Nature's Path Organic Whole O's, Gluten Free Cereal, 11.5-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

Nature's Path Organic Whole O's, Gluten Free Cereal, 11.5-Ounce BoxesI bought this cereal after reading all the reviews on here about how great it is as a GF version of Cheerios. Cheerios were a staple in my house before I was diagnosed with CD. While Whole O's are good, the similarities between the two stop at shape. When I had my first bowl, it was a strange feeling because my eyes thought I was eating Cheerios, but i was tasting corn flakes. Whole O's are made from corn and rice, while Cheerios are more oat-based. The Whole O's are, in my opinion, exactly like Nature's Path's corn flakes, except a different shape.

Whole O's are pretty high in fiber and low in sugar, taste fine and hold milk well. As a celiac, I definitely recommend them.

Hope this helps someone.

we love the WHOLE O's....gluten-free and easy on the digestive system. A good finger food for older babies and toddlers....move over Cheerios !!

My kids, my husband and I all like these Os. Finally. After trying everything else on the market, it is nice to have something everyone (celiac or not) will eat. Yum!

Our son is gluten free. It took us a few days, but now we all like these O's. The kids eat them with milk and dry too as a snack.

We also feed them to our baby. They are a bit harder than Cheerios so we have to soak them for a few seconds before we give them to the baby, but they work just fine.

This is not your typical toasted O cereal, it also is nothing like Cherrios or any of it competitors. It is a wonderful whole grain gluten free cereal. Nature's Path in my opinion makes some very tasty cereals and this is no exception. It is my new favorite cereal.

PowerBar Protein Plus 20g, Chocolate Crisp, 2.15-Ounce Bars (Pack of 15)

PowerBar Protein Plus 20g, Chocolate Crisp, 2.15-Ounce BarsThis appears to be a new Powerbar with 20g of protein and 210 total calories. On the first bite, one notices a nice smooth texture, almost like a 3 Musketeers bar, with some crispy bits. It could be considered a bit chalky, but really not too bad. Then one notices that there's an odor which fills the nose, that is a bit off-putting as it doesn't really belong in a protein bar (quite possibly the ingredient maltitol, a sugar alcohol). Maltitol is the second ingredient, after protein.

I much rather prefer the previous Powerbar that had the same name, but had 23g of protein and 290 calories. The old bar has a nice texture, also with crispy bits, more chewy and satisfying, like that of a good chocolate chip cookie (though with a more chocolaty taste). The old bar also has maltitol, but it's the 6th ingredient, and does not have a sugar alcohol aftertaste! I really enjoyed the old bar, but it appears that stores no longer have new stock and are replacing it with the new bar. I'm going to have to go around and buy up any remaining stock, as I suspect that they've discontinued it.

If Powerbar has discontinued the old bar, then no worries, as there are lots of other tasty bars out there. As for your new Powerbar, thanks, but no thanks!

Edit: My body just reminded me that if you're not used to sugar alcohols, they can promote flatulence and loose stools. I had two of the new bars today. Didn't have these issues with the old bars.

Compared to other protein bars I have tried these were very tasty and at 20 grams of protein they are above average in protein content. I think the price is a bit high, but I haven't been able to find it any cheaper at local outlets.

I like the power bar. It does help fill you stomach in lieu of a junk food filler, but I must admit, it makes me a bit gassy and so if you are like me, be prepared for that part. Other than that, I really like these bars. I bought a whole box!

Hodgson Mills Buckwheat Pancake Mix (6x32 OZ)

Hodgson Mills Buckwheat Pancake Mix
  • Buckwheat Pancake Mix are a delicious, nutritious and energizing start to the day
  • It offers many health benefits
  • Certified organic by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA)

I picked up Hodgson Mill's Buckwheat pancake mix at my local grocery, not expecting anything much, but knowing how good buckwheat is for one's health. Wow, was I surprised to find pancakes or belgian waffles made with this taste great, too!

I find that pancake/waffle batter is a wonderful place to hide healthy additions like soy protein powder (add a little water), flax seed, etc. I use organic coconut oil and add fun items like chocolate chips, banana, or walnuts to the batter for a breakfast that makes me (and my whole family) feel upbeat and energetic for many hours into the day, even if I only have one pancake!

Well done, Hodgson Mill!

Its been a long time since I had Buck wheat pancakes and waffles. Just had a desire to try them again. They are just as goods as I remember and this product has a great taste as well as being economical.

My parents always had buckwheat pancakes. My brother and did not know what regular pancakes were. Buckwheat mixes are almost impossible to find in stores. Finding this was a delight. I have given a box to my son in law who also grew up on buckwheats. I will purchase this again when supply is gone.

