Glutenfreedas Cranberry Cashew Honey Granola (8x10.5oz) ( Value Bulk Multi-pack)

My grocery store stopped carrying this brand of Granola and I was very upset. Was so glad when I found it on Amazon. Tried different brands but it just wasn't the same. As far as Gluten Free goes, this is the best and may even beat all the others as far as I am concerned. I would highly recommend it. I usually add raisins, chopped pecans and some ground flax seed to make it even better and eat it with almond milk.

Quaker Oats Oatmeal, Old Fashioned, 42-Ounce Containers (Pack of 4)

My family eats Ouaker Old Fashioned whole rolled oatmeal almost every day for breakfast but it can be served differently every day. Some days we'll have it with frozen blueberries (thawed, of course) or mixed berries. Other days we'll have it with sliced bananas or peaches or apples and cinnamon. Ocean Spray Crasins 12oz are really good with a little sugar or Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, Granular, Individual Packets, 700-Count Box. In the fall we often add pumpkin pie spice or nutmeg and cinnamon. A little sweet molasses is good too. Walnuts, sliced almonds or hazelnuts add a whole new dimension. The variety is only limited by your imagination.

I prefer Ouaker Old Fashioned Oats over the Quick cooking oats because the Quick Oats tend to be more mushy in consistency while the Old Fashioned keep some of their shape after cooking. And it doesn't take that much longer in the microwave. For a single serving 3 minutes is just about right and 2-1/2 minutes works too. If you prefer to do them on the stove it's about 5 minutes. I put it in the microwave while I'm making coffee.

I don't like breakfast cereals with a lot of ingredients, especially ones that I don't recognize. Ouaker Oats have only one ingredient: whole rolled oats. Along with some iron, riboflavin, and thiamin, it has 4 grams of fiber per half cup serving (that's about a cup when cooked), 2 grams of soluble fiber and 2 grams of insoluble fiber. It even has 5 grams of protein. At only 150 calories per cup cooked, it's a bargain if you're trying to lose weight. There are no added vitamins or minerals, all of the nutrients are naturally occurring. Many of the cereals that you see on the store shelves have lots of added vitamins and stuff that sounds like chemicals. To me that just means that they've refined and processed out so many of the good things that they have to artificially add them back in. (like enriched flour in some breads). If I want non-naturally occurring vitamins I'll take a vitamin pill, I don't want extra things added to my food, thank you. I also don't want a jolt of sugar at breakfast time which messes with my blood sugar levels for the rest of the morning. Just a cup of Quaker Oatmeal keeps me feeling full until lunch and the fiber helps keep me regular.

The price, compared to other prepared cereals is a bargain. Amazon changes prices from time to time, so watch and order it when the price is low. Subscribing will also save you some money. Remember that when cooked and absorbs the water you add, the volume is twice as much. I don't think you can beat oatmeal when you factor in the nutritional benefits like fiber for a good filling breakfast.

Ordered the 4 pack and when i got it all four containers had their bottoms collapsed. To make things worse, this item doesn't qualify for returns. Containers have flimsy bottoms, and at least in my case none of them survived the trip.

I was going to make a video review, but then i thought who wants to see a guy holding up handfuls of oatmeal?...

Save yourself the headache do not order.

Buy Quaker Oats Oatmeal, Old Fashioned, 42-Ounce Containers (Pack of 4) Now

My husband likes to eat a lot of quarker oats for breakfast, and we used to go to the grocery store for it almost every other week. Ordering online is more convenient for us, we get the same product and the price is better.

Read Best Reviews of Quaker Oats Oatmeal, Old Fashioned, 42-Ounce Containers (Pack of 4) Here

Quaker Oats has been in business since the 1850s (per their website) so we know they sell a quality product. We've eaten Quaker oatmeal for decades both the little instant flavored packets when we're in a hurry and the old fashioned slower cooking type when mornings aren't so rushed. We buy it because it's healthy, inexpensive and filling. These old fashioned oats cook up creamy and chewy, with lots of fiber. Add some jam, maple syrup or brown sugar, and some raisins or chopped walnuts to the top before serving, and you have a delicious and stick-with-you breakfast you won't feel guilty about. It's a great alternative to sugary cereals and it puts something warm in your stomach on cold mornings.

I'm confused about some of the other reviews on this product regarding the price. When I bought this oatmeal (sold by Amazon, not a private vendor), it was $11.92 for four 42 oz. canisters. That works out to $1.13 per pound with free SuperSaver shipping. If you choose Subscribe and Save, the price drops to .96 cents per pound with free shipping. At Walmart this week, Quaker oatmeal in a 42 oz canister sold for $2.98, which is $1.14 per pound. Not only is it cheaper per ounce when sold by Amazon, but you don't have to go get it using your gas and car.

I've ordered this 4-pack several times and love the value and wholesomeness of it.

