Another beautiful product by healtheries. The last time round we got the twirl chips and every since then my kids and I have been addicted to them and our house never goes with out them. My 4 year old daughter is used to having oats for breakfast so this was a new colourful change for her. For me the packing mad either quite appealing stating at probiotics really got me happy. So far shes been loving them and requesting more puffs then milk haha. I am going to get my little one 1.5 year old to try and have them as a snack as I think she might like them with no milk
Thanks for letting us review this! my miss 7 was pretty thrilled to receive it, i was a little bummed that the box was completely crushed when it arrived, but i guess that happens when its posted, other than the the box is cute, eye catching colours and cool monster mask on the back. my daughter tried them, she liked them, i tried them, me not so much, i thought they were kind of bland, my daughter ate the bowl of it and was very satisfied with it, so thats a plus in my book, i would buy them again for her given they are a healthier option of cereal
This cereal was a big hit with Mr 9. He has toast and yoghurt every day for breakfast, but since trying this for the first time he’s asked for it every day since. Today he was pretty disappointed that there wasn’t enough left for a full bowl, and I had to mix it with cornflakes. He said it tastes like chocolate and vanilla. He has it with milk, and he really likes it. I like the idea of good things getting into him along with his cereal.
We were lucky to be chosen to try healtheries fun puffs cereal
and there was no convincing him otherwise sadly
Packaging was great the kids loved the monster on the box
Hubby said it looks like a 80s style cereal box- pretty simple and not fancy but in a good way
I have a 7yo who is a extremely picky eater but loves cereal so was hoping he would love these
But sadly he didnt because he was convinced that the greenish ones were mouldy
Our 5yo doesnt like anything sweet so he wasnt a fan unfortunately
But ….
Our 12 & 14yo boys loved it !
Miss 8 years old like loved these…. She’s a real fan of cereals and has pretty much had them all…. She has her favourites and ones she won’t eat again but definitely is game to try them all. I was impressed that today she asked if I could get some more because in her words…”is running low”.
The colour is very inviting, she loves that they’re multi coloured.
She didn’t find it too sweet, she said it was “just actually perfect”. She could taste the different flavours which impressed me because I thought maybe it would all kind of taste the same.
They’re crunchy which she enjoyed. She also enjoys the milk after the cereal is finished.
This is definitely a winning our house, awesome team thanks so much for the trial.
Thanks for allowing us to trial these. Miss 11 hasnt really been eating breakfast often so was keen to try these to see if it would help. While she is not overly fussed on the taste, she loves the crunch and has been having breakfast, so I’ll call that a win. I love that they are gluten free and have both pre and probiotics. I do think the sugar content is quite high though. I think the multi colours make it a little more interesting than normal rice bubbles and the monster mask on the back is cool for younger kids. Will purchase these again.
My 6 and 1 year old loved the healtheries fun puffs cereal! So much that we’ve had to purchase them again. Great that there’s no artificial colours etc and also gluten free! My 7 year old was not a fan but 2/3 isn’t bad
Our 7 year old tried these and loved them. I love the fact that they don’t have as much sugar as a lot of cereal out there!
We recieved a box to try and after being away on holiday and having lots of pancakes for breakfast it was great to get my 2 year old and 4 year old to try something else! We have been trying to find them a new cereal and this one is a hit! We would def buy it again. The kids loved the different colours, they made it fun to eat! I would recommend the cereal (I had a try myself and it was tasty!)
The kids loved them and would happily eat again. I felt they were too sweet and tasted like lollies. The sugar content was quite high for breakfast so I would treat as a dessert. I would not rush to buy again as I think there are better healthy or beneficial cereals out there
Master 5 and Miss 3 loved the look of these, the colours were really appealing. I liked that it had no artificial flavours, colours, sweeteners and preservatives and it had probiotics and prebiotics. It was also good that it had less sugar than some other options but still.more than I’d like. Master 5 loved the taste of them and was wanting more but Miss 3 did finish hers but wasn’t keen on having any more. I might buy this again as an occasional breakfast treat.
Yay! A box of kid appealing cereal which Actually has some good stuff in it too!!! And lots less sugar.
Miss 6yrs really liked it, and Miss 20months also enjoyed. The colours are appealing for them and they are nice and crunchy like other puffed cereals.
I was really excited to receive this product because it sounded like a great option for kiddies! Unfortunately I saw that sugar is the second ingredient on the list and with 14.1 grams of sugar per 100 grams, that was clearly free sugars instead of sugar from fruit.
Overall the taste is quite sweet but I love the idea and delicious he little ones enjoyed them as more of a treat instead of a cereal to start everyday with. Great to see the colour is from a natural source and this makes the bowl really fun for kiddies but I still can’t get past the sugar content.
Miss 8 was excited when she saw the box and asked for them as breakfast. Unfortunately she wasn’t really a fan, she finished the bowl but said the flavour was a but off.
I will try using them to make a slice instead but wont be buying them again. A shame.
My daughter seemed to eat them ok. The colours definitely helped…. I tried them and it tasted like nothing really. My chickens loved them :p
Our four kids all loved the Healtheries Fun puffs cereal! It is very appealing with the 3 colours. They also loved the flavour of the cereal and asked for it each morning until it was all gone! It’s great knowing as a parent that it’s not too full of sugar and other nasties! I will definitely buy this in the future and recommend it to others too! Thanks!
