Bewley's Special Blend Fairtrade Tea Bags 80's

Bewley's Special Blend Fairtrade Tea Bags 80'sThis is my favorite tea and I highly recommend it to any socially conscious black tea drinkers. I first fell in love with Bewley's Tea (the green box version) while traveling in Ireland. I brought some home with me and then started special ordering from an online tea importer. Later, when I saw that Bewley's had a fair trade blend, I was thrilled! I love this tea just as well as the green box version and am so happy to see that Amazon has it too.

If you are a tea drinker you owe it to yourself to give this tea a go. If you do, you will never go back to the supermarket tea on offer here in the US. This is what tea should taste.

McCann's Artisan Collection Instant Oatmeal, Madagascar Vanilla Bean with Honey, 8-Count Packets

McCann's Artisan Collection Instant Oatmeal, Madagascar Vanilla Bean with Honey, 8-Count PacketsI was a little skeptical in purchasing this product, as some other flavored oatmeals I've tried in the past have had a strong artificial flavor to them. That is not the case with this oatmeal. The vanilla and honey flavor is so tasty and natural, I am thinking this could be a healthy solution to my nightly sweet-tooth cravings. There are 140 calories in each packet when made with water. It took approximately 90 seconds in the microwave, and doesn't have the chewy stuck-in-your-teeth-for-hours texture of other oatmeals. I was already a fan of the somewhat nutty taste of McCann's oatmeal; with the added flavor of Madagascar vanilla and honey, this is my new favorite breakfast (and just maybe dessert). I came back to this page on Amazon not just to write this review, but to order more. I have a feeling this box will be empty quickly!

I have recently switched over to the McCanns oatmeal and I love it. I eat the cinnamon one every day but like to mix it up once in a while. I bought a box of this to try.

Its not overly sweet and definitely has a natural vanilla taste to it. I like it but its not something I would buy again. There is a weird gritty feeling which could be the little vanilla bean seeds, but its not fun to eat.

The other reason Im giving it 4 stars is because the first bag I pulled out of the box was only half filled. The rest so far have been filled normally.

I am sure there are many people that will enjoy the taste of this Irish Oatmeal. There is nothing wrong with it, just not my taste.

We bought some oatmeal that was suppose to be instant from Costco and it was from the same company but we had to cook and cook and cook the stuff before it would be edible. Needless to say we returned it to Costco. I really didn't want to spend 20 minutes in the morning cooking oatmeal although the oatmeal itself was really good. I saw this on amazon and thought I'd give it a go. This stuff IS actually instant and took a whole 70 seconds to make in our microwave and it turned out great.

like regular oatmeal better. Do not especially care for flavor. McCann plain oatmeal is tastier to me. Okay if you desire more exotic taste.

South Beach Diet Good To Go Cereal Bar, Peanut Butter, 5-Count (Pack of 8)

South Beach Diet Good To Go Cereal Bar, Peanut Butter, 5-CountI must say the whipped peanut butter bars are amazing and only 100 calories but the Protein Fit Peanut Butter bars that I used to love are not very good at all anymore. They are not horrible but they are nothing like they were. They just don't taste as peanut buttery anymore; more cardboardish than they used to. They are also much smaller. I am operating under the assumption that there used to be a lot more calories in that thing than 140 because it's much worse and smaller now for the same amount of calories. This is very disappointing because that bar used to be my favorite. I was so excited when it came back that I ordered 8 boxes. Disappointment!!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Usually when I look for a protein bar, I look for something that is lower in calories in fat. However, many of the leading brands that are high in protein also contain well over 200-300 calorie. The only bar that I have found that is lower in calories is the Pria bar, and that bar is quite small and has only 5 grams of protein and 1 gram of fiber.

Pros:

-Only 140 calories and 5 grams of fat; fits my breakfast calorie goals perfectly.

-Contains 9 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber which helped keep me full longer.

-Easy to grab and toss in your purse or carry with you when hunger strikes.

-Tasty for a protein bar; there was a little bit of a grainy texture as there is in most protein bars, but the peanut butter flavor was strong, and the bar was crisp from the crispy rice cereal. There was also a drizzle of peanut butter on the top for peanut butter lovers.

Cons:

-There is a slightly grainy texture to the bar which is to be expected from a protein bar.

-You can't keep them in your car on a cold day. I discovered they were as hard as a rock.