Happymorning, 4.22-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 16)

Happymorning Super Banana, 4.22-Ounce Pouches

I have 3 children under the age of 8 and work fulltime, so we are always on the go. The Happymorning product line has helped us immensely, not just in the mornings, but for afternoon snacks as well. It is an easy way for my kids to grab a healthy snack while completing homework before we rush out the door to afternoon practices. It is also an easy snack to toss in their lunchboxes and I do not have to worry about what they are eating while at school because they are not going to trade away their favorite snack! The Super Banana in particular is my childrens' favorite they often fight over the last one!

I have a medical condition that I can only have baby food or the consistancy of it.

I am active, this is the perfect replacement of my own creations at home. So when I am out and about, I am not stressed about food and makes my life so much easier..

Thank you!

Nature's Path Organic Hemp Plus Granola, 26.4-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6)

I am a big fan of the granola and this packaging makes it an even better value. The bags are not hard to deal with at all, I just chip clip them at the top once they're opened. The granola itself: It stays crunchy for a long time in milk, not too sweet, no wheat in it, loaded with health benefits. No fruit or nuts, so I add my own to taste. This is on my short list of products I can't live without.

We stopped using this product for the amount of sugar in there.

It's not plain Sugar but ***organic evaporated cane juice AND organic oat syrup solids AND organic molasses*** so it's too sweet and more importantly not so very good on blood sugar levels so not a great option as a breakfast as blood sugar will be affected all day.

Too bad, b/c we did like the product. Hope they change it to a less sweet version soon.

I probably eat to much of this granola. I switch between the hemp and pumpkin varieties. The subscribe and save price is unbeatable. It's great with milk, yogurt and even water, yes water. Warm water and honey turn this into a nice breakfast when camping. I also add chocolate hemp protein with milk or yogurt and have some for desert. It's also just a great dry snack. I often take it when I'm on the run. Most of my friends have fallen for this granola too. I don't know why but the clusters are the best part. Try it and you'll agree.

I keep wondering when I'll get sick of eating the same granola almost every morning, but it hasn't happened yet. Every time I try another cereal I end up wishing I was eating Hemp Plus Granola. Yum! Healthy without tasting like cardboard. Crunchy without feeling like gravel. THE perfect granola! Perfect in soy yogurt, soy milk, or straight out of the bag.

Delicious and good texture.

Perhaps too sweet. Second ingredient: Organic Evaporated Cane Juice

Hemp is the sixth ingredient, and cannot very well be tasted, though the amount may be enough for its nourishment.

Go Raw 100% Organic, Chocolate Granola Cereal,. 16-Ounce Bags (Pack of 2)

I have been raw for over 3 months now and I am always looking for creative ways to satisfy my crunchy sweet tooth. Go Raw Chocolate Granola really fulfills my need for chocolate and crunchy cravings! All the ingredients are organic and the seeds/nuts are sprouted to help maintain essential enzymes. Is it really crunchy? Yes. To hard to chew, No. (Well not for me. I always let me granola soak in my nut milk for a few minutes anyways. I found the agave/chocolate ratio was just right as this granola is not to sweet or chocolaty, it is just about right.

I usually have two ounces at a serving which gives me eight servings for the entire bag which comes to about $1.25 per serving for the two-package 16 oz bag combo. For raw food, that is really a decent price. And I love the fact I get free shipping with Amazon Prime.

The fact that it is Gluten free is awesome as I am always trying to avoid gluten.

I have tried the Apple Cinnamon Go Raw Granola and really prefer the Chocolate flavor.

Happy Raw Eating!

I love this product and have been using it regularly for 2 years. Originally, I bought it when I was trying to eat mostly raw food and wanted to make some blender drinks to take with me to work. While I have moved away from the mostly raw food diet, I still use this product several times a week. I put it in a Blendtec blender with chocolate flavored coconut milk or chocolate flavored whole grain rice milk and in 20 seconds I have a very healthy and great tasting breakfast drink that I consume on my way to work. I cannot comment on how it tastes when consumed in other manners, however, I think it tastes great when mixed in a blender with a healthy chocolate flavored milk. I really like the fact I can get this from Amazon on their autoship program as it saved me 30% 40% off the local health food store price and it gets delivered to my door every month.

I Love this stuff. Can't get enough. I didn't love it at first, but Now its the best thing ever! It is a bit pricey and I am going to make my own and buy Go Raw in a pinch.

Really wanted to like this, and the chocolate cookies, after reading the reviews. Did not like them at all. Honestly, they taste a little like dirt, nothing like chocolate.

I have only been eating more healthy foods for two months and this did not bother my taste buds at all. Its really good alone or like cereal with almond milk.

Nature's Path Organic Hemp Plus Instant Hot Oatmeal, 8-Count Boxes (Pack of 6)

This oatmeal is extremely filling and has a hearty consistency, impressive for an instant oatmeal, I know.

The flavor is somewhat bland, which allows one to be creative with add-ins! (I prefer to add raisins, dried cranberries, and/or cinnamon to mine).

The nutritional information is great, especially the plant derived Omega and added whole flax seeds, but I wish there was less added sugar in it though.

All in all, I am happy this is my breakfast every morning, as I get myself off to a healthy start each day!

I personally really like this flavor, it's not sickeningly sweet but has a little something extra, a nice richness to it. Almost a hint of nuttiness i'd say, as one other reviewer already noted.

