    Received these today which was perfect timing as I wanted to use them to make ‘crackles’ for my daughters party tomorrow.

    The packaging is attractive and the colours give me the feeling that it is clean and healthy. Like that it has the cutout on the back for smaller kid’s.

    I like how easy it is to see that they are suitable for vegetarians, no added colour or flavour, and I especially like no artificial sweetener. Gluten free is a HUGE tick, it is hard to cater for kids with allergies at parties etc.

    First I let Miss 7 try it as cereal and she gave it the big thumbs up. I tried it also and the first thing that crossed my mind is that it didn’t just taste like sugar, it was tasty without being sickly sweet.

    We used 4 cups (still some left over) to make crackles, we didn’t add cocoa or coconut as I love the colours of the cereal and the taste was perfect without other ingredients.
    Very happy with how they turned out and how attractive they look.

    I’m sure when I tell the parents tomorrow about the cereal and it’s healthier aspect they will be surprised, possibly thinking that it was just another sugary crackle at a kids party.

    Kids were excited this Morning when it arrived with what looks like a rough courier package, with no moment to spare and a full bowl they absolutely loved it, I love it that it’s not a sweet as other cereal so will definitely be getting this next time shopping, thanks for opportunity

    My kids couldn’t wait to rip into these and they weren’t disappointed. Both my 5 and 3yo loved them and I loved that they were lower in sugar.
    They looked appealing both my kids living the pink and green. They are very fond of pop cereal so loved the bubbling sound, shape and texture.
    They have had similar that are too sweet but these are just right. They have also had some similar sweetened with date purée but were not that fond of them so these trumped them.
    The pre and probiotic are an added bonus especially after being sick recently and having one on antibiotics it is a nice way to get good strains back into them.
    I love to reduce sugar in our diets.. after having gestational diabetes I’m am very aware of sugar in our food so look for any way to cut sugar. This is usually associated with a higher cost but it’s worth it for the health benefits and to be able to eat foods we enjoy without having to worry about loading with sugar all the time.

    Recieved these in the mail after a rough courier ride it looks like! The children were very excited to try this first thing this morning, as I don’t give them many options in the morning for breakfast, due to too many cereals being too high in sugar. Excitedly they ripped into the box and all 3 kids poured themself a giant bowl each and were instantly saying yummmmmm when they began to eat. Asking for more !! Great success and I like that pre/probiotics are in this to add extra immunity to my children through this tasty breakfast, will definately be buying this from now on.

    My son couldn’t wait for the milk and ate it as a snack he absolutely loved them and even dad had a bowl they are very yummy

    • lynnie 29/02/2020 at 5:33 pm

      Well these where a big hit in this household . Bit of a battered up box when we got it lol .
      The twins aged 18mths old loved them and enjoyed colours, master Ryan age 9 loved it Myah age 13 had three bowls full ,even the adults enjoy eating them they’re nice to have without milk or with milk nice to know that there’s healthy nutritional stuff out there that has great flavour.
      Well done cannot wait to find this on Pioneer new world’s shelves

    These arrived yesterday afternoon (albeit after a rough journey with the courier by the looks 😂 ) and all 3 kids wanted them for afternoon tea. Miss 5, Mr 6 and Mr 12 all thoroughly enjoyed them saying they were yum and requested them for breakfast as well. It’s great that the kids think they are getting a treat cereal but it’s actually much healthier than half the sugar laden ones out there.

  7. mumjess 28/02/2020 at 7:47 am

    The kids really enjoyed these Fun Puffs on top of their weetbix this morning!
    The parcel arrived yesterday and I heard excited fun puffs chatter more than once in the afternoon.
    This morning I can downstairs with all the washing and all 4 of the kids were quietly eating without any bickering which is a rare treat. We have a few who just can’t seem to handle each other until they have eaten! They reported that the fun puffs were sweet and yum.
    Good job healtheries, I as Mum definitely like that there is no artificial colours especially at this time of day. Only concern is that the first ingredient is rice puffs which include rice and sugar and then second ingredient is sugar? And each portion is made up of 1/7th sugar?
    These are a yummy addition to a more substantial breakfast!

