Mildly sweet, slightly malty flavoured, and extremely soggy. Nothing else tastes quite like a bowl of wheetabix. If the sogginess is offensive you can put butter on them and use them like a fat cracker.

We suggest having four Weet-Bix with two cups of milk. Then, add a piece of fruit and a few nuts for more fibre and a wider range of nutrients. Weet-Bix with milk or yoghurt, fruit and nuts can be a good start to the day, but there are plenty of other options too.
