For a post-workout snack to share, choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes 270 g if you want the crushed texture. If you’d rather share a larger bag and whole Muisjes will do, a standard 330 g variety is an alternative, not a like-for-like replacement. Use Muisjes as a sweet topping; if you also want protein after an intense workout, consider the whole snack.
If you’re exercising again after a tough or long workout, think about the whole snack rather than just the sweet topping. The Vereniging Sportvoedingsexperts Nederland discusses carbohydrates as part of recovery after exercise; Muisjes are not a high-protein snack on their own.
You want to sprinkle Muisjes on bread, crispbread or yoghurt and decide how much to use. In that case, the amount per serving matters more when choosing than the weight of the bag alone.
For several servings, the difference between 270 g of crushed Muisjes and 330 g of standard Muisjes matters. The larger bag is only suitable if whole Muisjes work for the snack you have planned.
First decide whether you want crushed or whole Muisjes to share. Then consider how much each person will use and what else is in the snack.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who should consider this? |
|---|---|---|
| The whole snack | If you also want protein after exercise, consider what else you’ll eat alongside the Muisjes. Jumbo lists 2 g of protein per 100 g for standard De Ruijter Muisjes Blauw & Wit. | If I’m exercising again soon after a tough workout, I don’t want my snack to consist of sweet topping alone; around 42% of consumers prioritise the make-up of the whole snack. |
| Sugars and portion size | Compare the nutritional values per 100 g with the amount you actually serve. Jumbo lists 79 g of sugars per 100 g for standard Muisjes Blauw & Wit. | If you like adding something sweet but want to control the amount, portion size is what matters most; around 33% of consumers give it their highest priority. |
| Texture and bag size | Check whether the pack says Gestampte Muisjes or standard Muisjes: Jumbo lists them in 270 g packs and 330 g varieties respectively. | For our shared snack, I want enough to go round without compromising on the texture we want; around 25% of consumers put shareability and texture first. |
The 330 g bags of standard Muisjes listed by Jumbo contain whole Muisjes. The 270 g Gestampte Muisjes have a different texture.
Read the full product name and choose the larger bag only if whole Muisjes suit the snack you’re sharing.
Muisjes are a sweet topping. For the standard Blauw & Wit variety, Jumbo lists 2 g of protein per 100 g; that tells you little about the make-up of your whole snack.
If you also want protein after exercise, consider what else you eat and drink with the topping.
When you’re sharing a bag, it’s harder to tell how much each person is having. The Voedingscentrum advises limiting how often and how much you eat products with added sugars.
Serve the topping in portions on bread, crispbread or yoghurt, and use the nutritional information on the pack to compare quantities.
According to Jumbo’s product information, De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes contain wheat starch; wheat and cereals containing gluten are listed as allergens.
Check the current label each time you buy them if you need to avoid wheat or gluten.
Jumbo lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g pack alongside standard Muisjes varieties in 330 g packs. This makes the product type a more important distinction than bag size alone.
These standard 330 g Muisjes are suitable for a snack to share or for portioning out as a topping. Don’t choose them if you specifically need the crushed texture.

According to Jumbo’s product listing, the Blauw & Wit variety contains 92 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, including 79 g of sugars, and 2 g of protein. These are standard Muisjes, not Gestampte Muisjes. Check the current label if you need to avoid wheat or gluten.

Not if you want your snack to include protein as well as a sweet topping. In that case, use the Muisjes as part of the snack and consider separately what else you eat and drink, especially if you’ll be exercising again after an intense session.
