One 14 oz Alpen Cereal, No Sugar Added

And healthy. My secret is that I add a tiny bit of moscovado sugar to each serving ;-)

I regularly bought Alpen Muesli throughout the 1970's and beyond, enrapt with the incredibly indescribable texture and flavor of a cereal that I could have easily referred to as addictive because of its pleasurable overall consistency, flavor, and content. Somehow, for whatever reason, I lost track of this cereal as time and the years went on, and only recently found myself reminiscing about Alpen Muesli when I did a search, found it on Amazon, and decided to try it - never really expecting it to even closely remind me of the Alpen Muesli of my recall.I am so surprised to report how delighted I am to find that this Alpen Muesli is the very same as the Alpen of my history. Only one negative - the price. After ordering this product and paying the asking price on Amazon, not knowing otherwise, I found the very same Alpen Muesli at our local Whole Foods for exactly one-half the price I paid. I was shocked and disappointed to learn that I had jumped too quickly in an effort to validate my memory of such a heavenly product as Alpen Muesli. Needless to say, I will be buying future boxes of this treat elsewhere. Shame on me. And shame on Amazon.

It is so difficult to find no sugar added healthy cereals. I give this product five stars just for existing and doing that.

So this muesli is notable in that it's primary ingredient consists of small wheat or bran flakes, rather than rolled oats. This significantly changes the character and makes it more like a traditional wholesome cereal than common mueslis which prefer the rolled oat base. The wheat dominates the flavor profile. Fortunately, I like bran flakes about as much as I like muesli, so this is pretty good. It's substantial and has variegated textures and flavors. I don't think it mixes well with other muesli, but that's not a deal breaker for me. It isn't sweet at all, which is just how I like it.It's pretty good dry and with 2% milk, and fairly filling. In terms of price, if you can get it at the $4 price point, it's an excellent deal, at $8 its okay.In the end, I prefer the Familia- or Swissli-type muesli, but this is nice to add to the rotation once in a while.

I love Alpen!

I love Alpen and it’s hard to find now in stores. I was happy to see it on Amazon and I thought a fair price.

It says it has six grams of sugar, but taste like it has zero. The grains and flakes are so small that it pretty much turns to dust. Turns to mush in the cereal bowl. I'm trying to eat healthy, but this is the worst cereal i've ever had.

It was shipped in a plastic bag. Opened it up and it looked like it had been stepped on. Repeatedly.Taste is ok, very dense so it's easy to unintentionally pour multiple servings at once.
