Almond - 2 oz,(J.R. Watkins)

Almond - 2 oz,(J.R. Watkins)I purchased this in the hopes that it would prove to be as flavorful as the brand I purchase from Penzey. It is not. It has a nice smell but does not give that rich almond undertone to baked items that I prefer. I won't bother to reorder or to try others in the line.

Sonoma Syrup Mint Simple Syrup 12.7 oz

Sonoma Syrup Mint Simple Syrup 12.7 ozI recently used this simple syrup to make mojitos. It gives a great minty flavor (and cuts down on the time for muddling the mint leaves). I received my bottle at a trade show, but I intend to buy more as soon as I run out.

Boomi Bar Gluten Free Energy Bars (Pack of 24)

Boomi Bar Cranberry Apple, Gluten Free Energy Bar, 1.7-Ounce BarsI love these bars. It's not easy to find gluten free snack bars that actually taste good. These are just sweet enough, with no added sugar, just honey and dried fruit. The combination of fruits and seeds is well blended. The bars hold their shape [I've tried some brands that fall apart once you open the wrapper] and are just slightly chewy.

I have to be very careful when it comes to Gluten. I am also a mom to two busy kids and need something that I can just grab and stick in my purse. I highly recommend all Boomi Bar products...especially the Cashew Almond and Macadamia Paradise. Very convenient and they taste great.

I bought these the other day as one of the Lightning deals, and I just ate my first bar. Before even opening it, I was pleased with all of the packaging. The box is easy to open, as are the bars.

My plan was to take my first bite and reflect on the tastes, textures, and smells.

I opened the bar, took my first bite, and my eyes popped open as I really tasted it. It was FANTASTIC! So, without any reflection or pause whatsoever, I promptly ate the whole bar one incredibly delicious bite at a time! Then, I thought I should look at the ingredients list, just to be sure. In order, "Pumpkin seeds, Honey, Dates, Raisins, Apricots, Cranberries, Crisp Rice, Amaranth, Salt." Nine, yes, 9 ingredients that all can be understood without a degree in chemistry. I love it!

The texture was fantastic, which is big for me. I just love food textures. The seeds were a nice but soft crunch, accompanied by the nice soft fruits for a great combination!

The taste was out of this world! The pumpkin seeds tasted fresh, and the combination of all the fruits was a PERFECT balance of sweetness to match! These were good enough to satisfy my sweets craving! And look at the nutrition facts! This was a real winner!

In theory, I'd complain about the 230 calories, but really, it's a fantastic and filling snack, so good bang for your caloric buck. The 9 grams of fat I would explain away with the nuts and fruits themselves. They will help to keep you full, and honestly, fat is not a bad thing IN MODERATION. Also, there are fats that are just downright GOOD for you, so don't get upset when you see that.

My plan is to eat 1 bar each day. It's a fantastic snack for between meals, or even to supplement one! I hope you enjoy them as much as I am going to!

I've been buying Boomi bars for a number of years now, before a lot of the other fruit/nut/food bars showed up on the market. There are other good Boomi varieties, but the Cashew Almond is great with some hot cereal and fruit for breakfast, or just as a filling but not-too-heavy snack. These have a nice nutty flavor, plenty of protein, and just the right amount of sweetness.

I was a little concerned that Amazon might have these sitting around in a warehouse for a long time before selling them, but the bars I got were fresh with sell-by dates many months away. It's hard to beat Amazon's price and service!

Want Boomi Bar Gluten Free Energy Bars (Pack of 24) Discount?

I am always searching for a filling yet healthy bar artifically flavored, high sugar bars for me. The Boomi Perfect Pumpkin bar is such an item. These bars contain pumpkin seeds, honey, dates, raisins, apricots, sweetened cranberries, crisped rice, puffed amaranth and salt; hence the nutrition profile is superb. 1 bar = 230 calories, 9g total fat, 2g sat fat, 45mg sodium, 23g carbs, 1g fiber, 3g sugar and 9g protein. One of these bars plus some oatmeal makes a perfect post-workout recovery meal Yum!

Orgran Super Grains Multigrain O's with Quinoa Gluten Free -- 10.5 oz

Orgran Super Grains Multigrain O's with Quinoa Gluten Free -- 10.5 ozI am a Huge fan of this cereal. The fact that it is gluten free, contains quinoa, and tastes great makes me hungry just thinking about it. It has great crunch, and stays crispy in soy milk. It doesn't get soggy like a lot of gluten free cereals, and believe me, I have tried them all. It isn't sweeteened, so I top off my bowl with a handful of organic raisins. Perfection!

I really like this cereal. Eating gluten-free, dairy-free & cane sugar-free it was hard to find a cereal that wasn't just rice. Using unsweetened vanilla-flavored almond milk & a little stevia makes it a terrific tasting cereal. It has just the right amount of crunch for a good mouth feel. This is not Cheerios, and a change of diet forces you to think differently about what can satisfy your tastebuds.

This tasted horrible and had a disgusting texture. After one handful, I couldn't eat anymore and threw away the box.

Oat Clusters and Love - Raisin Almond Crunch - 12 oz pack

Cinnamon Sugar-Free Nut and Flax Granola, 9 oz. bag by Sensato Foods

Cinnamon Sugar-Free Nut and Flax Granola, 9 oz. bag by Sensato FoodsI am always seeking healthy low-carb products, and this one is delicious! It satisfies my sweet tooth, the ingredients are healthy and no artificial sweeteners. And the low net carb count comes from it's high fiber content, which is a definite plus for those of us watching carbohydrate intake. I have tried the cinnamon and the cherry, and I absolutely love both! And, with the high fiber, they are filling. My husband even likes it! Highly recommended!

This is by far the most nutritional granola I have ever been able to find. The flavor is ridiculously awesome! Highly recommend and will continue to buy. Mix with nonfat greek yogurt with extra cinnamon for an awesome treat!

Good for breakfast, nice and crunchy, a little too sweet, but yummy. Only drawback is the serving size is pretty small for the calories.

I am happy that someone is finally making a granola that does not impact blood sugar in a negative way. This granola has a whopping 15 grams of fiber in a full half cup and no added sugar. It would be suitable for anyone watching their sugars. However, it has an odd aftertaste. Good crunch and a great way to add flax to the diet, though. Not sure if I will buy again.