So, weighing the pros and cons, would I purchase these again? I think I would. I did give them four stars rather than five because there is a slightly grainy texture to them, but overall, they fit my nutritional goals and needs.

Additionally, my one-year-old son stole my first bar. I left it unwrapped on the table and came back to find him eating it, so it's safe to say my children will like it too. If my children will eat something healthy, I'm sure to buy it!

Buy South Beach Diet Good To Go Cereal Bar, Peanut Butter, 5-Count (Pack of 8) Now

I bought this item because I had eaten the original peanut butter protein bar for years, but was sad to see it discontinued, and really happy to see it out again. I ate one and noticed immediately that it tasted totally different. I reside in Canada so I know that south beach was owned by Kraft and this was definately not kraft peanut butter. Sure enought I looked all over the bar and its not made by kraft anymore. Not only that, but its loaded with sugar and carbs which the old bar was not. This was made to be a low carb high protein bar originally and now its just another granola bar. Wont buy again, and am disappointed that this new company would put the South Beach name on a product that is nothing like the original.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I really wanted to like this bar, but it failed in many ways. Too much soy, not enough peanut flavor, and basically not tasty at all--more like cardboard, really. It took everything I had to choke it down. The carbs are way high at 16 grams and the sugars are 7 grams, while the protein is only 9 grams. Wow. Nasty. There are better protein bars out there.

Want South Beach Diet Good To Go Cereal Bar, Peanut Butter, 5-Count (Pack of 8) Discount?

I love the taste and texture of these bars. However, I liked them a lot better when I could buy them at the grocery store in the "cereal bar" isle for $2.oo to $2.50 a box! They suddenly disappeared, then reappeared in the protein bar isle, at about double the price! I honestly don't see a big difference in the nutritional value of the bar, just a big difference in the price! That's why I ordered them on Amazon, cuz they are slightly cheaper that way, but not enough to make me want to order them again. Amazon did a great job with order/delivery, my frustration is with South Beach.

Erin Baker's Ultra Protein Granola Power Crunch,Peanut Butter n'Honey 12-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 6)

Erin Baker's Ultra Protein Granola Power Crunch,Peanut Butter n'Honey 12-Ounce PouchesI absolutely love granola! And this stuff is great. I'm a runner and I love the fact that this granola not only taste great, but has the added protein, which you don't normally find in granola. I can't find it locally so I always buy it from Amazon and in fact subscribe to have it delivered on a regular basis. On a side note, my 3 year old daughter loves it as well! Enjoy!!

This product is wonderful. Very tasty! Good price. Hard to find anywhere in the stores and when I did, it was almost $2 more a bag, than I paid on Amazon.com.

I recently began a weight loss program and found this in a TJMaxx (of all places). I wanted something that would make yogurt taste better. This more than met my requirement. It's fantastic!!! Now my morning yogurt tastes like I am having dessert for breakfast. I was really happy to find it through a google search at Amazon and I just placed my first subscribe and save order. Now I can keep it everywhere!

I was not sure how a peanut butter granola would be with my yogurt or as a cereal but I was more than pleasantly surprised. The flavor is mild in the peanut butter category, small in cluster size and not too hard or soft. Excellent!

This is an excellent, nutty tasting granola. I would especially recommend for those who don't want to bite into pieces of nuts. The pack of 6 doesn't last long in my house.

Earth's Best Organic Sesame Street Letter of the Day Cookies, 5.3 Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

Earth's Best Organic Sesame Street Letter of the Day Cookies, Very Vanilla, 5.3-Ounce BoxI know these are meant for little kids, but I'm an adult and I seriously love these cookies. They're crunchy but not -toocrunchy, and they're not crunchy in a really dry way if that even makes sense. They're sweet but not -toosweet. They're just fantastic!

Note this is not a rating for the item. If I wasn't mad as h*ll, I would have thought this was some kind of bad joke. The seller (diapers.com) advertized the item as a pack of six. I ordered two packs and the seller sent just two boxes (which i could have purchased in a grocery store for a lot less). The product description was probably an error, unless it was an intentional misrepresentation. Please do your DD before you order.

These cookies are just delicious...PERIOD. They just so happen to be organic. And they just so happen to be vegan. And I don't have any kids...these cookies are for ME!!!