I do try to mostly eat plain oatmeal as I am trying to get my sugar intake down as much as possible. No more sugary-sweet breakfast bars for me! Since I can't stand plain yogurt but i think oatmeal tastes fine without all the added sugar, this is one area in which I try to eliminate it. Plus I like to add a handful of freeze dried blueberries & strawberries into my oatmeal so that adds a few grams of sugar right there. However, this is a nice option to have for those days when I am craving something a little different. The sugar content, at 6 grams, is a few grams less than most flavored oatmeal which seem to come in around 9-11grams so I will allow it into the rotation once in a while.

I do suggest taking the time to chew this very well since there are whole seeds in it, something that I failed to notice until I prepared the first packet. I may have passed on this flavor as I did the flax plus flavor had i noticed this at the store, because your body cannot process whole flax seeds. So take care to chew those little suckers up good else they pass straight thru your system and you miss out on their wonderful health benefits. I actually have a bag of ground flax seed that is in a re-sealable package that i keep stored in the fridge, it keeps fresh for several months and it's easy to add a spoonful of this into your oatmeal or cereal.

It's true. If he doesn't get his delicious breakfast oatmeal he freaks out. So we buy it by the case and everyone stays happy. It's a better price than our local grocery.

This is a great, easy hot cereal with plenty of fiber and other good stuff. Despite all the added seeds, the flavor is still basic enough to support add-ins like dried fruit, brown sugar, honey, etc. It's also good plain and will keep you satisfied all morning. I also like this brand's cold cereals.

Almost every morning I reach for the Organic Hot Oatmeal Hemp Plus. It has more body than the typical grocery store instant oatmeal. It is rich in whole grains and full of fiber. It is not too sweet; I usally add a teaspoon of my favorite sweetener. I highly recommend this product.

Oskri Coconut Bar with Almond, Gluten Free, 1.8-Ounce Bars (Pack of 18)

These are excellant in flavor, but the packaging implys it contains almonds which it does not....it contains almond flavor

I have several boxes of these coconut bars. They work for me on several levels. First, it doesn't matter which one I pick upthey're all good. They give great sustained energy; they're not overly sweet. And they're all delicious. They also have a really long shelf lifecoconut is a very stable form of fat.

These bars are simple and delicious, but the name is a bit misleading. There aren't actually any almonds in them! There is, however, natural almond flavoring. Other than that, they are light, sweet, and almond-y tasting.

YUM!

My roommate bought a few of these for my Christmas stocking. he bought a coconut and pineapple and coconut and almond. They are both fantastic!! I love these bars. They aren't overly expensive and the taste is wonderful. I was a little skeptical at first but really enjoy them. They are a little sweet, but not overly sweet. They are gluten and lactose free and are vegan ans well as organic. I would recommend these to any coconut lover.

These bars are really delicious. I crave them now. I love the coconut with almond flavor. I got them because they were on special. I had never heard of them. Now I'm in need of another box :-)

I got a 2nd box and they were different than the first, not as good. I think they changed the formula.

Strawberry Rhubarb Sugar Free Jam

Although I liked this jam, it's probably not for someone not used to sweetners other than sugar. I would have given this 5 stars if it had been sweetened with "splenda"

We were disappointed with the preserves...they were too thin and runny. Putting it in the refrigerator did not help. Wouldn't order again.

Living Intentions Cacao Crunch Super food Cereal (6/9 oz)

Living Intentions Cacao Crunch Super Food Cereal IS super food! The ingredients are raw and varied, coming together for a sensational eating experience. Most cereals I've tried always made me feel sluggish and lethargic--whereas Cacao Crunch always makes me feel great, fueling my body for the day ahead. And, the taste is simply wonderful. I love the chewiness too. Cacao Crunch can be eaten alone or with Pacific Rice Milk; either way it's a wonderful way to start the day.

Non-GMO Chocolate Soy Butter- 6 Pack

I first found this soy butter at Whole Foods years ago, but WF eventually stopped carrying it. I've been buying it direct ever since, but am happy that it is now readily available via Amazon, where I hope more people will discover it. It is delicious on toast, on cut up fruit, or just straight out of the jar for a little chocolate treat.

Fabulous for folks who want to add a yummy protein boost to a healthy diet. Add to your oatmeal, granola, Greek yogurt or just put on celery for a nice midday boost! Just by the spoonful is pretty good too (healthy chocolate fix!). Have also tried the cinnamon sugar version, which hubby really likes.

I was first introduced to this product while in another state visiting a relative. Since I could not find it in my area I began ordering it directly from the producer. Because I primarily eat vegetarian, this product was a perfect addition to that lifestyle due to its purity and protein content. And did I mention the taste? This chocolate soy butter is so delicious it will not disappoint!! It has the most wonderful flavor and texture. My favorite use of is it daily on warm toast but love it also on apple or banana slices. It's also hard to resist directly out of the jar! No matter how you use it you will be back for more and more. I'm so happy it is now available through Amazon. It's truly a special treat and so healthy too! You'll love it!
