Bar, Nugo, Family, Coffee - 15/1.76 oz,(Nugo Nutrition Bar)

Bar, Nugo, Family, Coffee - 15/1.76 oz,(Nugo Nutrition Bar)My family loves these...even my kids age 13, 15 and 16 use them for their backpacks and before althletics. This is their favorite flavor...it is not waxy at all, no bad aftertaste or gritty waxy feel in the mouth. I love how much protein is in them and the low calories...170! With the glycemic index being as it is, we stay full for longer...not the ups and downs of the high sugar rush.

Organic Apple Raisin Oatmeal - 3 Pack

Organic Apple Raisin Oatmeal - 3 PackA friend of mine gave me a can of the Organic Apple Raisin Oatmeal. I was at the office and a little hungry and I opened the can with thoughts of making some microwave oatmeal....well, I didn't get as far as the microwave! As soon as you open the can, the oatmeal smells so good it's hard to do anything but eat it! Yes, I ate the oatmeal straight from the can and uncooked, and let me tell you it is good! I haven't tried making it the "normal" way yet, but I am sure that it will be wonderful stuff....no more Quakers for me!

Excited as I am to see Community Coffee available in single-serve portion cups for Keurig brewers, I can't imagine why anyone would pay north of $1.50 per serving. This seller must be delusional.

Apple Cinnamon Sugar-Free High Fiber Hot Cereal, 14 oz. bag by Sensato Foods

Apple Cinnamon Sugar-Free High Fiber Hot Cereal, 14 oz. bag by Sensato FoodsThis product is really good and doesn't raise my blood sugar. I did give it a 5 star, because the cereal itself is good. On the other hand, I tried ordering 2 of these to save on shipping and the company won't let me do that. They charge shipping on each item ordered. Most all companies on Amazon split cost and box together to save shipping fees. The shipping cost on this cereal is not worth ordering it at all if you can get something similar close to or where you live. I can't get anything like this here where I live, and sadly to say the shipping makes the total price compared to amount of product I get (10 servings per bag, 1/2 cup per serving) not something I probably won't re order again.

I like to eat this cereal because I'm a low carber and this is high protein/low carb. This is not for everyone! My hubby had to fix this for me while I was recovering from surgery and he absolutely hated the smell, look, and texture of it.

If you are a serious low carb eater, and like the cinnamon flavor, this is a great alternative to oatmeal for you!

I eat a lot of sugar free and low carb food products and while most are an aquired taste this product is absolutely horrid. It smells and tastes like a blend of furniture polish and an old ladies perfume.

Boomi Bar Gluten Free Energy Bars (Pack of 24)

Boomi Bar Cranberry Apple, Gluten Free Energy Bar, 1.7-Ounce BarsI love these bars. It's not easy to find gluten free snack bars that actually taste good. These are just sweet enough, with no added sugar, just honey and dried fruit. The combination of fruits and seeds is well blended. The bars hold their shape [I've tried some brands that fall apart once you open the wrapper] and are just slightly chewy.

I have to be very careful when it comes to Gluten. I am also a mom to two busy kids and need something that I can just grab and stick in my purse. I highly recommend all Boomi Bar products...especially the Cashew Almond and Macadamia Paradise. Very convenient and they taste great.

I bought these the other day as one of the Lightning deals, and I just ate my first bar. Before even opening it, I was pleased with all of the packaging. The box is easy to open, as are the bars.

My plan was to take my first bite and reflect on the tastes, textures, and smells.

I opened the bar, took my first bite, and my eyes popped open as I really tasted it. It was FANTASTIC! So, without any reflection or pause whatsoever, I promptly ate the whole bar one incredibly delicious bite at a time! Then, I thought I should look at the ingredients list, just to be sure. In order, "Pumpkin seeds, Honey, Dates, Raisins, Apricots, Cranberries, Crisp Rice, Amaranth, Salt." Nine, yes, 9 ingredients that all can be understood without a degree in chemistry. I love it!

The texture was fantastic, which is big for me. I just love food textures. The seeds were a nice but soft crunch, accompanied by the nice soft fruits for a great combination!

The taste was out of this world! The pumpkin seeds tasted fresh, and the combination of all the fruits was a PERFECT balance of sweetness to match! These were good enough to satisfy my sweets craving! And look at the nutrition facts! This was a real winner!

