Monsoon Harvest: Toasted Millet Muesli, Breakfast Cereal - Dark Chocolate & Orange Peel, 250 Grams

I've been using Monsoon Harvest products as breakfast and snacks for months now. I have purchased them from local malls in Gurgaon as well as Amazon and their own website, too. I haven't been paid to endorse the products, I'm simply a customer who is very impressed by the customer interaction and product experience. I have tried ALL of their products. I will list down the pros and cons: PROS: - Quality: Really good ingredients and processing. The dark chocolate is bitter, the honey isn't overly sweet, the dried fruits are really tasty, the nuts are not oily and are super crunchy. - Consistency: Every packet I have used is as fresh as the other. Never have I ever encountered old stock or rancid material. - Sugar content: Monsoon Harvest has much less sugar content than other cereal brands with flavored cereal. We see a lot of advertisements of cereals being healthy but a quick look at the nutritional values says the truth. - Grains: Monsoon Hardest products use multi grain and millets which are much healthier than their common counterparts like corn and flour. This also makes them expensive but it's worth it. - Taste: Apart from being super healthy, the products are very tasty! Even the dark chocolate and orange peel flavor of toasted muesli doesn't taste bad like some chocolates of the same flavor combination do- the balance is excellent. My cousins sometimes finish entire packets of Monsoon Harvest granola in one go because its like cool candy but super healthy. CONS: - If you are someone who prefers classic flavors when it comes to breakfast cereal, stick to the simpler flavors like Fig & Honey+Pistachios and Cranberry+Almond instead of going for bolder flavors like dark chocolate or banana, which might not be for everyone. I have tagged them on Instagram in pictures and stories and their response is really warm, so the customer experience has been great, too. Specifically about the dark chocolate flavour, it's my favorite and I obviously recommend it 100%.

This is a really good product. I am deducting one star because it is a bit costly (maybe the cost of production is indeed high), and the amount in the packet is really less, it gets consumed in a very short duration. As far as the taste is concerned, the flavor is an appropriate indicator of the amount of effort that has been put in its design. But it is the kind of product that some might not find to their liking, i.e. it is not "universally tasty".

Chocolate lovers, this one is for you. And, even though I am not a great fan of chocolate, the sweetness of the dark chocolate and the bitterness of the orange peel really hit the spot for me. I have become a big fan of this brand. One thing that really stands out is the consistent quality of all their products including this one. The ones I order from Amazon.in also tend to be within 15 or 20 days of manufacturing. There is no extra sugar or palm sugar / jaggery added to this product. I guess the sweetness is already in the chocolate nibs. The bitterness of the orange peels balances the sweetness of the dark chocolate. Also, even though the title mentions "Millet Muesli", note that the millet (bajra and ragi) are in flake form, and the major constituent is rolled oats. Among the muesli (from this brand), this one is my favorite. It goes great as an between-meal snack as well. If you like chocolate (and don't mind the slight bitterness from orange peels), just go for this.

I have tried Strawberry, Banana, Mango, Dark Chocolate and Apple. And this flavor deserves 3 out of 5 stars to the Dark Chocolate flavor. What I like about this flavor is the fact that it has dark chocolate + orange peel combined. Just like Lindt Dark Chocolate Orange flavor. Looks like the producers took a cue from there ! Anyways it tastes better than average. What I dont like is the fact that the quantity of this flavor is much less than other flavors of Monsoon Harvest and the price is same as others ! Also, there are a lot of almond pieces in this pack which is also not good. Overall, this gets 3 out of 5 stars.

If you like muesli, you will like this. If you feel expensive, I recommend you still buy it to treat yourself once in a while..
