Lidl Deluxe Berries and Cherries Muesli Review

The Lidl Deluxe Berries & Cherries Muesli costs £2.19 and is around 500g of muesli. Which is quite expensive but it's full of fruit and is absolutely delicious. I found that it has an amazing range of texture and flavour which really meld together well.

Taste and Texture

The muesli is really crunchy, soft and chewy at the same time. It has the right number of fruits; the raspberry brings a tang and tartness to it while the raisins give it sweetness. The whole pack is around 35% fruit which is a nice change to granolas and muesli packs which just have no fruit in it at all. The fruit is quite varied and each mouthful has a different taste each time. With some leaning towards tart cranberries and raspberries and other mouthfuls being towards sweet blueberry and raisins.

The occasional sunflower seed in this also makes it have some crunch occasionally with some mouthfuls. However, the muesli does get soggy quite quickly which is one of the disappointing aspects about it. You won't really taste the bran flakes themselves though, as they are overpowered by the fruits (which I don't mind) so you will need to add more bran flakes to it if you want more of a balance.

Visually, the muesli is very appealing, it is slightly pink with some of the bran flakes then it's normal brown beige colour that is usual with bran. You can clearly see the variety of different pieces in the bowl and this makes the eating experience more interesting rather than just eating granola with rare specks of different colours.

Conclusion

Overall, I found the Lidl Deluxe Berries & Cherries Muesli is vibrant and a flavour packed option which gives you a generous 35% fruit content along with a variety of textures from chewy, crunchy to soft. It is on the pricier side when compared to standard mueslis but the quality and abundance of fruit make it feel much more premium. I found the only downside that it becomes soggy quickly and the bran flakes are overshadowed.
