N'Joy Oatmeal

N'Joy Oatmeal, Orchard Spice, 8-Count 2.54 Oz EachMy office offered the Morning Harvest & Orchard Spice flavors to its employees briefly a couple of months ago I love them both. I was hoping to get some on my own for those mornings I'm too busy to eat at home. I'm hoping Amazon will offer them soon. I love the separate little packets of sugar, fruit & crunchy nuts to add to the oatmeal to taste. Another plus is the size of the cup big enough to stir the items in once hot water has been added!

Easy and delicious. I love that the mix-ins are in individual packets. No need to boil the water first. It is so fast and good.

MaraNatha Organic No Stir Creamy Peanut Butter -- 16 oz

MaraNatha Organic No Stir Creamy Peanut Butter -- 16 ozLike most people who buy organic peanut butter, I do so because peanuts are heavy in pesticides and I want to provide my family with a better quality option. This peanut butter seemed great at first glance but be careful and read the label. Maranatha makes several types of organic nut butters -but the "no stir" type contains sugar and palm oil.

Granted, it's "organic palm oil", but the palm oil industry is guilty of horrific ecological atrocities, including the systematic genocide of endangered orangutans and decimation of rain forests. (If you google "orangutans and palm oil", it'll break your heart). And palm oil labeled "green" or "organic" is generally considered "greenwashing" it's still grown in palm farms which have replaced vital rain forest so I'm skeptical.

Plus palm oil is not so good for our health. I'm surprised that Maranatha would include it.

Maranatha DOES makes a good quality, tasty organic peanut butter that is a better option than their "no stir" type. It's delicious and has "no additives, sweeteners, chemicals, preservatives or trans fats" and less ethical concerns too. You can find it here on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Maranatha-Pnut-Crmy-Salt-16-Ounce/dp/B00060N592/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1354476981&sr=8-2&keywords=maranatha+organic+peanut+butter

I have tried them ALL even making my own, which would be the best if I could get fresh organic peanuts. In lieu of that, I've been eating this p.b. for over four years. It's great with anything p.b. goes with, even better all alone on a spoon.

Eat and enjoy!

Buy MaraNatha Organic No Stir Creamy Peanut Butter -- 16 oz Now

In the weight control program that I follow, peanut butter is either a "fat" or a "protein". With that in mind, I have tried different peanut butters and have narrowed my preferences down to two brands, Maranatha being one. My reasons:

-Organic: made with certified organic peanuts and if that is important to you, then Maranatha is a great choice.

-Additives: NO hydrogenated oils, NO sugar added; no nothing except for a tiny trace of salt. But, this does not taste salty at all

-Great taste: This should have been first. Maranatha has a mild, mellow, peanutty taste. I really do like it.

-Great texture: truly smooth and creamy. Easy to spread even on soft bread

Hint: This is NOT homogenized; the oil is on the top of the peanut butter when you open the jar. You have to mix it in but, fear not! Stick a butter knife down into the middle of the jar and move it ever so slightly, creating an opening into which the oil can flow. Repeat this a few times and most of the oil will be gone from the top. Stir and then enjoy. You will NOT have to mix again.

Summary: A wonderful way to get those "fat" allowances from a healthful type of fat. This peanut butter has made my weight control easier because I substitute it for far less satisfying fats and it seems as though I am eating something sinfully sensational.

This product has a good taste, it is also fortunate that unlike other brands this seems to be the easiest to spread on toast after taking out of the fridge (though it still is not as easy as it should be and does require patience)

Hodgson Mills Buckwheat Pancake Mix (6x32 OZ)

Hodgson Mills Buckwheat Pancake Mix
  • Buckwheat Pancake Mix are a delicious, nutritious and energizing start to the day
  • It offers many health benefits
  • Certified organic by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA)

I picked up Hodgson Mill's Buckwheat pancake mix at my local grocery, not expecting anything much, but knowing how good buckwheat is for one's health. Wow, was I surprised to find pancakes or belgian waffles made with this taste great, too!

