn't professionally pkg'd - & it IS a shame that this seller sends a few broken, opened, & out of date. Overall, I'm glad to be able to buy this, as it's not always avail. in stores. I don't think it's too costly - esp. when compared by weight to to typical overly sweet, low nutrition cereals.

Original Recipe is as good as always! Love it!

I tried this as a variation on the other Familia Muesli product, the one in the green box. According to the label, the standard size serving includes 8g of added sugar. My long-standing preference is for no added sugar, so I found this unpleasantly sweet. I also make my own mix by adding seeds, raisins, and bran. With this muesli as the base ingredient, I found the result to be on the gummy side. Next time, back to the green package.

I can’t get enough!
