Special K Protein Meal Bar, Honey Almond, 6-Count Bars (Pack of 6)

I tend to have quick breakfasts on the run before work in the mornings, so I often rely on quick, easy foods like bars. However, I avoid traditional breakfast bars, which tend to be high in sugar and have little-to-no protein. Rather, I want something that is going to start my day with a better nutritional value AND contain a decent amount of protein to keep me feeling full longer. The other problem is that it's breakfast--I don't want chocolate! Maybe true chocoholics eat chocolate at any time of the day, but I prefer something a bit more appropriate to the morning hours.

So, after Slim-Fast changed their bars on me (loved their old Oatmeal Raisin Optima bars, but really don't like the new version), I decided to try these meal replacement bars by Special K in Honey Almond. First of all, when I checked out the box, these bars met my nutritional requirements. They have 10 grams of protein, which is almost as much as some bars specifically billed as protein/energy bars. They are a good source of fiber as well, with 5 grams. Also, the sugar is relatively low at 12 grams (just over 2 teaspoons). Finally, although the fat content is a bit higher than I would have liked (6 grams), these bars contain only 2.5 grams saturated fat (no trans fat), so most of the fat is probably healthy fats from the almonds.

Of course, the final test of these bars is the taste: they are yummy! They are chewy, with a pleasant almond-y flavor that is not too sweet (an unfortunately problem that I've found with so many bars I have tried). These have become one of my new breakfast staples, and I definitely recommend them.

This is a great grab and go product for meal replacement. Very tasty! I carry one in my purse for those times when I can't stop for a meal. I also eat them for breakfast quite a bit.

I've tried most of the meal replacement bars out there and Special K's versions are, hands down, the best. This one is one of their best efforts to date. Goes great with a cup of coffee! :)

Just bought these on sale to try them out and i'm in love with them! When it comes to protein bars, I usually don't by that type stuff because I'm not a huge fan of that protein...chalky taste some bars and shakes have. I tried the chocolate chip one and it was so good! Then I saw these & was a little indifferent to buying them because it looked like a cereal bar. And I'm not going to lie, I think the special K cereal bars, Nutri Grain, and a lot of the other cereal bars I've tried are soooooo sweet. Way to sweet for me. But these aren't! They're delicious only lightly sweet :) It's just a huge plus that they're packed with protein so I stay full longer. Get these meal bars if you can!

Bars arrived on time and what I ordered.

Overall, not too bad on taste. The only knock I have is that the almond flavoring, which I love, is not more pronounced.

Otherwise, good value for the price.

It's good, it's pretty good, the wife loves them, my kids love them. But chocolate Peanut butter is cheaper and tastes better.

Pacific Natural Foods Enriched Soymilk Non-Dairy Beverage, Plain, 8.1-Ounce Aseptic Packages (Pack

I am currently deployed to Iraq and this is one of two soy milks that I see and drink on a regular basis, the other being Edensoy. This stuff has a decent flavor, but is a bit chunky when poured into the cereal bowl. I attribute this in part to it being Iraq. Who knows how long the stuff has been sitting on a pallet in the sun. It still tastes good and is great. I only gave it 4 stars because of the soy chunk issue.

As good as any soy milk should taste. Creamy and not too sweet. Less sweet tasting than Silk. I'm lactose intolerant so it's a good alternative. Be sure to shake well as the package indicates. The first time I tried this, I didn't shake it and it had chunks at the bottom. But nothing a shake doesn't fix. I use it for my daily cereal, smoothies and coffees. Love it!

This was a good value for the taste. It doesn't stand out, per se, but it is pretty good for some plain ordinary soy milk at a very reasonable price. No surprises, no bad flavor. Great alternative to regular milk.

I usually drink Silk soymilk and really like the taste, but it's hard to find plain soymilk in single-serving aseptic cartons. I like to put it in my hurricane box every summer so I'll have milk to put on cereal if we're out of power after a storm. I thought this Pacific soymilk would be just the thing, but unfortunately the stuff tastes like latex paint and it has no emulsifier in it, so it separates into liquid and clumps of solids at the bottom. Even after vigorous shaking, I couldn't get them to blend back together, and even if I could, I still couldn't get past the taste.

I think the taste is inferior to Silk but the biggest drawback is the lack of a straw. The whole idea of a smaller container seems to be to create a portable drink but without a straw, what's the point?

Twinings K-Cup Tea Sampler

Our recent purchase of a Keurig has given me the task of finding k-cups that I enjoy. I originally ordered a sampler that had some celestial seasoning and bigelow teas and enjoyed them both; more than I expected. I thought I would try this sampler to see how I liked this brand and was not impressed. Both the Earl Grey and Breakfast Blend I tried were very weak. I checked the expiration dates and they are all still new and fresh. I had my husband taste them to make sure it wasn't just me, and he agreed they were weak.

So I went out and purchased the bigelow Breakfast Blend to try next as I liked their Earl Grey and could tell right away it had a much stronger and more pleasant flavor, especially when sweetened with quality honey.

I don't foresee ordering this brand again and can't recommend it either.

I am never disappointed by Twinings tea. It really is the best. The sampler packs make great gifts along with a teacup:)

I bought this to share with another family that likes teas. Wasn't sure how I would like the Kcup teas, but have really enjoyed them. This sampler has a good selection of various teas.

Received on time. Tea in k-cups does not taste as good as bags that can be steeped. Will not order this product again.
