Proper Joy by Jamie Oliver - Granola Dust, Super-Delicious and Nutritious Breakfast, No Added Sugar, High in Fibre and Vitamin D, Source of Protein, Gluten Free and Vegan Friendly, 500 g

My niece (2yrs) and nephew (5yrs) absolutely love this and always ask for the ‘special porridge’ when they stay round. I give them 1tbsp each as it’s high in fibre and they have with other fruit too ☺️It’s got a light chocolatey orange flavour packed with seeds, nuts and dried fruit. If you are someone who buys nuts, seeds, porridge toppings etc all separately, then this is essentially all that goodness whizzed into an easy, convenient powder.Don’t dig in expecting a granola crunch, think of it as a nutrition booster to porridge, smoothies, yogurt etc and use in place of nuts.Overall it’s great value for money considering the high quality ingredients and in comparison to a bag of nuts!This would also be really fab for older adults too to get in extra nutrients, fibre, omega 3s, vitamin D and other minerals! It’s easy to chew, swallow and still packed with nutrition 👍

This is a fantastic product to have in your cupboard for a quick breakfast or snack. The flavour of chocolate and orange is delicious and feels very indulgent while still being incredibly healthy. The texture is smooth and easy to add to pancake mixes to boost the nutrition, but also easy to add milk for an afternoon snack. This product is very versatile and I love how many different ingredients have gone into it. Perfect to add a variety of plant based ingredients in a simple step!

I do like a lot of Jamie's recopies and his more down to earth approach to cooking, more honest less arty food, so was keen to try his new granola dust. Consistency is like crushed digestive biscuits (would make a nice cheesecake base!) its very dry but that is to be expected. It has a very mild chocolate orange taste, and this is subtle but the predominant taste, occasionally you can taste dates or dried fruit. I've tried it on yoghurt, on its own as a porridge and as a topping. It does need something moist and the flavour is nice enough, not sweet, relatively neutral.This is something Ive done before, as I often blend oats, nuts and fruit to make a smoothie, and its extremely easy to make your own and much larger quantities, but its the convenience you are paying for. It does contain a wide range of ingredients but on reflection the actual amounts are small, in a 500g bag you are only getting 15 Almonds or 3-4 Brazil nuts so an even smaller quantity per 50g serving. So you are only getting micro amounts of smaller ingredients like the nuts and fruit. Its mainly oats, and this brings me to my other disappointment and that is its not even organic oats. At the price it is I would expect organic oats to be used, rather than cheap standard oats.Overall I like the taste of the dust, its somewhat pointless adding it to porridge as you are in effect just adding more oats. Its a good way to get a some more nutrition in foods so great for fussy kids and I'm all for Jamie's approach to push for more healthy eating but in reality those less well off wouldn't be able to afford this as a breakfast item. The dropped stars are only down to the cost considering its predominantly cheap oats (55%) and the fact at this price point I would expect organic oats at the least.

I was looking for a granola that was crunchy and not too full of nuts. Be aware, this is literally granola dust. It is very flavourful and can be used in recipes and sprinkled on dishes. However, given 4 star rating because it wasn't very clear that it wasn't actual granola. I would buy it again to use as baking or smoothie additive but definitely not as a crunchy addition to my morning yogurt.

I liked the idea, but it smelled of stale nuts when the packet was opened and the taste was unpleasant. Maybe I was unlucky and had a bad batch.

Taste not so great the orange flavour takes over. Not as creamy as looks especially if you decide to use as a porridge alternative. Probably only best for smoothies and yoghurt topping. Don’t purchase if you aren’t a fan of orange or goji berries because both are over powering in this mix. Slightly disappointed had high hopes for this product

I bought this as a substitute for the mixed nuts and seeds that I normally add into my porridge and I'm so pleased with it! It's really finely milled so it just stirs right in and I don't have to bother adding lots of different toppings to boost the fibre and nutrition anymore. I love the orangey flavour that it brings (I used to add cinnamon for flavour, but no need now) and a little goes a long way. I expect my bag will last me a good few months so well worth the investment.As a treat, at the weekend I add a scoop into my banana pancake batter and it works brilliantly. I will definitely be purchasing this again - love love love it!

I bought granola dust to try as I was suddenly aware that most supermarket granolas aren't as 'healthy' as they sound so was keen to find an alternative that was. I'm pleased to say it has surpassed all my expectations! Not only is it nutritious, it's delicious and so versatile. Both my husband and I use it every day sprinkled on our porridge, but have also tried adding it to smoothies, pancakes (yum!!) and even made the granola dust energy balls recipe from Jamie Oliver's website and they make a great on-the-go snack!Really recommend.