I find that pancake/waffle batter is a wonderful place to hide healthy additions like soy protein powder (add a little water), flax seed, etc. I use organic coconut oil and add fun items like chocolate chips, banana, or walnuts to the batter for a breakfast that makes me (and my whole family) feel upbeat and energetic for many hours into the day, even if I only have one pancake!

Well done, Hodgson Mill!

Its been a long time since I had Buck wheat pancakes and waffles. Just had a desire to try them again. They are just as goods as I remember and this product has a great taste as well as being economical.

My parents always had buckwheat pancakes. My brother and did not know what regular pancakes were. Buckwheat mixes are almost impossible to find in stores. Finding this was a delight. I have given a box to my son in law who also grew up on buckwheats. I will purchase this again when supply is gone.

Living Intentions Superfood Cereal, Hemp and Greens, 9 Ounce

Living Intentions Superfood Cereal, Hemp and Greens, 9 OunceI work out a lot and eat very clean, Vegan, I honestly can say I am very happy I found this cereal. It tastes about 100 times better than I thought it would and it is as healthy as it gets. Your poops are awesome after starting your days with this stuff, Full of protein and at 190 cal per half a cup its very filling. This is the only cereal I eat now, It is the only REAL healthy cereal on the market, Surprised more people don't know about it.

Product: "Living Intentions Superfood Cereal, Hemp & Greens"

Rating: 4/5 (Excellent)

I bought a pint of this yesturday in the self-serve grains aisle at my local Whole Foods store yesturday. I was initially curious because I like to keep informed on new culinary trends, and this was listed as a "raw organic superfood cereal" (one of several), and I was hooked after trying a small cluster.

Likes:

* High Nutrient Density: This cereal is jam packed with a wide assortment of organic sprouts, spirulina, hemp protein, spinach powder, coconut ... and they even use gourmet himalayan salt and organic palm sugar. They clearly didn't skimp on anything when they made this stuff.

* Taste: Flavor and texture wise, try to picture a blend of assorted sprouted & dry toasted cereal grains, hemp protein, GREENSuperFood powder, coconut, and raisins, which are then lightly sprayed with organic liquid palm sugar (to sweeten and bind it together), and then everything is coarsely ground into a dark green semi-chunky granola-like grit. You can either nibble it straight as a dry mix snackfood, or eat it like a classic swiss granola with your favorite milk or non-dairy substitute (ex: almond milk).

* Semi-Sweetness: I liked the fact that this product is sweetened with restraint there's just enough to balance and bind the cereal, and there's also just enough salt to round out and counterbalance the other flavors. Make makers of this product clearly put a lot of effort into getting this blend just right.

Minor nits:

* Bite: As with some raw foods products, this can seem a bit hard and tiring to chew after a while ... until you get used to it. Perhaps not a first choice as a snack mix for people with dental issues.

* Price: As of this writing, my local Whole Foods had this in their loose grains bin aisle for $11/lb ... a bit pricey at first glance, but still reasonable given the high end ingredients that go into it, and surprisingly competitive compared to other premium granola cereals. This is also a very dense cereal 1 cup (about 5 oz), with milk, is a good sized serving.

Highly recommended, if you can find it at a decent price.

this is the best genuinely healthy cereal I've ever eaten. I can't believe how good it is, both good for you and good tasting. Visit the web site when you get your cereal and you'll see lots of low priced great products (no I don't know the people who run it). I was very impressed!

To be honest, when I first looked at it in the bowl, I was not thinking this cereal was going to be good. But I gave it a try and I love it! It is very flavorful and keeps me satisfied for a few hours. I would definitely recommend this.

I ordered this product because I was looking to add some lesser known nutrients to my diet and I was really surprised by how good it tastes! Even my toddler likes it, which is amazing. I realize that some of the ingredients are not regulated by the FDA which means the health claims aren't "officially" substantiated. But, I think we all know that alternative supplements can be very good. In any event, if the health benefits are even 50% of what is claimed, I'm totally happy with it and planning to buy some for my extended family.

Bigelow K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig Brewers, English Breakfast Tea

Bigelow K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig Brewers, English Breakfast Tea, 24 CountI'm not a coffee drinker, I only drink tea. I bought a Keurig just for brewing tea fast. I have tried alot of different English Breakfast tea kcups and they all left an aftertaste. Bigelow is the only one that tastes like fresh brewed tea with a great flavor. This is a super price! I bought 4 50 count boxes so I don't run out too soon. Will be coming back for more.

