Households preparing lunchbox portions

If you want to add the same topping to bread, crispbread or yoghurt for several people, you can portion it out from a jar at home. Albert Heijn lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g jar, with a serving size of 6 g.

Leisure cyclists who enjoy sweet toppings

If you eat bread with Gestampte Muisjes before or after a bike ride, for example, consider both the amount of topping and what you eat it with. Jumbo lists 92 g of carbohydrates per 100 g for this product, but that doesn’t make it ready-to-eat fuel for your ride.

People avoiding wheat or gluten

Check the allergen information on the packaging before buying. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten for this variant.

What should you consider when choosing?

First decide whether you want to portion out a topping at home or need something to eat while cycling. Then check the pack size, nutritional information and allergens on the packaging.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to

Eating before, during or after a bike ride Check the nutritional information per serving and decide whether you want to eat the topping on bread or yoghurt, or need something you can take with you and eat straight away.

Ingredients and allergens Read the ingredients and allergen information on the physical packaging. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten for this variant.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a jar is a multipack

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes in a 270 g jar. That’s not the same as individually wrapped portions that you can pop straight into lunchboxes.

    If you want to use the jar for lunchboxes, portion out the topping at home into dry, well-sealed containers. Check the pack size if you’re specifically looking for individual portions.

    Making up your own portions takes preparation and suitable portion containers.

  • Focusing only on carbohydrates

    Jumbo lists 92 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, but Gestampte Muisjes is a sprinkle or bread topping. That figure doesn’t tell you how easy it is to carry and eat during a ride.

    Think about the difference between a meal or snack before or after cycling and food for on the go. 12GO Biking describes sports nutrition developed specifically for cycling, with a carbohydrate blend tailored to the activity. For your ride, choose a format that suits your route and what you know works for you.

  • Skipping the label

    Albert Heijn and Jumbo list wheat and cereals containing gluten. The packaging information is therefore important if you’re buying for someone with dietary restrictions.

    Read the current ingredients and allergen information on the physical packaging before buying the product or packing it for someone else.
