Can anybody recommend a breakfast cereal of the fruit and fibre type that doesn't have raisins or sultanas in it? I don't mind apples or bananas, for example, but I find that the smaller fruits get stuck in my teeth!
Does such a cereal exist or am I out of luck? Picking the little things out is a PITA.

Mornflakes have a tropical fruit based cereal with no sultanas or raisins in.
Called tropical granual.. also aldi do a very good one granual to with none of the things in it you dont want. Since kellogs are now cutting back on their ingrediants in their fruit and nut bran flakes you can take out the bits you dont want as they are few and far between..

Sainsbury Tropical Granola , which has mango and pineapple instead of raisins etc Aldi & Tesco have equivalents with similar ingredients.

Dorset cereals do a bunch of mueslies (is that a word?), some of which might fit your requirements.

i find that those cereals with raisins & sultanas that the majority of the raisins & sultanas fall to the bottom of the bag, annoying

Also, quick visit to the Supermarket last night reminds that Jordans does a whole range of quite exotic flavours with dried strawberry, raspberry, cherry, pecan etc.

Since you're looking for flake type cereals I think you're out of luck. As stud u like says, you could make your own concoction. Buy basic bran or wheat flakes, a bag of mixed nuts, and dried banana flakes or whatever you fancy, roughly chop the nuts and dried banana and there you have it - It would then be exactly to your taste.

That's exactly how muesli was invented.

I would recommend Graniola. it is has similar levels of fibre and roughage.

But the title of this thread reminded me of my childhood, my big sister hated raisins and picked them all out of her bowls of Alpen and gave them to me to eat. No food waste in the 1970s and 80s.

Because they asked somebody to recommend a product.

M&S have some really nice and inexpensive Granola, that has no fruit in it.
