Telma's Mixflakes Plus Cereal

תלמה מיקספלקס פלוס

Telma who recently gave us Vanilla Flavored Cornflakes now has a new line of cereals based on their popular Mixflakes cereal. There are three flavors in this new Mixflakes Plus line.

1. Whole Wheat & Rice Flakes with Granola Clusters & Nut Mix
2. Whole Wheat & Rice Flakes with Granola Clusters & Tropical Fruit
3. Whole Wheat & Rice Flakes with Granola Clusters Nuts & Raisins

I tasted the Whole Wheat & Rice Flakes with Granola Clusters & Nut Mix.

It seemed to me that it was more of a granola and nuts with a touch of Telma's Mixflakes added in. I guess this is a good example of "truth in advertising" because the "tag-line" in the commercials (staring Israel's NBA player Omri Casspi) that are running on TV for these cereals basically says "we exaggerated with the add ins"! Yeah, they sort of did :). There is a tremendous amount of granola (67% to be exact), and a nice amount of nuts. As a whole I'd say there were way more granola and nuts than flakes.

I liked the clusters of granola and I like that there was a lot of them, but there was a lot more granola aside from just the clusters. The small little bits of granola made eating the cereal dry, without a spoon, a little messy. Still, I thought it was tasty when I ate the cereal dry, as a snack.

The granola held up fairly well when I added milk, similar to how most granolas I have tasted with milk. The whole wheat flakes did go soggy quite quickly but there were so few of them that I didn’t really mind.    

The nut mix is a combination of thinly sliced almonds, halved hazelnuts and roughly chopped pecans. I thought they added a nice crunchy texture and I enjoyed having the nuts in the mix, both when I tasted it dry and when I added milk.

This cereal, like all the Mixflakes cereals, is geared toward adults. It was sweet but not overly so. I enjoyed the sweetness and didn’t think they overdid it.

Bottom Line: I thought Telma's Mixflakes Plus with Granola Clusters & Nut Mix Cereal was tasty, very satisfying and filling, but to me it seemed to be more of a granola and nuts mix than a classic flakes based cereal. Their suggestion on the box to shake it before pouring into a bowl was actually a good idea this way you get a nice amount of all the nuts and granola bits in your portion.

(I thought that's a bit expensive for a Telma cereal they were on sale at Rami Levi and Mega Bul two for 30.00 NIS)
