I know it's a breakfast cereal, but what's the ingredients?

Alpen is packed full of the finest natural ingredients like juicy raisins, crisp wheat flakes, roasted hazelnuts and almonds and rolled oats. All combined to ensure that Alpen is the tasty way to look after yourself.

i eat suger free alpen for breakfast. much nicer to eat than plain old oats IMO.

yeah but is it as good as a equivalent to oats or somewhere near enough?

sitries · 17-02-2006, 08:31 PM

near enough mate. alpen ahs also got hazelnuts and pistachio nuts in it so a bit of extra protein. The way i look at it is - if you buyoats and dont really enjoy them then you will dread eating them. however if you buy something like alpen which tastes a hell of a lot better you will look forward to eating it and therefore will eat more of it. so its best to try and focus your diet around things you actually like eating, not just around whats the healthiest - especially when bulking.

I would say buy oats Alpen has around 20 grams of carb sugars per 100g and you would never eat alpen with anything other than milk hence more sugar. Alpen is only 35% rolled oats.
