This thread is for the Mumsnetters who have been trying BEAR Alphabites.
Here’s what BEAR say: “Grrreetings, we’re BEAR and we like things as nature intended. We started out 5 years ago making pure fruit ‘yoyos’ for kids, with no added sugar, concentrates or any other nonsense. The more time we spent talking to parents over the years, the more we realised that breakfast was also a real challenge for families- the sugary, salty cereals on offer made us growl, so we set off foraging to find a much better alternative.
Made from just 6 ingredients- five multigrains and our super new ingredient coconut blossom nectar - our crunchy cereal letters contain no refined sugar, salt or any other nonsense. From the flowers of the coconut tree, coconut blossom nectar is a naturally sweet sap that makes our cereal letters delicious and crunchy, and also provides over half of your daily calcium needs (one bowl of Alphabites with 125ml of semi skimmed milk provides over half of an adult’s daily calcium needs, with half of this coming from the nectar alone). It also has a much lower GI than sugar (35 vs 70 for refined sugar), preventing the usual crazy sugar highs and grizzly crashes that come from too much refined sugar. ”
Below are a few questions for you to answer about eating BEAR Alphabites at breakfast time – feel free to add any other thoughts you may have though, we’d love to hear them.
- Do you find breakfast with your DCs to be a challenge, or not? If you do, could you tell us a bit more about why?
- What do your DCs usually eat at breakfast? Are you worried about the refined sugar and salt that most breakfast cereals contain, or not?
- What did your DCs think of Bear Alphabites (taste, packaging, concept)? What did they like or dislike about them?
- Would you buy Bear Alphabites for your DCs in the future? (available in 375g box, RRP £2.69)?
- Would you recommend Bear Alphabites to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
If you have any photos of your DCs trying BEAR Alphabites, please add them to this thread. Thanks for taking part:
