BuyWell 100% Fair Trade, Organic Coffee Blends, 12-Ounce Bags (Pack of 3) GROUND

BuyWell 100% Fair Trade, Organic Coffee Blends, 12-Ounce Bags GROUNDOur household only buys Fair Trade coffee, and as many will know it can be difficult to find much selection. I am SO happy to have found BuyWell! To start with, it's just great coffee there's a good range of milder to darker roasts, and so far every one I've tried (three different blends) has been fabulous. Add in the fact that it's Fair Trade AND Organic, and I'm even happier and to cap it off, the bags I have seen are stamped with the Green E (the company buys 100% certified renewable energy). I don't think I need to look any more we have found our coffee supplier!

I have to say, however, that I'm a little surprised at Amazon's prices I can get four different blends in my local supermarket (HEB, in Houston, TX) for $6.99 per 12oz bag I'm surprised Amazon can't beat this. I'd love to put this on my Subscribe and Save list but while the prices are so much better in-store I think I'll stick to buying it there. I'll quickly add, however, that this coffee is worth the Amazon price if you can't get it elsewhere! Give it a try you won't regret it.

UPDATE (May 11, 2013) I'm now having a much harder time getting this product in stores, so internet sources seem to be my best bet. Even now, when I'm paying a bit more than I was, this coffee is worth it :)

My fiance and I really enjoy BuyWell Coffee, this pack is great! The Screaming Monkey is my favorite with the bright flavor really gets me going in the morning! And the Blackbird makes a great espresso my fiance loves it! We only support Fair Trade coffees and we have really loved the selections from this company and so glad We can get them on Amazon.BuyWell 100% Fair Trade Organic Coffee Blends, Whole Bean, 12-Ounce Bags (Pack of 3)

While I appreciate the coffee itself, I was under the assumption I was ordering the three types mentioned in the product description. Unfortunately what I got was 3 DECAF, all the same. Please put up a more accurate description if this is what customers will be receiving.

All three varieties were delicious, with their own distinct flavor and aroma. One minor quibble: I had to regrind one bag due to whole beans still floating about. Other than that, a home run and a pretty good value.

Special K Low Fat Granola Cereal, 19.5-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 5)

Special K Low Fat Granola Cereal, 19.5-Ounce BoxesLower fat granola usually tastes lacking, and are sold generally at organic food stores, which are inconvenient and more costly. This product tastes great, particularly for a national-brand granola. You'll have to shop carefully on price, because the current prices I'm seeing on Amazon (4/1/2010) is exceptionally high. But, if attainable at a good price, it's a great granola.

I am not especially fond of cereals and only eat the Regular Special K which I like a lot.

So I was pleasantly surprised when I recently discovered the low fat granola ones as they are, really, delicious cereals!

I mix it with the Regular one and that is even better!

Conclusion : nothing else to say but SIMPLY DELICIOUS!

Difficult to find in supermarkets though, maybe because it is a new product, but we are lucky to have Amazon!

Anyway, I highly recommend this product and advise everybody to, at least, give it a try.

Buy Special K Low Fat Granola Cereal, 19.5-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 5) Now

My criteria for a good breakfast cereal:

1. Low fat(I usually don't like more than 3 grams of fat per serving)

2. Low price (I usually look for cereal on sale for no more than $3 per 15-16 oz box)

3. Healthy and filling (not overly sweet or chemically fruity. Also I like it oak-y (as opposed to flakes" and bulky/chunky. So I gravitate towards granola type cereals. It is a little on the sweet side for my taste, but not over-powering (I removed 1 star for it, but it's more of a personal preference kind of thing. I'm guessing this might not be too sweet for other people).

So, this cereal is 4 to 4.5 stars for all criteria. Although I would like a little dried fruit in it, I definitely am not complaining. It has a great taste and is very filling. Also good to snack on right out of the box. If you get this on subscribe and save, it's $3/box (and each box is a bulky 1 lb + 3.5 oz Awesome)! This cereal normally goes for over $5/ box in NYC when it isn't on sale, so this is a real bargain.

My whole family loves this stuff and it is great to add to things like yogurt. Just make sure you get a good deal on it and don't eat it like cereal as it is pretty dense and has a lot of calories when eaten in same quantities as cereal. A little goes a long way.

Carnation Instant Breakfast Essentials, Rich Milk Chocolate, 10-Count Packets (Pack of 3)

Carnation Instant Breakfast Essentials, Rich Milk Chocolate, 10-Count PacketsOur household is one of madness on regular mornings. Our family is closeknit and loving, but with everyone heading off in different directions and leaving at different times, it can sometimes turn into a mad rush. Tempers can flare and chaos has been know to raise it's ugly head.

Carnation Instant Breakfast Drink has actually helped much to calm the chaos. We put milk and a packet in the blender, push the button, and there ya have it! BREAKFAST! On hot mornings I allow the kids to add ice cream which helps them to cool down a bit, and still have something nutritious.

It's probably not the nutrional equivalent of bacon & eggs, but I know that the kids are at least getting something for breakfast. For me, that's good enough!

My 2.5 year old toddler is a very picky eater and has always been off the graph since he was 9 months old. Till January 2010, he was only 22 lb when he should have been closer to 30 lb. We decided to try Breakfast essentials in the morning and evening (about 4 to 6 ounces of milk). It has worked good for us and our toddler has gained around 2 lb in the last 1.5 months. Our pediatrician has recommended that we continue with it till he is 3.5 years old and if the improvement continues, he should be back on the graph.

I would recommend this product for any parent who is looking to improve their child's weight as weight is always a determination of a child's developmental growth.

Carnation Breakfast Essentials is great if your short for time, but want to get some nutrition before heading out. I selected milk chocolate and enjoy it's taste. My only regret is that I didn't get the assorted flavor pack. I've tried them all and enjoyed each. Next time I will get the assorted. Adds a little variety.

All flavors of this product are excellent. My wife needed to gain weight after surgery and the nurse recommended making smoothies using these flavors, plus milk and ice cream with strawberries or bananas etc.for a delightful and healthy drink. They are great. A banana goes great with either the vanilla or strawberry. Using real, or frozen strawberies with the Vanilla makes a strawberry drink. I highly recommend these.

Quaker Soft Baked Bars, Banana, Nut, Cinnamon Pecan, 35.5 Ounce

Quaker Soft Baked Bars, Banana, Nut, Cinnamon Pecan, 35.5 OunceI have had the banana nut before and loved them. I ordered this one that included the Cinnamon Pecan because it sounded like my favorite coffee cake. It was fantastic! By now you know I love carbs, but these only had about 140 calories per bar.

I would buy again. The only downfall is you are tempted to eat the whole shipment.

Heinz Baked Beans 415g 12 Pack (England)

Heinz Baked Beans 415g 12 PackGood vegan-friendly baked beans in a tomato-based, rather than brown sugar and molasses-based, sauce. Nicely spiced, relatively simple baked beans, the way they were meant to be. I haven't found a better price for them in America, than Amazon's subscription service by the case.

They're less sweet than other kinds, such as the Heinz Vegetarian Beans usually sold in America, and have about 35% fewer calories due to having less sugar. The can I have lists 90 calories per serving, 3 servings per can.

Strange "how to play with this food" suggestion: corrupt your basic beans by adding chunks of green pepper, onion, green olive with pimento and/or (yes, really) radish. The sauce for these beans works well with all of the above. I grew up, in the days before ramen, considering a small can of baked beans heated with sliced radishes mixed in, to be an excellent budget dinner. (Hey, if they work with tacos at Mexican restaurants, WHY NOT with beans?)

And yes, they do make a good breakfast, served over toast, perhaps with some sauteed mushroom slices. As I'm vegan, I've had to be creative at breakfast, when all my friends are eating egg and cheese dishes.

Important: Don't have these in your carry-on when going through an airport gate, no matter how handy of a quick snack they seem to be, with most even being packed with a pull-top lid. There has been no sadder sight to me than having to head to the gate with my cans of Heinz Beans sitting on top of the x-ray machine as "confiscated goods" because of the liquid they contain, ahead of a 20 hour trip. (!) That said, they work well for train journeys, because they taste nearly as good cold as they do warm, and unlike other kinds of canned beans, don't need to be rinsed before eating.

Product arrived very timely and well packed, with a generous (may 2008) use by date. Customer service from supplier was excellent.

knew what I was ordering and the beans were still good but they arrived in dented cans. I believe the company is checking how they are packing for shipment.

Spectrum Naturals Walnut, Refined , 16-Ounce (Pack of 12)

Spectrum Naturals Walnut, Refined , 16-Ounce
  • Description: WALNUT OIL,REFINED Quantity: 12 Size: 16 OZ Brand: SPCTRM
  • Attributes: Kosher, (Please check the manufacturer's details for contents as we are unable to guarantee ingredient details and they may change without notice).

I don't use this for cooking I use it for making my own oil paints. I'm an artist who goes to extraordinary lengths to purify my oils. So I start out with the Spectrum walnut oil, and refine it further, until all the alpha-linolenic acids are gone. The alpha-linolenic acid, aka 'mucus', is what makes an oil painting turn dark. I learned this from reading Reuben, et al, accounts of common studio practices in the 1500 -1600's. Makes great hand-made oil paint. Probably good for cooking, too I just never tried it for that. Smells good.

Buy Spectrum Naturals Walnut, Refined , 16-Ounce (Pack of 12) Now

Spectrum Naturals Walnut Oil, refined, is a very mild oil. I can't detect any walnut smell or taste any walnut flavor at all. Maybe that's what you want in some cases, though I was hoping for a more nutty flavor like raw walnuts.

It does have the advantage of having higher Omega 3 content than most oils. Also most oils that are high in Omega 3 (like fish oil and flax oil) have a strong taste which you probably don't want on your salad.

Unlike some of Spectrum's oils, it is not organic.

Kay's Naturals - Better Balance Protein Cereal Honey Almond

Kay's Naturals Better Balance Protein Cereal Honey Almond -- 9.5 ozThis cereal was not as good as I expected based on some of the positive comments. To me, the honey almond flavor could be a little more enhanced. The cereal does, however, hold up in milk. Don't think I will buy this product again.