    We received these today to try. They were in the letterbox when we arrived home for the day. There was no waiting till breakfast time – these were requested as part of dinner! My wee boy first tried them without milk as he doesn’t like his cereals with milk, but then managed to convince him to try with milk… and verdict was double thumbs up. He really enjoyed them and even picked up the bowl to drink the ‘flavoured milk’ at the end. Different colours appealed to him, and certainly really interested in it even from just seeing the packaging. He often isn’t sure about trying new things but keen to give these a go straight away.
    And as for mum, I like that they are lower sugar, no have added pre/probiotics, as well as being gluten free and no added nasties – just all natural ingredients.
    These would still be a sometimes option for us as we do look for higher protein options at breakfast time, but still a good option for those days you just need something quick.
    I’d certainly be suggesting to my sister as my nephew is gluten free.
    Thanks so much for the chance to try these!

      Recieved it yesterday by courier. By the looks of the packaging could have been harder to handle the rough journey with courier. Nevertheless, it’s colourful so my son was eager to try it for his breakfast. He said it does taste less sweeter than other cereals . He loves the colour and the taste of it. Its very yummy with cold milk. His definitely wanting more of it for his breakfast so I will be buying more of this since healthier compared to less sugar than other cereals and to make it more healthier it has probiotics goid for these growing kids.

    Both my boys absolutely loved these, they got right into the idea of trailing a product, they loved them straight from the box and also tried some with a little bit of milk, they are excited to have rice crackles made with these for their lunch boxes, no sugar just a bit of coconut oil to set them together, providing the price is ok I will be buying these as a treat for my kids

  10. heatherp 27/02/2020 at 4:34 pm

    The cereal arrived this afternoon & my son wanted it straight away after school! He loves it and has asked if I can keep buying it. He’s also on his second bowl so it may be a late dinner for us tonight! I must admit I tried some too. I liked the crunch, the flavour, and the fact that it’s not too sweet. The colours are fun and I’m thinking of using them for homemade cereal bars. The box is cute and my son’s keen to make the mask. But it also displays a lot of good nutritional facts which I like. I would buy this going forward & am grateful for the chance to try it.

    Just received these about 30mins ago and wow they are a cool ceral! Pink, green and brown rice bubbles Mr 2 and 6 year old were amazed! They love Rice’s but have never seen ‘rainbow’ rices. Mr 6 year old guessed the flavours to be chocolate, strawberry and lime and made ‘monster juice’ when the colour came off into the milk. Great ceral! Have some put away for the morning 😁 will make the morning fun eating rainbow rices. I managed to grab a bowl of it and I have to say yum! Still have the flavours in my mouth. Very tasty and with 40% less sugar I didn’t feel a ‘sugarhigh’ and we’re very filling which is a bonus knowing belly are full. And with being vegan makes it great knowing the ceral can be tried by a wider range of people. What a cool product and will definably be popped into the trolley when I see them on special! 9/10 only a 9 cause a bigger box would be great ☺️

  12. cbirch 27/02/2020 at 3:36 pm

    These didn’t even make it to breakfast and we’re devoured as an after school snack (approximately 30 second after waking in the door!)
    I really like the idea of these as a more healthy treat breakfast. Really like that they have less sugar and love the added pre and probiotics! I would definitely recommend them to others and have already been asked if we can get them again!
    Master 9’s review is: I liked it. It was quite good. The taste was sugary (not in a bad way, in a good way!) The colour was a nice mix. I like them better than rice bubbles.

  13. Shortbratt 27/02/2020 at 3:26 pm

    We received these this afternoon. There’s nothing better than a cereal afternoon snack. Miss 2.5 was very excited by the mixture of colours, they were light but crunchy. She ate the whole bowl full and slurped the milk left behind. I really like that they’re 40% less sugar and are a gluten free option. Happy to report that these will be a repeat purchase every shopping week. Thank you for the opportunity to try these.

