I love "Food for Life Ezekiel" products. Originally, I was introduced to the bread when on a special diet -an offshoot program of "Over-eaters Anonymous", the H.O.W. program -many years ago. The bread contains NO flour, no sugar, is high in protein and fiber, and, for my taste, is delicious. Actually, I learned that OVER-eating was not really my problem. My problem was NOT eating the healthiest, life-giving, minimally processed foods available. Over time, I learned, relapsed, and relearned, etc. I was thrilled when I learned "Food for Life" added cereals to their product line. In looking at labels at my local health food store, I discovered that this brand was the ONLY cold cereal on the shelves that had NO sugar content! Since then, this is the ONLY cold cereal I buy. It can be served warm, as well. Generally, though, I prefer "John McCann's Steel-Cut Irish Oatmeal" (also zero sugar and high fiber) for hot cereal.Needless to say, the cereal is expensive (but cheap if you consider that you're no longer polluting your body with all the sugar, air, preservatives, and other junk in most commercial cereals), so I was thrilled to find that Amazon.com offered it in a 6-box bundle for a far better price than my local market. I usually have a bowl a day with fresh berries (strawberries are very sweet this year in my area) and slivered almonds topped with light soy milk. I find that when I'm eating really nutritious food, I eat slowly and savor. When I'm eating junk, I tend to "wolf" it down. It doesn't matter why. I just hate that sensation, so I avoid it and my body thanks me every day.
For my taste, I love this stuff andd I think it's worth every dime. The boxes are always stuffed to capacity without the three or four inches of dead space chalked up as "settling due to shipping and handling". I normally add it on top of a bowl of fresh fruit and yogurt and then listen to my co-workers tell me how great my breakfast or lunch looks.
Anyway, I highly recommend Food For Life Ezekiel cereal its very difficult to find more nutrition in a single meal anywhere else!I feel 100% more energized when eating Food For Life Ezekiel 4:9 Organize Sprouted Grain Cereal. I don't seem to want to snack in the afternoons.
This cereal will be a staple in our home.If you're still eating refined flour, sugar, and artificial sweeteners, this cereal (and all the Ezekiel products) will probably taste like granulated styrofoam to you. We train our palettes, for better or for worse.
I have been eating Ezekiel for at least 20 years. I don't eat sugar, artificial sweeteners, refined grains, red meat, or artificial anything, and this cereal tastes sweet and crunchy and nutty to me. I usually eat it with a handful of chopped walnuts, cut up a banana or peach, and add almond milk. It's low on the glycemic index, which is also an enormous plus if you're trying to eat healthy. And it's filling; unlike when you eat those sugary cereals, you won't be hungry in an hour.
When I walk into the grocery store, and 99% of the groceries are all about sugar and carbohydrate addictions and foods all pumped up with chemicals and addictive substances, I feel discriminated against. It's much harder to eat right in this country. I can't even find Ezekiel in most stores. I hope, I hope, I hope they never go out of business!Despite being healthy (I mean really hippy healthy,) this is the most tasty cereal I have found in a long time. It tastes a bit like Grapenuts, but it doesn't hurt your jaw.
