Shreddies are very underrated- I love em!. They've got be one of the best cereals out there, plus they're healthy. Any other fans out there?

Yes, I've always been a fan. Great crunchy texture and very tasty.

Always hated Shreddies when I was a kid as it was like trying to eat your way through a bowl of cardboard.

I love them warmed up in the microwave. 1 min 30 seconds is my preferred time

nice but try dorset cereals simply delicious muesli instead, its £3 a box but works out the same price as shreddies etc because the box is a bigger weight

I never used to like shreddies but my mum bought some a couple of weeks ago and they're lovely.

I'd never bought them regularly because i thought they were mini shredded wheats..............but I got some recently because they were on special offer and was surprised that they were little squares............obviously I had them confused with something else !

quite good.............I actually bought another pack after I'd finished the first one but it's probably a cereal I'll only buy when it's on special offer

How are they healthy? If they are healthy eat nothing but shreddies and see how 'healthy' you become!

No such thing as healthy food, only healthy diets.

I always keep an eye on sugar content when buying cereals and Shreddies are one of the lower ones, plus 100% whole grain, so as cereals go, they are one of the better options - as part of a balanced diet, of course!

Not had them in years, they're pretty nice though.

I'm quite partial to the sainsbury's own brand ones with apricot or blueberry filling. Just wish they did them in a bigger box size.

Precisely. I don't know why people are so quick to jump from my saying that a cereal is reasonably healthy (ie. low sugar, salt and fat and reasonable fibre content) to thinking that I've some how said it's healthy to LIVE ON THEM and nothing else

I love Shreddies, I like them very soggy. Unfortunately I also love them with about a ton of sugar on them so not such a healthy choice for me!

I just brought some Lidl's Malted Squares.

Just the same as Shreddies but cheaper.

I was on holiday with someone who worked in quality control for shreddies (Pippa???) and she was saying the bane of her life was making sure they all separated so there were no doubles / trebbles etc. She was surprised when I said that one of the joys of eating them was finding the joined up squares and a real highlight was getting a twelve.

The Aldi ones (Harvest Morn Malted Wheaties) are just as good as the real thing, and only 99p for 625g.

I love the frosted shreddies but hate Kellogg's Frosties. I've tried the choco ones too & they're rank. I like the normal ones too with sliced banana or raisen/sultanas & a bit of honey
