Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, Chocolate, 14.7-Ounce

Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, Chocolate, 14.7-OunceI purchased this cereal because I had eaten it on a trip to Mexico and had trouble finding it in the states. I thought the price was a little high at $10 a box but was purchasing it as a present for a friend.

The package arrived and the cereal was crushed into little pieces. The box the cereal was in was completely damaged (though the outer packaging was fine). Not sure if it was the way Amazon packaged it to ship (it was put in a box with a very large book and no padding/packing peanuts) or if the cereal is like that in the warehouse.

Regardless I would not purchase this product again it's not the same when it is crushed into little pieces.

N'Joy Oatmeal

N'Joy Oatmeal, Orchard Spice, 8-Count 2.54 Oz EachMy office offered the Morning Harvest & Orchard Spice flavors to its employees briefly a couple of months ago I love them both. I was hoping to get some on my own for those mornings I'm too busy to eat at home. I'm hoping Amazon will offer them soon. I love the separate little packets of sugar, fruit & crunchy nuts to add to the oatmeal to taste. Another plus is the size of the cup big enough to stir the items in once hot water has been added!

Easy and delicious. I love that the mix-ins are in individual packets. No need to boil the water first. It is so fast and good.

Kellogg's Special K Protein Snack Bars, Chocolate Peanut, 6 ct

Kellogg's Special K Protein Snack Bars, Chocolate Peanut, 6 ctThe Special K "Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Snack Bars" are VERY good tasting treats. While not diabetic friendly due to the high sugar content (11g out of 14g Net Carbs), these are much better for you than regular candy bars and every bit as good.

These bars are somewhat smaller than a regular candy bar and only have 110 Calories (30 of them from Fat). They also provide 4g of Protein and have no Cholesterol.

These are a great snack for those on a diet or if you are just trying to limmit the amount of calories from snacking.

Highly Recommended!

Bob's Red Mill Organic Oat Bran Hot Cereal, 18-Ounce Bags (Pack of 4)

Bob's Red Mill Organic Oat Bran Hot Cereal, 18-Ounce BagsI use oat bran both as a hot cereal and in baking. Bob's Red Mill Organic Oat Bran Cereal is delicious as a hot cereal (especially when cooked in milk rather than water) and ordering it online from Amazon is cheaper than buying Quaker Oat Bran in my local supermarket (if I buy it with enough other stuff in my order to qualify for Super Saver Shipping). However, if you are using it for baking you should be aware that it is not as finely ground as Quaker's. Sometimes this has an effect on the texture of your baked goods and sometimes it doesn't. It depends on the recipe. I definitely prefer it to Quaker's as a hot cereal because it has more texture.

I like oat bran because of its high soluble fiber content and low glycemic index.

When I bought it, I thought you have to cook it but instead its delicious even with no cooking. I eat mine raw, with kefir, so you could use it for instance in yogurt, straight from the bag. This means less processing, so you wont increase its glycemic index by breaking down carbs through high temperatures, and you will preserve all of its nutrients.

The price is good, with the subscribe and save it is cheaper than I could find in any local store.

Buy Bob's Red Mill Organic Oat Bran Hot Cereal, 18-Ounce Bags (Pack of 4) Now

I bought the four-pack of this cereal from Amazon, and absolutely love it! Being a single guy, it is really simple and fast to make (just pop a large bowl in the microwave!) and very hearty. As with any plain-old grain cereal, the base is pretty bland (though, it can be eaten that way ... it's not as flavorless as some!), but is easy to work with ... add a small touch of blueberry syrup and a few fresh blueberries, or a touch of brown sugar and some maple syrup, and it's truly delightful! I will definitely buy another box when this one runs out.

I ordered this on accident. For some reason I thought I was getting Steel Cut Oats that I buy all the time. I was disappointed when I saw my mistake. AND THEN! I tried it. I absolutely, positively love this cereal! It has changed my morning routine. I put the required amount into the microwave with water-in less than 2 minutes it is done. I mix it with Almond milk(I love cow's milk, but it doesn't love me :( ) I sweeten the mix with a dusting of stevia sweetener. You don't need very much stevia as it is very sweet. This makes a thick satisfying "shake". Easy to drink and take as you drive to work. I have also added various add-ins and it just gets better and better. I have added cherry juice concentrate/raisins/cranberries/almonds/flax seed...the list goes on and on. But no matter what I add or don't add I love the texture and the taste. It is the best mistake I ever made. Thank you to the universe for this serendipitous mistake. Oh yes, it reminds me of when I was young and my mother made us Cream of Wheat "shakes" for breakfast. I can't have wheat anymore either...so this makes me so happy to find this product!!! YAY!

I use this oat bran every single day. Some days I use it in smoothies as an extra fiber source, and on cold days I cook it up with some maple syrup and frozen berries. This is the far best that you can buy. I tried everything, and this is what I ended up with.

The oats it makes are soft and creamy. The smoothie isnt gritty or chewy. Its just a perfectly ground blend.

Cranberry Cereal

Cranberry Cerealdoesn't taste good and is really nasty in texture (like sand). I wouldn't recommend this to anyone there are many other low carb cereals out there that are much much better.

Aleia's Gluten Free Savory Stuffing - 6 Pack

Aleia's Gluten Free Savory Stuffing - 6 PackYes, it's expensive, but I am very anxious about stuffing so I am a little tentative to make my own, plus toasting or setting out bread so it has that harder texture is a pain, and who needs more work when you are already making a gigantic meal. The boxes are small, so if you want to ensure leftovers or are cooking for a larger group, I usually toast up some Udi's to stretch it out, add some Aidell's gluten free sausage (I used the garlic and herb, but I bet the apple would be good in this, too), some celery and onion, chicken stock, and Bell's seasoning, and it is so tasty. My dad asked for some leftovers to take home and he did not even realize it was gluten free.

