LYO says:
Add this fruit mixture in your porridge and let the sour cherries, apple and strawberries make it an unusual meal. It gives you a positive energy for the rest of your day! In our pouches there are no artificial additives, no extra sugar, no palm oil and no preservatives! Our products are made from 100% natural ingredients, only fruits and veggies and some of them are growing on our own fields.
Our Verdict
LYO have tried to take a different route with their meals focussing on natural, fresh ingredients and no preservatives or artificial additives. They proudly cultivate some of the fruits and herbs on their own fields. Other fruits and herbs as well as vegetables come from farmers known to them personally. All ingredients are carefully verified to ensure that their products meet the highest quality standards.
The majority of the meals use interesting combinations of natural ingredients with chunky vegetables, authentic flavours and more of a home cooked approach. We’ve been lucky enough to test a variety of them and have always been impressed with the end results. Generally, we appreciated the good combinations of flavour, texture and portion size.
The full line for adding water to the packs is novel, with a blue area from the bottom showing how much water is required. It is quite a subtle design feature that can be easy to miss and some form of internal indicator would be best, but it still works.

STAFF'S TASTE TEST - “A perfect addition to porridge or a cold breakfast, but it is also lovely as a crunchy snack. It’s nice to get some fruit on trial, even if dehydrated. A nice lightweight addition that can add variety to your meals.” |