In theory, I'd complain about the 230 calories, but really, it's a fantastic and filling snack, so good bang for your caloric buck. The 9 grams of fat I would explain away with the nuts and fruits themselves. They will help to keep you full, and honestly, fat is not a bad thing IN MODERATION. Also, there are fats that are just downright GOOD for you, so don't get upset when you see that.

My plan is to eat 1 bar each day. It's a fantastic snack for between meals, or even to supplement one! I hope you enjoy them as much as I am going to!

I've been buying Boomi bars for a number of years now, before a lot of the other fruit/nut/food bars showed up on the market. There are other good Boomi varieties, but the Cashew Almond is great with some hot cereal and fruit for breakfast, or just as a filling but not-too-heavy snack. These have a nice nutty flavor, plenty of protein, and just the right amount of sweetness.

I was a little concerned that Amazon might have these sitting around in a warehouse for a long time before selling them, but the bars I got were fresh with sell-by dates many months away. It's hard to beat Amazon's price and service!

Want Boomi Bar Gluten Free Energy Bars (Pack of 24) Discount?

I am always searching for a filling yet healthy bar artifically flavored, high sugar bars for me. The Boomi Perfect Pumpkin bar is such an item. These bars contain pumpkin seeds, honey, dates, raisins, apricots, sweetened cranberries, crisped rice, puffed amaranth and salt; hence the nutrition profile is superb. 1 bar = 230 calories, 9g total fat, 2g sat fat, 45mg sodium, 23g carbs, 1g fiber, 3g sugar and 9g protein. One of these bars plus some oatmeal makes a perfect post-workout recovery meal Yum!

Health Warrior Chia Bars, Acai Berry, 13.2 Ounce

Health Warrior Chia Bars, Acai Berry, 13.2 OunceI don't think I've ever seen so much health packed into one small, ready-to-go and easy-to-carry-around packet. (I have a couple in my glove compartment, and I've been keeping one in my briefcase too.) And I didn't see anything particularly unhealthy added (like salt, extra added sugar, unpronounceable chemicals, etc.*) I'm not an expert on the topic, but I wouldn't exactly call this an "energy bar" per se (like for "instant energy" with tons of sugar, caffeine, electrolytes, carbs, whatever). Rather I'd just call it a simple snack, something to hold you over, fill in the spaces between meals, that kind of thing. Plus, give you some healthy chia and acai!

Personally, I've had the bad habit of going all day with just one meal later in the day. I didn't realize it at the time but this put my body into a starvation mode and actually made me put on fat and gain weight, even though I was eating very little. I've been told by health and medical professionals -and have read -that it's best to have about five or six small meals or snacks throughout the day. So my problem has been finding GOOD, healthy snacks ... as opposed to junky snacks like Cheetos and potato chips, that kind of thing. Yes, these are a bit on the expensive side, but I'm thinking that one or two a day would be perfect.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it. Also, I'm going to order another box right now. :)

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, d'uh ... they taste good too!

*Okay, I lied. There's apparently a tiny pinch of sea salt in there at the tail end of the ingredient list. The total sodium listed is 45 mg. I'm guessing it's part of what's needed to hold everything all together, I dunno.

Like the new flavor. Great job, love the health benefits I receive from chia seeds helps power me thru long runs. As always delivery was prompt.

My family is a big fan of the Health Warrior Chia bars. This particular flavor is my all time favorite, and I have tried all 3 flavors (chocolate peanut butter, and coconut). The berry flavor is tangy and sweet and its very satisfying as a snack. Highly recommend!

The only thing I would change about these bars is make them twice as big, because I always eat two at a time anyway. The taste is amazing, and I am planning to try the coconut flavor in the future since I love coconut.

When you open the package they look like a thousand little chia seeds mixed with purplish fruit jam and pressed into a small rectangle. They are soft and chewy and you can feel the seeds crunch in your teeth.

I would recommend this as a healthy option for a quick snack. Chia seeds have many positive health benefits including being high in protein, fiber, and Omega 3s. Sometimes they do get stuck in your teeth though.

Just enough to eat. Low sugar content! Extremely tasty. I'm not a fan of power bars too much sugar and sugar alcohols. This is tasty beneficial energy. Really so glad to have tried these. I like the Coconut ones too. Peanut butter runs third. But I like all three flavors. This one has the most sugar at 5g; the coconut and peanut butter come in at 4g if that is a concern of yours.