I bought my Kuerig so I could make iced tea, yes very odd I know. Well I have since moved on to hot tea and wanted a nice english breakfast. This one is really tasty and I was very eager to serve it last time I had a friend over for tea

I'm not sure what details I can give. This is actually one of the cheapest black teas I've seen on the market but my wife and I both love it. I don't know much about tea so my opinion isn't worth a whole lot but my lovely wife is a tea snob and regularly gets her tea from the Japanese stores in town. She thinks this is fabulous, too.

Kellogg's Fiber Plus Antioxidant Cinnamon Oat Crunch Cereal, 11.5 oz. (Pack of 4)

Kellogg's Fiber Plus Antioxidant Cinnamon Oat Crunch Cereal, 11.5 oz.I love this cereal. It is my health version of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, which was one of my favorite cereals. Now, I can have all the flavor of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, with added health benefits!!!!

It's my regular cereal now. Cinnamon is a strong spice so yes it dominates. Too sweet, based on the amount of carbs in a serving its higher than some by two or three grams but with the amount of fiber including four grams of soluble, the net carbs is reduced. Only knock here I wish it was available through the auto delivery service as this price appears to be way too high, its about $4.50 in the local store for one box.

Blue Diamond NutThins Cracker Snacks, Hazelnut, Boxes, 4.25 oz

Blue Diamond NutThins Cracker Snacks, Hazelnut, Boxes, 4.25 ozBouaght these trying to get away from wheat crackers. They are crunchy, REAL crunchy, have a nice flavor and are relatively inexpensive compared to the grocery store.

I bought these crackers on my daughter's recommendation. It is part of my Paleo diet which has been very successful. Not this particular flavor but the Blue Diamond thins in general. Actually I bought a box of each of I think 7 flavors and decided on my favorites which I then ordered in bulk. My favorites? the Cheddar Cheese and also the Hint of Sea Salt. As a snack treat I occaqsionally use various Hummus spreads and also things like a thin layering of natural peanut butter (1level teaspoon can coat 6 crackers) . I recommend these two flavors highly for good taste and texture. If I were reviewing my two favorites, they would get 5 stars.

Millstone Bed & Breakfast Blend Ground Coffee, 10-Ounce Packages (Pack of 2)

Millstone Bed & Breakfast Blend Ground Coffee, 10-Ounce PackagesI will walk a long mile on a cold night to get my hands on this coffee! (Well, maybe not quite, but you get the idea.) Quite seriously, though, we will look everywhere we can to find this. When Amazon offered it as a subscription with a discount we jumped on it. Now they've taken it off subscription we're still giong to buy it. It is, by far, our favorite of the coffee's we've tried. Darker than Millstone's "Breakfast Blend" and FAR more flavorful, it's not so dark that it's bitter (by ANY means). Rather, it is very smooth and YUMMY. I know coffee tastes are very much a personal choice but we sure do recommend you give this a try.

This is my favorite coffee! In my family we grew up drinking Folgers so I never tried other brands. Many years ago while camping some friends brewed some of the Bed & Breakfast blend and I was hooked! It is a wonderful blend. I had a hard time finding it at my local grocer, so knowing & trusting Amazon I gave it a shot. Now I buy my coffee soley from them. It makes a great air freshener in your car too.......well, at least until you get home.

Lavender Syrup

Lavender SyrupI expected the syrup to have a strong, concentrated lavender taste, so that I could use a few spoons to enhance the flavor of my desserts.

But the taste and the smell are really light and can be hardly distinguished unless you consume the syrup by itself.

There was a problem with the packaging. I received the item and three of the six containers were open. I called Amazon and they sent a replacement right away. The second shipment also had three open packages, so I got my six undamaged however, I don't know if I'll order these again.

The actual apricots are quite good despite an occasional apricot pit not being removed. Yes these apricots are untreated and brown in color!