  14. Ashleyroberts 27/02/2020 at 2:38 pm

    Got these today, my daughter couldn’t wait to try them so after kindy she had a bowl she loved them especially the colours and they were yummy she had another bowl

    Will definitely be buying these as we love they have much less sugar 🙂

  15. Shanee51 27/02/2020 at 7:46 am

    Early wake up from the courier this morning but little dude was pretty excited to see what it was…
    So 1st morning of having fun puffs and what a hit!!! He had a full bowl and he ate the whole bowl whilst saying mmmmm yum the entire time! Safe to say he really enjoyed it. Love the colours makes it fun and exciting to eat. Great crunch and tastes pretty good (I had a small bowl too) love that it’s not full of sugar and not super sweet! Has a nice flavour. He loved the chocolate milk at the end and picked up his bowl and drunk what was left. Safe to say I think this will be going on our shopping list!

  16. Hannah Rutland 20/02/2020 at 1:28 pm

    I would love to trial this for you as I’m really struggling getting my kids to eat breakfast. Lots of cereals have tonnes of sugar so this could be a great alternative.

  17. Tierdofwastagemum 19/02/2020 at 3:31 pm

    I would love to try these for my 2 boys who are so fussy and just never want to eat anything the same not only do they sound like there super healthy they also sound tasty and look entertaining enough for them both to eat at diffrent age groups

  18. theone.renee 19/02/2020 at 11:52 am

    It is always hard to tempt kids with gluten free products and products with less sugar. I would love the opportunity to introduce this product to my son and give him another alternative for breakfasts before a school day.

  19. Alyshia 19/02/2020 at 2:31 am

    Less sugar is always a first choice for me to buy but it is hard finding one the kids like I’d love to try this thanks

  20. Klee1987 17/02/2020 at 9:56 pm

    This would be so good for my son to try I love idea of less sugar in cereal will b so good for our family

  21. Brenda Kidd 17/02/2020 at 9:02 pm

    This looks delicious – we eat a lot of Healtheries snack items so it would be really great to try this cereal. Our 8 year old is a massive cereal eater and will often eat cereal for pudding at night – she just cant get enough of it.

  22. Kayleigh Jukes 17/02/2020 at 12:58 pm

    My kids (2 yo girl and 3 yo boy) would love to try this! They love puffs and I think they’ll really dig how they’re coloured; because they’re naturally coloured I’m also excited about them. They eat cereal every day and it’d be nice to have another healthy option!

  23. Purpleducks1 16/02/2020 at 5:21 pm

    Ohhhhh my 6 year old would love to trial these, also I’m gluten free and can enjoy a sneaky nibble too! Love how it has 40% less sugar and the colours make them appealing to children 🥰

  24. MummyJ 16/02/2020 at 11:55 am

    My kids are getting bored of the same cereal and these look like such a healthy option! We are always looking to improve our foods

  25. Claireichert 16/02/2020 at 11:15 am

    My boys (6 and 3)would love to try this. I’m always on there look out for different and healthy options for breakfast. Their go to is rice bubbles, so this would be something yummy for them to try!

  26. Nilofa 16/02/2020 at 4:20 am

    Keen to try this for my 10year old son. Cereal is his usual breakfast but hate to see him with some high sugar cereal in the market. This seems like a very healthy option. Hope to get opportunity to trial.

  27. kblm90@gmail.com 15/02/2020 at 11:43 am

    Wed love to try these. My four year old really loves her cereal at the moment. Shes never had anything apart from corn flakes and rice bubbles because of the other sugar content. ^these sound fabulous!

  28. Missgoldie 14/02/2020 at 8:50 pm

    These look delicious & like a super fun breakfast treat! My girls would absolutely love to try these

  29. Rebekkaa 13/02/2020 at 4:28 pm

    Not only do these look yum & healthy but they also look fun also!!! I struggle to get my 4 year old to eat in the mornings before kindy but these look like they would make breakfast easy!

  30. Rozvergara 12/02/2020 at 11:10 pm

    My daughter would love to try this as it’s combining 2 of her favourite breakfast – chocolate puff and fruit cereals.