I try to limit processed sugary foods in our diet, however these are my favorite treat to give my son. They are fairly low in sugar and he likes to ask the letters on them. These are the only food item I have purchased in the baby isle at the grocery store... I think they are fresher from Amazon... and cheaper too!

Envirokidz Organic Leapin' Lemurs Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cereal, 10-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

Envirokidz Organic Leapin' Lemurs Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cereal, 10-Ounce BoxesLeapin Lemurs GF cereal is like Peanut Butter Panda Puffs and Koala Crisp mixed together, except it is all puffs. It is pretty expensive at my local grocery store. I end up paying a whole $2.00 more than on some of the other envirokidz cereals. I ate this cereal once and it was good, and I'm glad that envirokidz came up with this chocolaty, peanut butter cereal. But as it is so expensive, I just buy Peanut Butter Panda Puffs and Koala Crisp and mix them. I do wish that Leapin' Lemurs had the same amount of chocolate and peanut butter puffs, but us Celiac's can't be too picky. I hope you choose to enjoy Leapin' Lemurs! :)

I am an 18-year-old Celiac who recently discovered this cereal. I ADORE it. It's perfect for kids as well as adults. I find myself constantly craving it--if I had even an iota less of self-control, I would probably eat nothing else. I look forward to my mornings just so I can consume my daily allotted amount of Leapin' Lemurs. :-)

My kids love this cereal. It has the peaunut butter puffs like "Panda Puffs" with about half as many chocolate puffs. If you like "Panda Puffs" and you want a little chocolate flavor added, this is perfect.

This is a great product and is the only GF/CF product I've managed to get a visiting autistic child (who is not on the GF/CF diet) to eat. As this child "stims" frantically after he eats his usual wheat/sugar and milk laden favorite junk food cereal, his father is now finally considering having the child try the GF/CF diet (hallelujah!). Our daughter who is also autistic (you'd never know it, she has strictly followed the diet since toddlerhood) enjoys the Envirokidz GF/CF cereals. Their chocolate rice cereal is another favorite of our entire family. This product goes with us whenever we travel.

Want Envirokidz Organic Leapin' Lemurs Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cereal, 10-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) Discount?

I've tried most of the EnviroKidz products and love them, even though there are no kids in my house. They're a great, trusted brand in the gluten free community and they always deliver products that have great taste that anyone loves along with a nutrition panel and ingredient list that doesn't scare you.

Leapin' Lemurs is a classic peanut butter / chocolate combo that stays crunchy in milk longer than the average cereal does. It reminds me quite a bit of captin crunch cereal, only healthier and gluten free. I do wish the box was a bit bigger at only 10 ounces, but no complaints worth taking a star away from this great product.

Amazing Grass - Green SuperFood Orange Dreamsicle Drink Powder

Amazing Grass Orange Dreamsicle Green SuperFood box, 15-CountI was really surprised by the good taste of this mix. The only downside is that it is grainyat least, it is for me, but I simply dump a packet in water and stir it in. Perhaps using a blender and adding ice would lessen the graininess of it, but I bought it in the individual packets for the on-the-go convenience. I make green juice or green smoothies nearly daily, so I'm quite used to a much "greener" taste than this providesthis is actually quite sweet and I consider it a treat! I'm going to reorder this and keep it on hand.

I've tried the non-flavor, chocolate and berry but this by far is the best! I don't think I will buy any other flavor from now on.

I got the lemon/lime, chocolate, and this orange cream. The orange cream is the best by far. I love it with some almond milk and honey. If you try any of them with water they aren't going to taste good, but I can tell you I feel better after drinking the Green Superfood shakes for a few weeks. These are well worth the price and easy to make taste good if mixed well. Or, just suffer a little and feel great after.

I use this product regularly. I love it. After drinking it, I feel a nice sense of clarity without the wired feeling that caffeine gives. I always feel better after drinking it. As these kind of products go, this one tastes very good.

I tried this product with water and although I could taste the orange part of it, I couldn't get past the texture. But then I tried using about 1/3 cup of low fat greek vanilla yogurt and about 1/2 cup of water and blended it. It came out great! The yogurt gave me the feeling like it was a smoothie and the taste was really good.

