MySuperSnack Soft Granola Bites, Apple Raisin, 1.41 Ounce (Pack of 6)

MySuperSnack Soft Granola Bites, Apple Raisin, 1.41 OunceMy 15 month old daughter absolutely LOVES these snacks. She gets so excited when she sees me pull them out of the cabinet. I love them because they are healthy, easy to eat, and come nicely packaged. They aren't in all local stores yet but ordering on amazon.com seems easy enough to me!

They snacks are really healthy and taste great. My kids love them. They are just a little expensive and hard to find.

Post Raisin Bran Cereal, 20-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4)

Post Raisin Bran Cereal, 20-Ounce BoxesAwesome taste. Awesome product. Awesome service. Just awesome! I always loved the raisin bran from Kelloggs and never tried from Post. I have to tell you, try this and you will agree with me. Awesome!

Post Raisin Bran cereal is excellent! There are no trans fats and there is no high fructose corn syrup, either! That's a step in the right direction for me because I need to lose weight! The cereal is tasty, too; the raisins help to make it taste great and it stays fresh in the box for a few months after I open it so there's little chance of this ever going stale before I eat it. There's also very little fat (1 gram) and some protein and fiber that make it healthy to eat. As another reviewer correctly notes, this raisin bran cereal also has iron, folic acid, some vitamin D and vitamin A--and a host of other vitamins in it. True, there isn't 100% of everything you need but nevertheless the ingredients and nutritional value of this raisin bran cereal make it one of the better, healthier choices for people to eat.

I can't really think of too many negatives about this cereal. As of the time I am writing this, you may be able to get this product a bit cheaper at a brick and mortar store near you. I can! The extra little bit you'll pay for this--plus the shipping fee--is what you can choose to pay if you want the convenience of having this cereal delivered directly to your doorstep.

Overall, Post Raisin Bran cereal gives me a healthy start to my day which is critical because I must lose weight. I highly recommend this cereal.

All my life I ate Kellogg's Raisin Bran and a friend of mine pointed out that Post Raisin Bran doesn't have high fructose corn syrup. I decided to try Post Raisin Bran and it is excellent. The quantity of raisins in the cereal far surpasses the other brands I've tried (Kellogg's and Safeway's brand) and it is delicious. Definitely a cereal I like to keep stocked in my house.

I recently switched to this brand of raisin bran cereal because of the simplicity of its ingredients. It tastes slightly different than the Kellogg's brand, but it is no less tasty, and its ingredients are a bit healthier. The only problem I have is that they do not list any preservatives of any kind, and I find it hard to believe they have done nothing to preserve the cereal.

Ingredients: Whole grain wheat, raisins, wheat bran, sugar, wheat flour, malted barley flour, salt.

1 Cup Serving Nutrition Facts:

Calories: 190 (minus 32 calories for indigestible fiber leaves a net of 158)

Fat: 1 gram, no trans fat

Carbohydrates: 46 grams, with 8 grams of fiber

Protein: 5 grams

Post Raisin Bran is fortified with vitamins and minerals, including: reduced iron, niacinamide, zinc oxide, vitamin B6, vitamin A palmitate, vitamins B1, B2, B12, D and folic acid. This provides 2 percent of the daily value of calcium, 10 percent of vitamin D, 15 percent of vitamin A, zinc and copper, 20 percent daily value of phosphorus and 25 percent of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamins B6 and B12 and magnesium. It also contains 50 percent daily value of folic acid and 60 percent of the daily value of iron.

Look for deals... some of them are very good.

This cereal is very good. :)

I'm in my 40's and have loved canned tuna always. I make up big tuna salads and use it in many recipes. I've bought these same HUGE cans of Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna in Water for years, as well as other brands and sizes. I bought four of these and opened one up and nearly threw-up FROM THE ROTTING STENCH and horrific brown, yellow color. A second can wasn't as bad, but it was not smelling right. I wrote Bumble Bee (no phone number to call) and they claim it was "caramelizing" to explain the color, BUT the didn't even speak to the God-awful rotting stench and sheen of colors. It was a bad can, A Very bad can. At $16 + per can, I cannot spend that kind of money with the risk of very bad tuna. Decades of opening cans of tuna, I know what is right and what is not. It shouldn't smell like week-old road kill. SO, purchase knowing there MAY be some other BAD cans out there! Fair warning, that's all. PS, I donated the other two cans to charity with a warning to be sure they were ok.

I had a slight "stumble" in the delivery of BENT UP cans, but received a replacement right away, and must say I was very pleased with this product. I usually purchase another well known brand, but find that this is equally as flavorable. Thanks for a great product!