Pacific Natural Foods Organic Almond Non-Dairy Beverage, Low Fat Chocolate, 8-Ounce Pouches (Pack o

Pacific Natural Foods Organic Almond Non-Dairy Beverage, Low Fat Chocolate, 8-Ounce PouchesThis is a perfect, on the go, refreshing beverage. I love the chocolate flavor. It is nice and rich/smooth without being too rich. This is low fat and has only 100 calories. This is easy to chill and throw in a lunch box or work bag. It is enough for a quick burst of energy without a crash mid-morning or mid-afternoon. I feel good about giving this to my kids since they do not ever get soda or any other junky drinks.

2012 and still as taple in our home. Great organic chocolate milk imitation. Not creamy like milk, but a light chocolate drink like yahoo or chocolate soldier but not as sweet. Sons want it everyday. My whole family loves it. So good ordered 3 cases of 24 on subscribe and save.

Makes great snack by itself, or quick refreshing addition to any snack or meal. fits perfect in lunch box. Part of any healthy lifestyle even great for vegans. **allergy alert made from almonds / nuts

Wow... talk about false and misleading advertising. Anyone in the know, knows carrageenan is considered carcinogenic... aka a cancer causing substance. And what about this "natural" flavor? Hey, arsenic is also "all natural" as is cyanide. In other words, simply because something is called "natural" does not mean it's good for your body.

Sorry Pacific Natural... your products are anything but. And it's a statement about how you try to fool your customers with your misleading labeling. I'll pass.

I'm comparing this to Blue Diamond's almond chocolate drink. It gets bonus points for convenience as the only size I can find Blue Diamond in is 32oz, and these 8oz packages are very handy. As far as the flavor goes it's good, but not as sweet as Blue Diamond (which makes sense since it has 25% less sugar). Initially that turned me off, but I got used to it quickly. I'm marking it down a star though for it's lack of calcium (even though if you look closely at the photo, you can see that it says "excellent source of calcium"---they must have reformulated.)

I was searching for something for my girls' school lunches and wanted a change from milk or juice boxes. They like almond milk, so I thought this would be a nice change. It proved a tad difficult for them to open by themselves and some boxes did not sit flat on the table as other milk brands do (horizon & organic valley). One daughter ended up wearing her milk as a result and it did not wash out of her clothes on a couple occasions. Although it tastes good and the price is right, we won't be purchasing more for lunchboxes.

Cascadian Farm Granola Cereal

Cascadian Farm Organic Fruitful O's Cereal, 11-Ounce BoxesI have bought this product for the last 18 months because it had no sugar and it was great for my toddler. Well what a shock I had when the latest box I purchased said it now contains SUGAR too!! The only organic cereal now out on the market with no added sugar or evaporated cane juice is Barbara's Organic Cereal o's. Make a statement and do not buy this again!! Very disappointed with Cascadian Farm...why ruin a perfectly good no-sugar cereal???

In the past few weeks this General Mills product was reformulated with 3 time the sugar. This change was made without ANY changes to the packaging outside of the nutritional label. This product went from a mainstay for us and our toddler to something we will no longer be buying.

they should probably list this as a separate product from the older 3-gram of sugar formulation, so that this product can have the good ratings it deserves. only 1 gram of sugar and tastes great! i actually prefer the crunchiness of this cereal to cheerios, and it's organic. yum!

This is a very good cereal (hence the five-star rating), but twice I received boxes from Amazon either too close to or past the "best by" date stamped on the top flap. When I received a pack of six boxes three weeks PAST the "best by" date, I complained to Amazon. A rep quickly responded with an e-mailed apology and said Amazon would credit my credit card for the purchase price. (Foodstuffs cannot be returned for health reasons, of course.) I realize the "best by" date is not an expiration, but it takes me weeks to consume 6 boxes of cereal, so I want the freshest product possible.

Post Shredded Wheat ' Bran, Spoon Size, 18-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 5)

Post Shredded Wheat ' Bran, Spoon Size, 18-Ounce BoxesPost Shredded Wheat made with Bran is unique among cereals in that it tastes great and has no sugar added. The bran puts it in a category all its own. There are many store brands of bite sized shredded wheat, but I'm pretty sure only Post makes the bran version. It is healthy, good tasting, and one of our favorite morning cereals.

I can no longer buy Post Shredded Wheat 'Bran locally. I was pleasantly surprised when I found it through Amazon. I like that there is no added sugar and is filling enough to last until lunch time.

I've read through most of the labels in the cereal aisle at the grocery store, and this cereal is the best source of fiber. I eat a bowl every morning with raisins and sweetener. With respect to the yogurt which promises a regular system in 2 weeks. This cereal gently regulates your system within 24 hours. It has kept me as regular as a clock. The subscribe and save price is cheaper that that at my local grocer's. I recommend this purchase.
