TeeChia Gluten Free Super Seeds Cereal, Blueberry Date, 10.6 Ounce

I used to always eat Steelcut oatmeal but I am so bored of it, and it doesn't have much in the way of protein. I discovered this product and love it because it has way more protein from chia, flax, etc. and is so versatile! I can't stand flavored hot cereals, they always put too much sugar in it. I love that this is lightly sweet and naturally sweetened so I can dress it up.

I love eating it 2 different ways:

1. I just put a few tablespoons into a smoothie that I sometimes blend in the morning. Its good for extra fiber and the little bits of dried fruit and yummy.

2. I eat it like I used to eat my oatmeal I add hot water, then top it with plain greek yogurt, add chopped bananas for sweetness and nuts.

I saw the other review, and I agree I wouldn't eat it alone, to me it is a healthy base that you can customize however you prefer.

My attitude: if something is healthy, just eat it, even if it's not the tastiest thing you'll eat today, and I eat plenty of things that many others won't simply because it's nutritionally better for me. In those cases, I just power through the blandness and unpleasantness.

And yet, even with that approach, it was hard to eat this stuff. It just isn't good, and even though it's quite healthy, it was still more of a struggle for me than many other healthy-but-not-very-good foods.

It's not horrible no gagging, no spitting, no nose-holding. But its bland, bitter, almost dirt-like taste and texture made me want to just eat it as quickly as possible and be done with it. No enjoyment here, but as far as a fuel that will keep you feeling full for a reasonable period, it can be (perhaps only) that.

I won't buy it again. It is healthy and that's what it's marketed as, but the nutrition is nothing so extraordinary that can't be fairly easily obtained elsewhere. The cinnamon cranberry variety was actually a bit worse, but barely.

I really like it! You have to follow the instructions on the box, it takes couple minutes add water, stir, wait for water to absorb, then add you favorite dairy/non-dairy milk. Tastes pretty good for me with almond milk. It's not really sweet. When I tried it the first time, I didn't like it, but I added a bit more almond milk and gave it another try.

It's a good cereal for me. But I don't think my 5 y.o. will eat it, or my husband. It's more like a cereal for health-concerned adults. :)

Enjoy Life Chewy On-The-Go Bars Sunbutter Crunch -- 5 Bars

I admit I bought a box of these at an Organic Sensitive Aware Health food grocery store, so I expected it to be expensive. However, this one deserves to be an entry in Consumer Reports' last page, which unfortunately I can't remember the name of at the moment. Each month, the last page of CR's magazine has pictures people send in of scandalously absurd ripoffs, ad goofs, typos, etc, such as a picture of a six-inch tall pill bottle with the 1/2 cubic inch of actual pills that came in it --i.e. making the packaging look real big so the sucker customer will not realize the contents are so paltry. Enjoy Life's marketing department did its job well; the box is 5 1/4"H x 6 1/2"W x 1 1/2" D: the actual food item, once you unwrap the (5 1/2" inch long) foil packet is just under 3" long, less than 1/2" wide, & 3/8" deep. I was driving when I ripped open the packet, & almost drove off the road when I beheld the veritable rat-poo dimensions of the bar. Yes, it is sold by weight (5 oz; the things are dense), but the packaging is ridiculously misleading.

Oh, the taste. It's okay; vaguely sunflower seed-ish, merely the barest rumor of a whisper of sweetness or salt; as with most GF food manufacturers, Enjoy Life seems to feel that those of us who must forego gluten, or dairy or nuts or whatever also have no interest in flavor. It does have a nice chewy mouth feel to it, which would have been nicer had there been more to feel.

In a (presumably) unconscious self-satire, in big letters on the back of the box, it says "Still Hungry?" Well yes, and I know several people who would answer same if they ate the entire box of bar-lets, particularly if they'd been expecting something appropriate to the size of the box.

To me, they are just okay. To my 8 year old who has a life threatening allergy to nuts and can't have bars with tree nuts or made on shared equipment with tree nuts, he thinks they are great. He actually likes them and that's what matters. He can have peanut butter (legumes) but all the bars are made on shared equipment with tree nuts! So Enjoy Life is our pricey brand of choice for convenience snacks and granola. They should make a pumpkin seed bar or mix the two. And up the protein for a protein snack bar since that's what the kids who can't have the nut bars need.

I've purchased a few of the Enjoy Life faux-cookie products and although the price and quantity were hard to digest, I thought the taste was more than tolerable. I returned the faux-granola because it was too hard; a bowl of pebbles, literally! But it may have been on the store shelf too long. BTW, you can't see inside the package, or any other Enjoy Life package for that matter. Then, the Perky's Rice Crunch I purchased and enjoyed for months changed, the label had the Enjoy Life logo on it--and 2 ounces less product at a higher price! Okay, the times they are a'changin' and I moved on. Last week I purchased the "Chewy on the go Bars, Sunbutter Crunch." The taste was good; what more do I deserve! However, it was a marketing triumph: four dollars and forty nine cents for 5 diminutive bars, at least compared to the packaging. The bars are about two thirds the size of the foil wrap they come in! Add in the dead space in the box and you got what used to be referred to as "a rip off." In a health food store no one can hear you scream.

We are a household who once held peanut butter near and dear, but due to my youngest child's peanut/tree nut allergies we can no longer have any peanut butter in the house. It has also severely limited the type of bars we can buy. However, Enjoy Life's Sunflower Bars fill the bill! We all love them! They are perfect for lunches and for snacks.

Paisley Tea Organic Decaf English Breakfast, 24-Count

While it doesn't taste bad, it just really doesn't taste much like "english breakfast" tea. It is much closer to a green tea. A real bummer as I was looking for an organic decaf "black" tea.

This is the most flavorful decaf english breakfast tea I have had to date. 24 large teabags too. Great tea!

Golden Temple Natural Granola

I was most pleased with the product as I really love this flavor and it saved me money too. It came 4 days after I ordered it, that was nice surprise as they said it would be a week. I will be ordering it again.

We have been buying this granola for years and love it. Much easier to buy online than at the supermarket if it can even be found at the supermarket (it's only sold in bulk). We freeze most of it and leave out one plastic container for daily use, so it stays fresh for months. Delivery was on time. No problems.

A great tasting granola, I like it with Blue diamond almond milk and honey, all natural, contains no toxic oils.