Carnation Breakfast Essentials Ready to Drink, Rich Milk Chocolate, No Sugar Added, 4-Count, 11-Oun

Carnation Breakfast Essentials Ready to Drink, Rich Milk Chocolate, No Sugar Added, 4-Count, 11-Ounce BottlesI recently purchased the Carnation no added sugar drinks, the "with sugar" version, a 4 pack of Kellogg's version as well. Decided to test drive them all. Label comparison puts Carnation's no sugar added breakfast drink on top. A third the carbohydrates as all the others, fewer calories by far, same vitamin content basically, and Carnation's no sugar version came out nicely on protein. And, here's the surprise, it tastes really good. So why down 20g more carbs, less protein and a lot more calories with Kelloggs or Carnation's sugared version, when this is available. Yum.

Have found this to be a great tasting additional source of easy protein in my hectic day. The screw on resealable cap is very convenient for me if I don't finish it in one sitting.

I am a very picky eater which seriously limits my protein intake. My trainer, yoga instructor, and physician both recommend that I start drinking a protein nutrition drink. Of course, being a purist perfectionist I set out on a quest to find the "best" drink on the market. I literally tried everything, including every powder mix. Oh, I also forgot to mention that I am a "super taster" (lucky me). I have long since deduced that when looking for nutrition bars or meal replacements, go straight to the brands that have been making unhealthy options first. They know what they are doing when it comes to making something taste good. Take EAS nutrition bars versus Snickers nutrition bars. Snickers is in the good taste business and they know how to engineer a tasty treat. For them it is taste first then nutrition chemistry, whereas EAS is chemistry first and taste second. EAS nutrition bars don't even need to be taken out of their packaging to be eaten, since there would be no noticeable difference in taste. Same for this drink, Carnation has been making Instant B'fast forever (at least since the Stone Age when I was a kid) and they know what tastes good. Regardless of the stats, what makes this drink the winner of my taste quest is that it really tastes like chocolate milk. Just to mention a few items, it has "no sugar added" which means that it only has the natural milk sugars...it is NOT sugar free. It is a reasonable 150 calories, whereas most protein drinks are well over 200 (which is a plus for those watching their calories). The bonus is that it provides 13 grams of protein, which makes it competitive with the other drinks on the market.

Purchased this because I fell in love with the regular (yellow bottle) version of this and was buying it in a convenient store at $3/bottle. This version tastes almost the same with no noticeable "sweetener" flavor and saves many calories (due to the lack of sugar, but NOT sugar-free). You may find cheaper in the store (locally was $5.99/4pack while amazon is $22.71/12pack), but the convenience cannot be beat. And my last purchase (March 18, 2012) was good until Jan 2013.

I have this breakfast drink every morning. I only buy the sugar-free variety. I like to mix it with iced coffee for the perfect start to the day.

Runa Amazon Guayusa Tea Box, 1.13 Ounce

Runa Amazon Guayusa Tea Box, Mint, 1.13 OunceThis is by far my favorite guayusa. There's an incredibly solid blend of just enough of the hint of the smooth, clean guayusa taste with a refreshing crispness of peppermint. I have struggled with stomach problems for years and significantly cut down on coffee as a result. The peppermint guayusa is great as peppermint is actually a known stomach calmative. As always the balanced energy effect is exactly what I need for that 3PM pick-me-up.

In a word? Runa Guayuas is cool. The peppermint is my favorite flavor. The taste is simple and delicious without the sometime bitter taste other teas tend to develop if they are steeped too long. What I really like about this product is that even though it has quite a bit of caffeine there is no jittery or jolted feeling after I drink it but just the feeling of being totally awake. I have been substituting this in for coffee especially in the afternoon and I really like it.

I highly recommend giving this product a try! Not convinced? Runa is a socially responsible company who works close with the farmers in Ecuador who grow their Guayusa. Their story is inspiring and this is a business worth supporting!

Cheers!

If you are going to go with Guayusa might as well get the original. Its a lot better and more full body tea than this... oh and also this is more of a Ginger tea than Guayusa, the ginger is overwhelming.

This tea is incredibly delicious! I love that this tea has twice as many antioxidants as green tea, but tastes so much better. Don't be fooled by the fact that it technically has fewer grams of caffeine in it than coffee...it has a lot of the other ingredients that are in coffee, so you get the same energetic feeling as you do when you drink a cup of coffee, only cleaner!

