Choose a chilled yoghurt and muesli portion if you want breakfast ready to eat and can keep it cool until you’re ready to eat. With dry muesli, you decide how much to have and what to add; if you’re mainly after a crunchy option, compare the ingredients, allergens and nutritional values per 100 g too.
Want to eat straight away without putting together your own muesli and yoghurt? A chilled combination portion could suit you if you can keep it cool and the ingredients are right for you. The Zuivelhoeve portion described by Albert Heijn also comes with a spoon.
With dry muesli, you decide how much to have and what to add. To compare products, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends looking at nutritional values per 100 g, rather than relying solely on serving sizes chosen by brands.
If texture is the deciding factor for you, look at the specific Cruesli variety rather than relying only on a claim on the front of the pack. Quaker describes its Zero Sugar Added Nuts & Seeds as a variety with no added sugars and/or sweeteners; check the ingredients and allergens as well.
Choose this if: you want a single breakfast that’s ready to eat and can keep it chilled.
Bear in mind: the yoghurt is already included, so the ingredients and quantity are largely set.
Choose this if: you want to decide how much to have and what to add to your breakfast.
Bear in mind: you’ll need to prepare the portion yourself and add yoghurt or milk if you like.
Choose this if: a crunchy texture matters to you and you want to portion it yourself.
Bear in mind: ingredients and allergens vary by variety; a claim about added sugars doesn’t tell you the whole story.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to eat straight away | Check whether the combination portion comes with cutlery and how it should be stored; the Zuivelhoeve portion described needs to be kept at a maximum of 7 °C. | If I don’t want to measure or mix anything on a Sunday morning, my breakfast needs to be ready to eat. Around 40% of consumers put convenience first. |
| Choose your own quantity | Compare dry breakfast cereals per 100 g, then decide on your own portion; according to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, brand serving sizes aren’t a standard basis for comparison. | I want to choose my own quantity and compare the nutritional values of different mueslis. For around 30% of consumers, that flexibility comes first. |
| Crunchy ingredients | Read the ingredients and allergens for the variety you’ve chosen, even if it says ‘no added sugars’. | Crunchy texture matters in my breakfast, but I want to know which grains and nuts it contains. For around 30% of consumers, that combination is the main priority. |
Manufacturers choose their own serving sizes. As the Netherlands Nutrition Centre explains, this can make per-serving figures misleading when you compare two dry breakfast cereals.
First compare the nutritional values per 100 g, then decide how much you want to have.
A combination portion also contains yoghurt. The Zuivelhoeve variety described by Albert Heijn includes milk, cereals containing gluten and hazelnut, among other ingredients, and needs to be kept at a maximum of 7 °C.
Before buying, check that you can keep it chilled until you’re ready to eat and that the ingredients are suitable for you.
‘No added sugars’ doesn’t tell you anything about the other ingredients or allergens. Quaker lists oats, wheat and nuts among the ingredients in its Zero Sugar Added Nuts & Seeds.
Read the current ingredients and allergen information for the exact variety, and compare the nutritional values per 100 g.

This Nuts & Seeds variety is for anyone who wants to portion out a nut and seed option themselves. Read the latest allergen information carefully, particularly for nuts, cereals and milk.
Start by comparing the nutritional values per 100 g. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends this basis because manufacturers choose their own serving sizes; then work out the values for the amount you actually have.
No. A yoghurt and muesli portion also contains dairy, so it isn’t directly equivalent to the same quantity of dry muesli. The Zuivelhoeve variety described by Albert Heijn also needs to be kept chilled; compare the ingredients and nutritional values of the full combination.
Yes. The claim doesn’t replace the ingredients list, allergen information or nutrition table. Quaker lists oats, wheat and nuts among the ingredients in its Zero Sugar Added Nuts & Seeds; check the information for the exact variety you choose.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack of the specific product. The muesli and Cruesli varieties discussed have different ingredients, so don’t rely on the product category or the information for another flavour.