We were lucky enough to trial this cereal – Mr 5 wouldn’t touch it however Miss 11 loved it, she loved it so much she ate the whole box (not in one go) and asked if I could buy some at shopping, I haven’t found it yet though?
It was good to see that the packet was really full, not much space at top.
My 11yr old said they tasted like fruit loops. Unfortunately she didnt like this cereal.
I gave the box to my 4yr old nephew who loved them!
Appreciated being able to test them and did like that were gf and nutricious.
We received a pack to try for my 6, 4 and nearly
2 year olds. Miss 2 and mr 4 were very keen to try them out, mr 4 said they tasted like chocolate and he quite liked them but hasn’t asked for them again for breakfast. Mr 6 did not like them at all. Miss 2 asks for them nearly every day so she is a big fan. The colours make it a bit more fun than a standard rice bubble and the added probiotics is a big bonus however my children didn’t enjoy them enough for me to continue purchasing these
My two girls are big fans of the Fun Puffs! Had them as an after school snack as well as brekky. I’m a fan of the fact that they have those hidden goodies – prebiotics and probiotics. Highly recommend.
Loved it, one tried, the told the other, goes best with Mango yoghurt!
We tried the Healtheries Fun puffs and mostly got thumbs up from the kids! The older kids said they don’t really have much taste other than chocolately taste. Overall they liked eating it, but didn’t really want it again the next day. The lovely colours is a good attraction, but unfortunately that is where it ends. I personally like the idea of it being less sugar and the added prebiotics but don’t think we will buy this product in future. They are however great for using in slices instead of plain ricies.
I tried these on my 3 grand-children when they came to stay over the weekend Mr 7 Miss 5 and Miss 2 and The Mr 7 was very happy with them and asked for them again the next day, He said it was yummy and like having a milk shake for breakfast but the other 2 screwed upp their noses and said it was too sweet so they had toast.
My two boys tried these ages 7 and 11. They said they tasted like rice bubbles only sweeter. While they did eat the bowl they haven’t rushed into finishing the pack. My kids don’t have a huge amount of sugary food except for occasional treat times and think these were a bit too sweet for them as a breakfast cereal. Unfortunately I wouldn’t purchase them again as I’m concerned about the sugar content of 14.1g per 100g compared to Weetbix 2.8g per 100g which they normally eat. Not good for children’s teeth!
Mr 2 loved fun puffs, I think mainly because of the chocolate flavour for a breakfast treat. Mr 4 wouldn’t go near them, the snap crackle pop and the multi coloured scared him off.
I tried them and found the texture odd but the taste ok.
Will buy them in future over sugar filled brands for Mr 2 as I appreciate the less sugar and no artificial sweetners or flavors and natural colouring is awesome!
Well these were tested by all 4 of my children, the youngest who is 3 was very interested in trying them, with the the lovely colours and Monster on the Cereal Packet, however he only ate a few spoonfuls and gave it back. (I think it was too sweet for him – he usualy has weetbix or cornflakes with peaches and milk. My 2 older boys 8 and 10 loved them, the flavour was not too sweet, but still yummy and they thought of them much like Coco Pops which they are not allowed to eat (too much sugar). My older daughter 14 didnt like them, she said too chocolately for her. I like the fact that they have 40% less sugar and have prebiotics and probiotics so will definitely buy for the 2 boys again to keep them fit and healthy. Gluten Free would be a great win for those kids who are looking for gluten free cereals. Would be great if the box was a bit bigger, as I dont think it would last a week in my house.
Looked great with the different colours. But once milk added and eaten the colour of the milk left in bowl didn’t make them want to drink it like they normally do. I tried a mouthful of them dry and thought that they were too sweet for me. Also glad I had the chance to try but don’t think I’ll be buying. Was better with yoghurt on the second try as not as much milk used
My 7 year old and 3 year old absolutely loved the Healtheries Fun Puffs Cereal. I even caught my 3 year old the next day sneaking into the pantry to get some more out of the container! As a mum I try to choose healthy options for my children’s cereal. I loved this one as it has prebiotics and probiotics, less sugar and no artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners or preservatives. My seven year old wrote her own review and said “I love the fun puff kids cereal. It was delicious. The brown tasted like chocolate. She wrote down what her 3 year old brother said “It was yummy and he liked the monster mask. Thank you very much.” Definitely keen to get this one again.
I was hoping my boys woukd like these because of the prebiotics and proboitics and free from artificial colours etc but they didbt enjoy.
I can see why the colours of the puffs would appeal my 3 year old liked this and was drawn. But these were far too sweet for them. While Mr 5 liked the cocoa ones he didnt like the others.
My kids dont overly like milk with their cereal and complained these were dry. They were only marginally better with milk.
Myself and my husband also didnt enjoy these purely because they were soo sweet.
So we were disappointed. I think we will stick with the occassional bowl of coco pops instead.
Our 10 year old daughter thought these were too sweet and in her words quite yukky. I tired them and was also not a fan of them.