Yes, it was expensive, but worth every cent. The package did look small, but that was deceiving. When prepared, it expanded. Added sauted onion and celery. Didn't need anything else. Would definitely buy again!

Finally found a Gluten Free product that is delicious.. I use this for stuffing, and it holds up and yet it's not too hard in-salads like many gluten free "breads"can be. D-lious! My order shipped in a (6)six pack.. Stores well in fridge I've even put them in the freezer!

Being Gluten Free can make for some difficult choices..However this stuffing is so good its the one I use for all my family members. I like the savory flavor. It is easily accessible through amazon instead of running around to find at a retailer store

Victoria Austin

(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM) As a serial cereal eater, I have had my bouts of addiction throughout my life from Apple Jacks and Count Chocula during my early childhood through an extensive adolescence with Sugar-Frosted Flakes, a short-lived health-oriented period with Bran Flakes and of course, my self-deceptive dieting tactics using Special K. My latest has been Kashi's Heart to Heart, which I find flavorful and filling. There is a slightly sweet taste which has something to do with the light honey glaze on the Cheerio-looking rings, though the most pervasive flavor is a toasted oat. I don't find a need for sugar, but I do like to pile up blueberries if I have them in the fridge.

I have to admit that I have used it as a dinner replacement on really lazy evenings. The best part is that the low-fat, low-sodium cereal is heart-friendly (thus the name) with one gram of soluble fiber per serving. The box claims 11 servings of 3/4 cup each, which for a cereal lover, is a stretch. I've been lucky to eke out eight bowls since I tend to overflow the bowl. Still, the calorie count is reasonable at 110 of which only 15 come from fat. For a price that is on par with local retailers, Amazon delivers the cereal in cases of six boxes, which I think is a reasonable medium-term amount.

Buy Kashi Heart To Heart Honey Toasted Oat Cereal, 12.4-Ounce Boxes Now

Heart to Heart really is the best cereal Ive ever tasted. A couple of months ago my mom and I were shopping at Rite Aid buying toilet trees and then I came across this cereal, Heart to Heart. I looked at the back and found out that its low in calories. I had been trying to find a cereal that tasted delicious but is also low in calories and hadnt found one until I came across Heart to Heart Cereal. It also lowers cholestrol and it also lowers blood pressure. It doesnt have a bland taste like lots of low calorie cereals do; it has a honey flavor to it which is wonderful :) I eat Heart to Heart every morning, Ive lost a lot of weight (maybe because I start my day off eating Heart to Heart Cereal), and I totally recommend this cereal to anyone. You will LOVE it!

I have been eating this cereal every morning for breakfast for a few years now. It is just "heavy" enough to be satisfying until a mid-morning snack. I tried granola, but it's too "heavy" for me. I like a lighter breakfast, but need more than fruit. So this cereal is perfect. It has a mildly sweet nutty flavor and stays crunchy until the end. Reasonably priced with healthy ingredients...it's great!

Want Kashi Heart To Heart Honey Toasted Oat Cereal, 12.4-Ounce Boxes Discount?

This is the first oat-based cereal that I have enjoyed. I like it straight from the box, with 2% milk, or occasionally with orange juice. When I travel and may not be able to find it, I pour it into quart-sized zip-lock bags and take some with me. It's also good as a snack when flying. I've compared the label to those on other Kashi cereals, as well as the run-of-the-mill stuff, and this is better.

SWEET HOME farm Granola, Honey Nut, 13-Ounce (Pack of 12)

SWEET HOME farm Granola, Honey Nut, 13-OunceI'm throwing out about 95% of this. I find it dry and tasteless and unpleasant to eat. I mix it with fruit and yogurt. I'm going back to some of the soft granola bars.

Cheerios Honey Nut Cereal, 12.25-Ounce Box

Cheerios Honey Nut Cereal, 12.25-Ounce BoxesI was eating them and they just kept going into my mouth like crazy. The honey flavor is good and makes it different from regular Cheerios. The bee is not real it is just a cartoon.

Alright, I'll preface by saying that I have not had the pricing or expiration (not that I would notice) issues that some of the other reviewers have faced. The humanity. I get them every 3 months and the price has always been between 6.50 and 8.50. This is a tremendous bargain. One of these boxes at Duane Reade costs $4.99+. I would probably get it delivered more than once every 3 months if I ate breakfast more.

This is by far my favorite cereal, and while I may sound like a child, I'm 27. Since you're curious, the other members of the Cereal Rushmore are:

Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Frosted Flakes

Corn Pops

Honorable Mention: Lucky Charms

Boom, done.

Update 9/20/12: Now that they got rid of the 3pack, and replaced it with the 4pack, they also jacked the price. S+S is $18 currently ($4.25 per box). While I will still buy them, the savings is noticeably less. Maybe the other reviewers were right all along.

Update 1/8/13: looks like they brought back the dealz... 4 for $10 yes please. Now Amazon, quick jerkin my chain, makes the subscribe and save game a lot less valuable.

Buy Cheerios Honey Nut Cereal, 12.25-Ounce Box Now

For those who don't really like Cheerio's somewhat bland flavor, this is a good cereal for you. It's a nice, healthy cereal (though you need to be careful of the sugar) It's not overwhelmingly sweet like so many kids' cereals are and is great for adults, with a light touch of honey and nuts that give this cereal a satisfying flavor.

Cheerios are good for you, at least as far as a processed cereal can be good for you, but regular Cheerios don't have much flavor. The Honey Nut Cheerios have a nice sweet flavor, not too sweet, but enough to make it more enjoyable to eat.
