Every family has their favourite in regards to food, for us it is Soreen. We all love it and enjoy every mouthful.
So what is Soreen?
For all of you who don’t know, never seen it or have never tried it – Soreen is a fruity malt loaf; soft and sticky, extremely tasty, surprisingly nutritious and even more surprisingly low in fat. I have heard people referring to is as “sticky bread”, “black bread” or fruit bread”.
Soreen has been baking fruity malt bread for 75 years now. The original recipe one is still the same but there are a lot of new additions to the Soreen family:
- Soreen Limited Edition Chocolate Malt
- Soreen Lunchbox Loaves
- Soreen Toastie Loaf
- Soreen Snackers
- Soreen Banana
- Soreen Apple & Sultana
- Soreen Snack
- Soreen sliced
- Soreen Cinnamon & Raisin
- Soreen Fruity-Five
- Soreen Go Bar
That’s a great choice and everyone can pick something for themselves. Different flavours and different sizes of loaf – perfect for every snacking occasion, from the family breakfast where we can all share one loaf to single serving’s for the school lunch box.
From this huge selection of Soreen goodies I have found a few new favourites myself. One of them is the Toastie Loaf. The main reason I prefer it just a bit more over others is the fact that is it not messy. It comes in a big pack, already pre-cut into thick slices perfect for toasting. I don’t have to spend 5 minutes trying to cut it into perfect slices, which is only possible with original loaf after years of practise (don’t get me wrong I still love the original loaf as well, but I’m not always in the mood for sticky bread wrestling… sometimes I just want to eat… now). Also because of its size it makes a perfect toastie… hence the name of the loaf I guess 🙂 and with a bit of butter… yummy… I think I just made myself hungry again…
The second product which in my opinion deserves special recognition is the Soreen Snack. This is Soreen for lazy people and I sometimes belong to that group (don’t deny it, you do to). A Soreen Snack equates to two slices of Soreen fruity malt load, already buttered and neatly packed in a single serving wrapper. This is a perfect product for when you’re on the go. The packet itself is small enough to fit into your handbag, backpack, or even your pocket so you can retrieve it and munch away whenever needed. Perfect as an energy booster at home or in the office when you pushed for time and every minute counts. It is also great as an emergency snack in the car… imagine you are all stuck in a traffic jam, which seems to be every journey now a day’s, wishing you had something to eat… a Soreen Snack is just perfect for those moments, I know I have the T-shirt…
The third product which I would like to describe in more detail is the Soreen Lunchbox Loaves. These are mini loaves of original or banana flavoured Soreen. A Multi-pack contains five individually wrapped bite size loaves. Each bar provides less than 100 calories and less than 0.3g saturated fat. These are perfect for school lunch boxes or just as a quick snack. Again, this product is an ideal choice for an “on the go” snack, when we need a quick energy boost or just fancy a small bite.
Taking into consideration all the flavoured Soreen available like Soreen Banana, Soreen Apple & Sultana and Soreen Cinnamon & Raisin – I have decided that the banana one is my favourite. We tried them all when they first came into our local shop. We bought one each just to check them out and see if they are as tasty as the original one… surprise, surprise they are. What is the most pleasing thing about them though, they really taste of the fruits stated on the pack. Soreen Banana is much lighter in colours and tastes like squished bananas… again yummy, and again I am hungry…
I never tried the Soreen Chocolate… I have no idea how I could have missed that one! Yet obviously, I did. A fact that will soon be rectified, trust me.
An added bonus about Soreen – you can buy it almost everywhere. Every supermarket or food store chain stocks it… ok they may not have the full selection, but they will always have something from the Soreen family.
And if you are a fan of Soreen you might want to follow them on Twitter @SoreenHQ; where at this moment they have a fantastic competition - win a year’s supply of Soreen! Wouldn’t that be just awesome!
So, are you a Soreen lover? Which one is your favourite?