Bob's Red Mill Buckwheat Hot Cereal

Bob's Red Mill 100% Organic Buckwheat Hot Cereal 18 oz.Bob's Red Mill products have all proved excellent. This Buckwheat Hot Cereal is no exception. It is tasty and easy to prepare. I particularly like it with raisins and a dash of black strap molasses. It goes well with any fruit and milk or yogurt. I wish it was more available on local shelves.

Exactly as described, however it took almost two and half weeks for it to arrive. Items have never taken that long when ordering straight through the site. Their product is very good quality and I'll be purchasing through them again.

Nature's Path Organic Toaster Pastries Blueberry Frosted -- 11 oz

Nature's Path Organic Toaster Pastries Blueberry Frosted -- 11 ozConsistently on Amazon, the sugar-coated toaster pastries are cheaper than the exact same item without the sugar coating. Why is the healthier version cheaper? These toaster pastries are too sweet, but would be perfect without the sugar coating.

Carnation Instant Breakfast Essentials Drink Mix, Rich Milk Chocolate, 17.7-Ounce Canisters (Pack o

Carnation Instant Breakfast Essentials Drink Mix, Rich Milk Chocolate, 17.7-Ounce CanistersI've been drinking this since the 70's. The flavors are still great and Amazon has it at a good price. The drawback? Why isn't this part of Amazon's Subscription and Save program. I faithfully but this about every three months and it should be part of that program. How about it Amazon!

I have a sensetive enough stomach that I can't always tolerate solid food and Carnation has become an absolute godsend. Unlike some meal replacement drinks (Boost and Ensure come to mind), Carnation really lacks any kind of synthetic taste. In fact, I love the taste to death instead of previous options I've tried which were just something I had to endure to avoid passing out from not eating.

It's got a great mix of vitamins and minerals that really do make it a meal in a glass. Wonderful product and, from a practical standpoint, it makes you more likely to actually have breakfast since it's so easy to mix up a glass and you can drink it while you're doing other parts of your morning ritual.

I've been buying this stuff since 1967 when you could buy a box of six packets for $.79. I grew up on the stuff....every morning M-F for 40 years....well I miss some every now and then when travelling. I am glad to see Amazon stocks it because it is sometimes hard to find the bulk cans in the local stores.

Sonoma Syrup Vanilla Bean Crush Extract 8 oz

Sonoma Syrup Vanilla Bean Crush Extract 8 ozThis is my favorite vanilla extract for all baking & pastry needs, from cupcakes & pound cakes to frostings & Crème brĂ»lée. I've not seen another vanilla extract that has the beans in the bottle as well (a brilliant combination). I have been baking for my friends and family for years and am most pleased with Sonoma Syrup Vanilla Bean Crush. Unfortunately, I've had to go without recently because the price is much too dear, even though a small amount is used in the recipes. I LOVE this product, but cannot justify purchasing it at this rate (plus the insane shipping). I am rating this product based on the quality alone, not the price or processing.

Absolutely delicious flavor and indispensible for making homemade ice cream and pancakes from scratch.

The flecks of crushed vanilla bean make this special. Best vanilla I've ever used. As others have mentioned, this can occasionally be found at discount stores for about $10-$12. I find it at TJ Maxx and Marshall's Home Store and buy all they have when I spy it.

I found this in Tuesday Morning and gave it a try. The flavor is very intense and you could probably get by with using less in a recipe. I don't want to go back to the grocery store brands but would not be able to use at this price. I paid under $10 for my bottle at TM.

I've been using Sonoma Syrup Company's Vanilla Bean Extract "Crush" for over 5 years and it's the ONLY vanilla extract that I'll use any longer. Intensely deep flavoured, having the added bonus of the actual vanilla bean specks in the extract creates a very visually pleasing end result, and also adds to the intense vanilla flavour. Although this is NOT a concentrate, because of the triple threat: Madagascar Bourbon beans, Tahitian beans and crushed seeds, I find that I can use 1/2 the volume of vanilla required in recipes, with identical results. You need to give the bottle a wee shake whenever you use it, to stir the vanilla seeds "up".

Normally, I buy this product directly from King Arthur when they have their FREE shipping or reduced shipping costs. If you buy this straight up from King Arthur, as of this date, the shipping is $8.00 and the product is $19.95. From THIS vendor, the product is $21.99, with the completely OUTRAGEOUS shipping cost of $$15.99! Say what?!?! Even if I ordered from King Arthur at full shipping cost, I'd save $9.99 (in total) from what this vendor is selling it! Shame-shame!

So, if you Live to Bake, order this from King Arthur. You will NOT be disappointed.

Everything I would hope for in a vanilla extract, but until now I never found it. I won't use any other vanilla. This is the best, truest vanilla flavor, short of buying your own vanilla beans.
