FamiliaSwiss Muesli Cereal, Original Recipe with Fruit and Nuts - Enjoy Hot, Cold or as Overnight Oats, 29 oz (Pack of 1)

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pkg arrived OK, tho wasn't professionally pkg'd - & it IS a shame that this seller sends a few broken, opened, & out of date.Overall, I'm glad to be able to buy this, as it's not always avail.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.

prompt delivery,excellent packing of classic go-to breakfast cereal extravaganza .the family-size makes this high fiber with dried fruit muesli almost affordable.i prefer the product with real cane sugar already supplied. i add fresh fruit to it to jump start my day. i've loved it since the 1960's and was not disappointed when i reintroduced it into my diet this passed year.really beats corn fakes with high fructose syrup. so easy to prepare.i just love it.

Very tasty - and lots of it!

When I lived in Germany years ago, I absolutely loved Familia muesli. Upon returning to the United States, I searched far and wide for a muesli that came close to this one, but all the Americanized versions never came close. Eventually I found Familia at some local specialty grocery stores, but sometime during the pandemic all the stores stopped carrying this.Thankfully, I've been able to find it on Amazon. Though the appearance of the box has changed, it still is the original muesli. It's great straight out of the box with some milk - no sugar is necessary because the raisins provide all the sweetness you need. Sometimes to add a little more crunch I'll mix in some Cheerios or granola, other times (if I have a little more time), making an overnight Bircher muesli is also good.

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.

Tastes great, very good nutritional stats, and the ingredient list is excellent in its simplicity.The sugar is a little on the high side for me so I plan to switch to the no sugar added version.The box was a little beat up from shipping but the inner bag was still sealed and the contents were fresh so it's fine. I will probably get the 6 pack next time and hope that they all come better protected in a box.I'm very thankful to be able to get a muesli that doesn't have some or all ingredients from China because I don't want melamine in my food. Ten bucks doesn't seem so bad for a box of actual food versus chemicals and poison.2022-10-02 UpdateI got the no added sugar version and tried it. Familia Swiss Muesli Premium, No Sugar Added, 21 OunceI can't review it separately I guess because even though it is different from the Familia Swiss Muesli Original Recipe, 29 Ounce Box version they are sold as versions of the same product from the same product page.The no sugar added version is better. The flavor seems a little more oaty to me but I like it because unnecessary sweetness is kind of gross. I will only be getting the no sugar added version going forward.Note that the no sugar added is less ounces so it definitely has a premium on the price but it's worth it.

I grew up eating this cereal as a child and throughout my young adulthood and I just recently thought about it and found it here on Amazon and ordered some however they definitely changed the recipe is not how it used to be so I won't be purchasing again too bad I really loved the cereal was my favorite