Starbucks Veranda Blend Blonde K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig Brewers

Starbucks Veranda Blend Blonde, K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, 16-CountI have a Keurig in the office for guests (and myself) but I learned that most of my guests prefer a lighter roast than I do. After tasting the Veranda Blend, I found it was light, but very aromatic and you could still add sugar and cream and it was very similar to a good restaurant coffee. So when supplying choices of blends for guests, I'm including Veranda as a milder blend for those who don't like French Roast or Sumatra or other bold blends. I find that there is a bit of woodiness, but also a slight flavor of nuts and cocoa. It's a pleasant blend of coffee and a very good cup if you don't want something awfully strong. Some lighter roasts are acid to me, but this one seems to be balanced.

I was so hoping that Starbucks would come out with a mild blend for k cups. Starbucks has exceeded my hopes. This coffee is delicious. THANKS STARBUCKS

Buy Starbucks Veranda Blend Blonde K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig Brewers Now

Brewed on the 10 oz. setting on my Keurig Platinum brewer, the first thing I noticed was the very nice, enticing aroma. Could this possibly be the perfect K-cup? I had to have a sip before I even sat down. In that first sip I tasted some strength, some choclate and nutty overtones, followed by a smoothness I don't typically find in a Starbucks blend.

For the most part I don't drink Starbucks for several reasons. First and foremost, they tend to over roast their beans and the result is an overly strong and somewhat bitter brew. This Veranda Blend "Blond" brew isn't roasted so darkly and finally I can taste the real flavors in the coffee. This coffee actually reminds me of what a good "Donut Shop" coffee used to taste like; before everything became darkly roasted. But I stray... The first sip as I said was very inviting with lots of interesting flavors and a lively yet balanced acidity. As the coffee cooled in my cup the flavor changed a little. It became more woodsy and earthy but with a bit more acidity. Still a good cup that comes close to my favorite K-cup, Millstone's Fog Lifter. Foglifter is a blend of both dark and light roasts in which the flavor doesn't change as the cup cools, the first sip is as good as the last. The acidity is always balanced whereas with this Veranda Blend the acidity becomes slightly more pronouncd.

I usually prefer a light to medium roast in the morning and throughout the day. In the evening I like to relax with a darker roast or better yet with a real espresso (which sadly cannot be made in a Keurig). My verdict for the Veranda Roast is that it will fill the bill for my everyday coffee if and when the Millstone Foglifter either isn't available at a reasonable price or is out of stock.

The price you pay for this good Veranda Roast is, well, the price, and this is my reason for the deduction of a star. Starbucks has long been priced higher than other coffees and the Veranda is no exception. This is only a 16-count box which means we're paying right at a dollar a cup. At the Keurig website I can buy Foglifter for around sixty-two cents per cup when it is in stock. Am I being cheap? Maybe. I just don't find Starbucks to be worth the extra money just to have the brand name.

I don't usually drink Starbuck it's way to acidic for me. But someone gave me a gift card and I got the Blonde. It's very Good. On Amazon it's almost twice what you would pay at Walmart. 12.98 for 16 cup's there.

Want Starbucks Veranda Blend Blonde K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig Brewers Discount?

After trying this new roast at the store and loving it, I was thrilled when I was offered a free sample of the k-cups to try on my office machine.

Same as the store brew, mellow taste (to me that means no burnt after taste) and a high caffeine hit. I am not a coffee aficionado so I cannot tell you about the cocoa or toasted nutty flavors that they tout. What I can say, is that if you are looking for a simple blend that will give you the morning or afternoon kick that you need without leaving an acid stomach burn, try this coffee.

Yes, it is expensive as compared to brewing your own coffee from store bought beans in your Mr. Coffee, but that is the point. You are brewing a fresh cup in the comfort of your own home without having to get out of your fuzzy slippers or in some cases, brushing your teeth.

Treat yourself to a luxury and stop complaining.

Roland Kaniwa, 5-Pounds

Roland Kaniwa, 5-PoundsI'm not going to pretend to be an Incan grains connoisseur, but I can say that I grew up in Peru and was raised with Kaniwa. This, my friends, is not Kaniwa; it's Kiwicha. People tend to confuse these quite easily and often even mix the two( I've seen many packages labeled Kaniwa/ Kiwicha). When I purchased this product, I was expecting the flour Kaniwa that I was used to. I got the grainy Kiwicha instead. Personally, I don't like Kiwicha, but I know there are many people that do. I'm not here to critize the product, but I am here to point out an unfortunate confusion.