Basically the only problem is the packaging of the product is flimsy and the lids do not secure well. Beneath the lid is a very delicate seal, usually slightly raised with air. Secondly the individuals containers are placed into a divided cardboard box which is slightly too small. This is how I've never received a box that didn't have ruptured seals. My 1st box arrived with 2 of 6 seals ruptured, the free 2nd box arrived with 4 of 6 ruptured. For all my hassle, I only ended up with exactly what I paid for, no more and no less.

That being said, I still rate 4 out of 5 stars because I did eventually get what I paid for, and I do appreciate organic at this price.

Barrys Gold Loose Tea 250g

Barrys Gold Loose Tea 250gThis tea is for real tea lovers who like a smooth no frills robust black leaf tea. I have found Barry's of Cork to exceed my expectations for a wonderful relaxing experience. Make a pot. What you don't drink hot, it's excellent iced.

AFter a trip to Ireland, I came home to my very nice Assam from Peets, but it just seemed bland compared to the rich strong flavor of Irish tea, so I went online and found Barry's. Never going back...

Buy Barrys Gold Loose Tea 250g Now

I'm a daily tea drinker and I like my tea strong, which is why I use loose tea. It is easier to control the strength than it is to add 2 or more tea bags to a pot. Who wants to deal with those strings? And it's nice to have the tea floating loosely within the hot water. Anyway, I had been drinking another brand because of its reputation and the bulk price, but found that this tea also had a good reputation and a better bulk price, so I tried it out. It tastes good, in fact very similar to the other tea I had been using. Maybe a bit more body and flavor, but fairly similar. The packaging is better. It is easier to re-seal and feel confident that the tea is kept fresh. At any rate, I'm very happy with this tea and would recommend it to anyone who drinks tea.

Coffee People Tree Hugger Fair Trade & Organic, 24-Count K-Cups for Keurig Brewers (Pack of 2)

Coffee People Tree Hugger Fair Trade & Organic, 24-Count K-Cups for Keurig BrewersBesides being a great tasting cup of coffee, I like the idea that's it's organic as well as a fair-trade product. It was also a great price and ends up costing only 39 1/2 cents per cup. You certainly won't get anything at the big "S" for that price! My husband and I both like this one and have received our second shipment. We've had our Keurig/Breville coffee maker (which we just love!) for about 6 weeks now and have been ordering all varieties of coffee. Coffee People's Tree Hugger, Jet Fuel, Wake Up Call, along with Paul Newman's Extra Bold, are all at the top of our favorite's list so far. Try it, I'm sure you'll like it!

I drink bold k-cups brewed at 7oz with one cream pod.

I just compared my first morning cup of this coffee with my favorite k-cup, Timothy's Rainforest Espresso, and find the Tree Hugger to lack depth. It has neither the strong coffee scent or taste I desire but it is smooth, with no chickory-like bitterness and not nauseatingly weak like some of the flavored coffees.

Unless my family requests it, I won't buy it again.

Added note: I thought I might be too harsh in my review so today I had Rainforest first and Tree Hugger second. Tree Hugger is a decent cup of coffee and better than McDonald's but still not as good as Rainforest.

My favorite K-cup as been Timothys x-bold rainforest blend, and I think treehuggers every bit as good. For me, a 10oz.cup is strong yet mellow, but usually I make it a 14 oz. (take it plain) which is about the strenght of most restaurant coffees. Good restaurant quality pretty much describes this blend. I love that it's it fair trade and organic, but doesn't specify rainforest alliance certification. That is important to me, enough to spend more money, and drink less. Timothys rainforest is certified and that is enough to sway me to their side.

This is the absolute best tasting coffee I've tried to date and I've tried quite a few of them. I used to think CP donut shop was good, CP kona was a little better IMO, but tree hugger puts them both on the back burner for me.

This was so good I had to get it on auto delivery, which by the way makes this coffee only $17.25 per 48 k-cups or 36 cents a piece, you can't find a cup this good for a better price.

Tree Hugger is good for those who drink coffee black.

If you put cream in your coffee then you may like Santa Buzz better since it is like Tree Hugger but a little stronger.

In many of these reviews people don't say whether they drink coffee black or with cream, etc. Coffee seems to get toned down when things are added to it.
