How good is Pronutro - really?

['Dale]

Added with some sliced banana, how much vooma can Pronutro offer?

 

Is it a good enough substitute for the ol' toast with peanut butta?

Pro nutro or Jungle Oats thats the only two that works for me.

Tried different things - always seem to end up going back to Pro Nuro - wholewheat plain for me.

I'm not a serious cyclist but I've found Pronutro to work the best for me. I also use Xylitol (health reasons), and I find it works perfect.

 

The idea of bannana I should try.

I found if you shred the cardboard box and chuck the contents in the bin it comes in the box tastes better.

Interesting story: Many years ago my father was the food scientist in charge of developing pronutro. It was originally intended as a product for the blacks (under the old regime) that would prevent malnutrition having all essential dietary requirements included. It was tested on thousands and thousands of rats who were starved to the point of death and then fed Pro-nutro. My father quit a t some stage due to issues with killing the rats. It was a complete failure - the blacks never liked it and they had a product they could not sell. They then modified the recipe a bit for taste and marketed it to the whites. It was then successful.

You can see what the kids on the Hub were fed when they were sub-adults. Daar is niks wat by slap pap, melk en heuning met 'n stukkie regte plaasbotter in kom nie. Ek vlieg my eie voorraad mieliemeel in Nigeria toe.

Glad to know I have better taste than rats! The marketing that worked on this 'white' was the little plastic thingy they put in it and then the cards you had to cut out and collect.

 

My cousin used to mix his to resemble concrete setting before he would touch it. I prefer amore runny consistency, but the milk must NEVER be seperated from the pronutro - we have standards after all in Africa!

Yes. For real. Round about the year 1970-1975. The company's name was Foodcorp.

I still remember when Pronutro was used to market the Jurassic Park Movie on the boxes and you had to cut out the Dinosaurs from the flaps, I still have some of them.
