The first gluten free item I will be reviewing is a breakfast cereal: Doves Farm Gluten Free Chocolate Stars.
Anyone who already follows a gluten-free diet will probably
have heard of Doves Farm! They produce a lot of baking ingredients such as
flour, yeast etc.
This cereal is perfect for children who are coeliac and have
gluten and wheat allergies/intolerancies.
Some kids may feel left out if they have friends and family who can have
normal cereals!
This is the cereal without milk. Looks like a normal cereal.
This is the cereal with milk. To quote another famous cereal, “It turns the
milk chocolatey!” which is something I’m sure children will enjoy.
After eating it, it does taste just like a normal cereal you
could pick up from any supermarket!
Taste: Lovely chocolatey, crunchy cereal. Some gluten-free
cereal can be a bit tasteless and chewy, but I enjoyed this!
Price: The price I
paid was £2.08 for a 375g box, bought in Asda, 21/05/2012. This is one of the more reasonable prices for
a box of gluten-free cereal.
Availability: Sold in
Asda and Sainsbury’s “Free From” sections, and online at Ocado and on the Doves
Farm website (however the price of a box is £3.09!)
Clearly labelled gluten-free?: Yes, one of the first things you notice
on the box!
Nutritional value: Not as sugary as some chocolate cereals
are. Reasonable for a cereal.
Comparison to the regular version: It really does taste like any other cereal,
and it made a good breakfast for me. The
only downside was that it didn’t fill my up like a regular breakfast cereal
possibly would, and I started to feel hungry again after a couple of hours.
Overall rating: 8/10
One of the better breakfast cereals for a gluten free diet!
Perfect for children (or even big kids!).
Enjoyed the taste, it’s a fair price for gluten free cereal, and I have
bought it a few times!
