A larger pack of Muisjes could be a good fit if you use the topping regularly at home or share it, but it’s not the same as a multipack of individually portioned lunchbox servings. Enjoy Muisjes after exercise as an addition to food, rather than as a standalone choice if you also want to get some protein: Jumbo lists 12 g of sugars and 0.3 g of protein per 15 g serving of De Ruijter Feest Muisjes.
Fancy something sweet on bread or with yoghurt or quark after exercise? Think about the whole meal, not just the topping. Jumbo lists 12 g of sugars and 0.3 g of protein per 15 g serving of De Ruijter Feest Muisjes; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends combining carbohydrates and protein in food after exercise.
If you use Muisjes at different mealtimes or in lunchboxes, the pack size and whether you can portion it yourself are important. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 270 g and 330 g De Ruijter varieties; a larger single pack doesn’t automatically mean individually wrapped portions.
For these shoppers, the allergen information for the variety you choose is essential. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Pink and White Muisjes and Gestampte Muisjes. When you buy them, read the label on the pack you’re actually taking home.
First decide whether you want to use Muisjes as a topping and whether you can portion them yourself at home. Then check the variety you’ve chosen and the information on the pack.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| The whole meal | Check the nutritional information per serving and think about what you’ll eat alongside the topping. | If I also want to get some protein after exercise, I won’t choose a sweet topping on its own. Around 46% of consumers prioritise this combination. |
| Pack size and portions | Compare the pack sizes and check whether you need individual portions or can make them yourself. | For sharing at home, I want to have enough in the cupboard; for a lunchbox, I want to know how I’ll take a portion with me. This practical way of dividing up portions is a priority for around 36% of consumers. |
| Label and allergens | Read the ingredients, allergen information and storage instructions on the pack you’ve chosen. | If I need to avoid wheat or gluten, the label determines whether this variety is suitable for me. This check is the top priority for around 18% of consumers. |
The 270 g and 330 g packs listed by Albert Heijn and Jumbo aren’t confirmation that the contents are individually wrapped. This matters if you want to take Muisjes in lunchboxes.
Check the packaging before you buy. If you need individual portions, don’t assume they’ll come with a larger pack.
Jumbo lists just 0.3 g of protein per 15 g serving of De Ruijter Feest Muisjes. If you also want to get some protein at that meal, this topping alone won’t be enough.
Decide what you’ll eat alongside the Muisjes and check the nutritional information for the variety you’ve chosen.
Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Pink and White Muisjes and Gestampte Muisjes. If you avoid wheat or gluten, check the information on the pack you’re buying.
Read the ingredients and allergen information on the label every time you buy them, even if you already know the variety.
Albert Heijn and Jumbo list De Ruijter Muisjes in 330 g packs and Gestampte Muisjes in 270 g packs, among other options. Choose according to the type you want to use, the pack size and the label for that specific variety.
This larger pack is a good fit if you want to use pink Muisjes as a topping and can portion them yourself at home for different mealtimes.