Enjoy Life Chewy On-The-Go Bars Sunbutter Crunch -- 5 Bars

Enjoy Life Chewy On-The-Go Bars Sunbutter Crunch -- 5 BarsI admit I bought a box of these at an Organic Sensitive Aware Health food grocery store, so I expected it to be expensive. However, this one deserves to be an entry in Consumer Reports' last page, which unfortunately I can't remember the name of at the moment. Each month, the last page of CR's magazine has pictures people send in of scandalously absurd ripoffs, ad goofs, typos, etc, such as a picture of a six-inch tall pill bottle with the 1/2 cubic inch of actual pills that came in it --i.e. making the packaging look real big so the sucker customer will not realize the contents are so paltry. Enjoy Life's marketing department did its job well; the box is 5 1/4"H x 6 1/2"W x 1 1/2" D: the actual food item, once you unwrap the (5 1/2" inch long) foil packet is just under 3" long, less than 1/2" wide, & 3/8" deep. I was driving when I ripped open the packet, & almost drove off the road when I beheld the veritable rat-poo dimensions of the bar. Yes, it is sold by weight (5 oz; the things are dense), but the packaging is ridiculously misleading.

Oh, the taste. It's okay; vaguely sunflower seed-ish, merely the barest rumor of a whisper of sweetness or salt; as with most GF food manufacturers, Enjoy Life seems to feel that those of us who must forego gluten, or dairy or nuts or whatever also have no interest in flavor. It does have a nice chewy mouth feel to it, which would have been nicer had there been more to feel.

In a (presumably) unconscious self-satire, in big letters on the back of the box, it says "Still Hungry?" Well yes, and I know several people who would answer same if they ate the entire box of bar-lets, particularly if they'd been expecting something appropriate to the size of the box.

To me, they are just okay. To my 8 year old who has a life threatening allergy to nuts and can't have bars with tree nuts or made on shared equipment with tree nuts, he thinks they are great. He actually likes them and that's what matters. He can have peanut butter (legumes) but all the bars are made on shared equipment with tree nuts! So Enjoy Life is our pricey brand of choice for convenience snacks and granola. They should make a pumpkin seed bar or mix the two. And up the protein for a protein snack bar since that's what the kids who can't have the nut bars need.

OMG..... this is Just BAD BAD BAD..... I could not eat this if I was Starving!

I took one bite.... My husband took one bite and the box went right into the trash can.

I've purchased a few of the Enjoy Life faux-cookie products and although the price and quantity were hard to digest, I thought the taste was more than tolerable. I returned the faux-granola because it was too hard; a bowl of pebbles, literally! But it may have been on the store shelf too long. BTW, you can't see inside the package, or any other Enjoy Life package for that matter. Then, the Perky's Rice Crunch I purchased and enjoyed for months changed, the label had the Enjoy Life logo on it--and 2 ounces less product at a higher price! Okay, the times they are a'changin' and I moved on. Last week I purchased the "Chewy on the go Bars, Sunbutter Crunch." The taste was good; what more do I deserve! However, it was a marketing triumph: four dollars and forty nine cents for 5 diminutive bars, at least compared to the packaging. The bars are about two thirds the size of the foil wrap they come in! Add in the dead space in the box and you got what used to be referred to as "a rip off." In a health food store no one can hear you scream.

We are a household who once held peanut butter near and dear, but due to my youngest child's peanut/tree nut allergies we can no longer have any peanut butter in the house. It has also severely limited the type of bars we can buy. However, Enjoy Life's Sunflower Bars fill the bill! We all love them! They are perfect for lunches and for snacks.

Erin Baker's Breakfast Cookies, Double Chocolate Chunk, 3-Ounce Individually Wrapped Cookies (Pack

Erin Baker's Breakfast Cookies, Double Chocolate Chunk, 3-Ounce Individually Wrapped CookiesI am "subscribed" to this product to receive a shipment monthly. The first two were fine, the cookies were soft and tasty. The last shipment had mold on every cookie. There are other complaints of mold on here, which shouldn't even be a problem if they are STORED CORRECTLY. These cookies are all natural and need to be refrigerated. I guess no matter how many times people complain to Amazon about getting moldy cookies, they still aren't correcting the storage situation!! So that really bothers me, and I don't think I'll be ordering any more of these until they fix the problem. It's quite disgusting.

So far, these are my favorite flavor. They are "chocolatey" without making you crave chocolate all day. Very satisfying.

