I find it tasty
I have been eating this cereal for some time (since I was diagnosed with high cholesterol). I find it tasty and I take their word for it that its better for the heart than most other cereals on the shelf. I also add various nuts to the contents. My cholesterol reading has now dropped to normal, but I have cut out many things from my diet & also use cholesterol lowering milk and margarine products.

Used to like this but.....
I used to buy this cereal but had been making my own meusli for some time. I saw that they had a new formula with barley max so I decided to give it a go again.
I was very disappointed as it is now very, very sweet, not for adult tastes at all!! The ingredients list "Golden Syrup,sweetened cranberries,sugar, and honey" - so if you want to eat a healthy product and avoid sugar, this cereal is not suitable for you.
In fact I would hesitate to call it a healthy product at all!!!!
Contains some good grains.
Excessively sweet - tastes horrible!

New formula has lost flavour
Whilst the Digestive product has benefited from the new lighter formula (it used to be too heavy, similar to a chewy toasted muesli), the Heart product has not. There was previously a nice grainy flavour which has been mostly lost, and the texture is too fine, becoming closer to bran or meal.

HEART 1ST
I was eating rolled oats most mornings as i was told if i did this it would lower my colesterol and it did work for me (no medication). I was getting tried of the same cereal so i tried goodness heart 1st and love it. I now enjoy it every day and never get tired of it.
It keeps my cholesterol under control and tastes so good.
Tastes much too sweet, contains loads of sugar.

Good, wholesome and tasty!
Many people associate the term superfoods with 'it must be yuck' but this cereal taste's really good. I prefer the taste of it better than all other branded muesli's (especially those available in a mainstream supermarket) I have tasted AND it is more nutrient dense. I highly recommend this muesli. Another pro is you can order 6 of these boxes online from their website with free delivery in Melbourne, cheaper than at the supermarket.
Good taste, Good ingredients and Great nutritional value

Best cereal I've ever had, eating it every day for 8 months and counting!
I picked this up thinking it would be another disappointment in my never-ending search for a healthy cereal that also tastes good (which is hard to find in my opinion) My search is over...I absolutely love it and when it is on sale I stock up, cannot go a day without eating it, and am embarrassed to admit how much of it I eat, not just one bowl a day. But alas I am losing weight and working out so it is one of my guilty pleasures, there are way worse things I could be eating too much of. I pray they never stop making it! Upon first glance it ma...
Read morey seem expensive however you are not cheated out of the fruit and nuts like with most other cereals I have tried. The amount of these ingredients is very generous. The variety of ingredients is wonderful. It is worth every cent. Love everything about it...tastes amazing, does not get soggy! Lovely and crunchy, not to mention all the health benefits- high fibre, etc. See the box for info!
I eat the Heart Goodness Cerial every day and I have never been constipated ever since, I eat it more than once a day somtimes for lunch and dinner and it is still delicious.
Watch out for the sugar content - not healthy!!

Bad stomach cramps and bloating
I've been eating the superfoods oats and bought the Heart cereal to have twice a weeks as a break from oats. I couldn't work out why on some days in the afternoon my stomach would bloat up like a balloon and get severe and quite painful cramps. After taking notice with what I was eating for breakfast, I soon realized it was the Heart cereal. No more! The discomfort is not worth it.
Tastes great

This is Yum.
I actually bought this cereal for my husband; however i started eating it and well he hasn't had any as yet.
It is so delicious. In fact it has made me want to eat breakfast which I have bad habit of skipping.
It stays crunchy and every mouthful seems to give you another flavour to enjoy.
Thanks for the lovely review, Caroline. Hope you're still enjoying the cereal, and that your husband has jumped onto it as well! If you have any feedback do let us know via e-mail on our website, www....

where can I purchase Heart & Digestive cereals
Goodness Heart 1st and other Goodness labels used to be sold at Coles and IGA but no longer. When I called the manufacturer some months ago I was advised that Heart 1st was a discontinued item. Perhaps sales were too low. Apparently some other products also contain Barley Max, if that's what you are looking for.
Google thehealthygrain.com and scroll down to BarleyMax Products.
Alternatively, Kelloggs has a breakfast cereal called Guardian with "Helps Break Down Cholesterol" splashed in red across the front. Its available at Woolworths and contains a different choles lowering product.

Try Kelloggs Guardian instead. Its also choles lowering (according to the large red print on the front of the pkt). From Woolworths
Why can't we buy heart anymore?
I have no idea as I am not the manufacturer. You could ask them.
Its apparently unchanged but has been rebranded to Barley+, MUESLI, Cranberry, Almond variety (instead of Heart 1st). The Left side of the pack is labeled Freedom foods, previously Goodness superfoods “. Available in Woolworths & IGA
Have just been advised that this product has been discontinued by the manufacturer.

The Digestive cereal is the same I wouldn't buy it again. It was the only cereal I really felt feeled me up, the flavour is lost and the texture is too fine. Bring back the original product.
