Radix produces a couple of ranges in their breakfast meals and for most people the single serve Radix Nutrition Breakfast − Original 400 v9.0 options will be the main ones they will opt for. In our case we found that unless you are doing big days of hiking, we can quite comfortably share one meal between the two and feel reasonably full. This range is quite large consisting of nine options although you are unlikely to find the full range in any one store. In fact the stores that do stock them will cherry pick the range so you may struggle to find some varieties outside of Radix. To date we have taste tested four of the range and will work through the rest over the coming weeks.
The full range includes the following flavours with the ones we’ve taste-tested in bold:
Radix Nutrition Breakfast − what did we think?
Apple with a hint of cinnamon without being overpowering. You can see the green apple pieces in this offering. Our favourite of the bunch to date
Banana – Tastes like Banana Paddlepop which was a bit of blast from the past!
Blueberry – Still to taste test
Chocolate – While we could taste the chocolate it was a bit on the mild side
Coconut – Still to taste test
Mango – Very mild mango taste to the point of being a bit bland
Mixed Berry – Still to taste test
Strawberry – Still to taste test
Vanilla – Still to taste test
This range average around 400calories per serve with each offering containing 21 grams of protein which is a big help to getting your daily allowance as well as providing a good slow release energy source for what is typically a breakfast but there is nothing stopping you from enjoying these meals for lunch or dinner.
The recommendation is to add 100ml of liquid which can either be water (hot or cold) or milk. We opted for hot water given we started our testing process in early winter so wanted a bit of a morning warm up. Radix makes it easy by putting a marker line on the back of the packets. I’d suggest you start with less than recommended and add more if the result is a bit gluggy.
Cost wise these meals sell for AUD $8.90 RRP for a single serve packet. As far as a porridge goes this isn’t a cheap meal but it will depend on how you value you time and if you can share between two as we did, the cost becomes a little more reasonable.
I certainly had my favourites and of the four that we’ve tested so far the Apple and Cinnamon is our favourite but who know this may change once we work our way through the full the range.
You can purchase the Radix Nutrition Breakfast − Original 400 v9.0 from Snowys, Wild Earth, Wildfire Sports or Radix Nutrition (8 Packs Only)
