Rude Health Coconut Milk

Rude Health is probably one of, if not my favourite brand. Pure, natural ingredients with loads of good stuff, packed full of flavour and with funky packaging, I return to it time and time again.

Whilst buying their delicious bircher muesli on Ocado, they had a bundle deal with their coconut milk. I'm not allergic to dairy but I like trying nut milks so decided to give it a go.

It's not coconut milk as you would get in a can so it's not the thick type to cook with. Instead, it's a dairy free alternative for use on cereal or in hot drinks. Once again, the packaging really stands out and is vibrant and modern.

It's got no weird emulsifiers or thickerners like other dairy free milks and there's no added sugar either. It's just rice, water, coconut and sea salt, all of which is organic.

It's absolutely delicious and whilst not particularly coconutty in taste, it has a mild, sweet, fragrant taste which doesn't dominate what you have it on. In something like porridge, it doesn't comega to the front or on flavoured cereals but on something like Weetabix, you get a nice touch of coconut in each bite.

It's a little pricey at £1.99 but on offer, it makes a refreshing change to regular milk.

Rude Health Bircher Muesli

Wow, wow and wow - sorry to be upfront but this gets the first 10/10 I've ever given. I've always liked the Rude Health granolas and mueslis with their lower sugar content and because they are chock full of all kinds of natural goodness like seeds and nuts. Bircher muesli is probably my absolute favourite breakfast (although porridge comes a close second!). It's creamy, soft, smooth and sweet and frankly tastes like a dessert if it came from a health spa.

This is the first 'dry' packet Bircher muesli I've ever seen. The original recipe from the Swiss Dr Bircher called for simply oats, yoghurt and a little grated apple to make a comforting invalid's breakfast. Rude Health have upped the fruitiness and modernised it with some apple, raisins and banana. This lends it a delicious sweetness in every mouthful that is tantalising rather than a full on sugar hit or sickliness.

Homemade Bircher muesli requires leaving it to steep overnight but Rude Health have finely ground the oats. This means it absorbs milk like a sponge, quickly and conveniently giving you something thick and creamy without all the hassle and preparation.

It tastes absolutely gorgeous - thick, indulgent but also healthy. I improved it even more with a little bit of trail mix for a real sense and taste explosion to kick start my morning. As a box of cereal, it also makes it cheaper than buying the Bircher mueslis you get in the yoghurt aisle as well. Sad as it sounds but I'm aready looking forward to tomorrow morning so I can eat it again!