I just purchased these for the first time on Amazon and I was really impressed! I freeze them and then just pull one out in the morning while I'm gettin ready for work. I've also discovered you can toast them, even if they're frozen. Just pull it out of the package and stick it in the toaster, comes out like a fresh baked cookie! Delicious! I would definitely reccomend this product especially if you are looking for a healthy meal and don't have a lot of time. I also keep one or two in the car in case I get hungry while I'm running errands, keeps the junk food temptations at bay.

Bought these because they had the extra promotion and since i was going back to school, i needed something for the mornings when i'm on the run. These cookies are great. They taste great, i haven't had any problems with them crumbling ( i heat them to 18secs in the microwave) and for someone who eats every 3hours because of a high metabolism, these do fill me up till lunch time. I prefer these to cereal. I tend to eat them when i'm driving and they pair up great with milk. So instead of running to class because i'm late, i pop this into the microwave and unwrap it in the car. These double chocolate chunk ones and and the apple cinnamon ones are my favorite. i'll be ordering more of these.

Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Whole Grain, Steel Cut Oats, 24-Ounce Bags (Pack of 4)

Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Whole Grain, Steel Cut Oats, 24-Ounce BagsI cook my oats in a crockpot overnight. I throw in cinnamon, diced apples and a little organic raw apple juice in place of 50% of the water. Between the apples and apple juice the oatmeal needs no additional sugar and my house smells amazing in the morning when we all wake up!

Love Scottish Oats!

These are the most delicious steel cut oats I have found, and they're certified to be gluten-free too! They're yummy and satisfying and give me long-lasting energy all morning. Since I'm always rushed in the morning, I put them in the pan at night and soak them in water. I use more water than the directions call for (maybe about four times as much water as oats). If you're going to add raisins, you can soak those right along with the oats. Then in the morning I just turn the heat on, bring them to a boil, cover and turn down to the lowest simmer. I like to cook them for 20 minutes, and they cook while I'm showering. They don't need to be stirred at all as long as you keep the heat really low and use plenty of water. Afterwards, I let them sit in the pan until I'm ready, and then before I eat them, I mix in a tablespoon of chia seeds. Not only does this add even more soluble fiber and omega 3 fatty acids, but it thickens up the porridge perfectly. Yum!

This is a staple item for me. I can't say enough great things about it. It's a good source of fiber and protein. Low calorie....Love this stuff. I typically add agave nectar or organic maple syrup as a sweetener. I also use chopped walnuts, banana, cinnamon, dates, raisins, and chopped apples. It's terrific by itself, but it's a real treat with any of the other ingredients I listed added to it. Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Whole Grain, Steel Cut Oats, 24-Ounce Bags (Pack of 4)

The only other steel cut oats I've tried were Quaker. They were OK but I think I like these better. They are cut into smaller pieces so they cook to the texture I like in a little less time. Cooking time is still about 20 minutes. I don't need Gluten Free so I don't know if it makes any difference in the taste or texture but for those with a need to avoid Gluten, this is the one to buy. I add Bob's Red Mill Dried Cranberries to these after they're cooked but still warm excellent!

Arrowhead Mills Organic Maple Buckwheat Flakes Gluten Free -- 10 oz Each / Pack of 2

Arrowhead Mills Organic Maple Buckwheat Flakes Gluten Free -- 10 oz Each / Pack of 2I'm really glad I got a single box of these flakes at the health food store before buying a multi-pack online because I can't repurchase. In fact I shouldn't have purchased it at all after reading the box label at the store, but wanted to check the product out tastewise.

Buckwheat's not a grain, but a seed, and straight buckwheat is relatively low in carbohydrates, which is why it's great for diabetics or people who eat low carb. Unfortunately as a pseudo-grain it lacks binding properties which is why manufacturers tend to add a secondary grain product to help whatever it is hold together. A true buckwheat udon noodle would be lovely, for example, but too often there is more wheat flour than buckwheat and the final product gets carb-heavy.

Unfortunately, the case is similar here. Though this cereal is very tasty, buckwheat is coupled with rice flour (second ingredient) and sugar cane juice (third) and maple syrup (fifth). By the time they're done making this, it's 35 carbs in a cup (and less than a gram of fiber). That's like drinking a non-diet cola.

This could be fixed by the manufacturer lowering the rice content, and eliminating the sugar and maple, allowing us to choose our own sweetener, but I understand the world doesn't revolve around people restricting carb intake. Just wishful thinking.

But if you're a gluten intolerant person and have no blood sugar issues... this is your cereal... and I'm jealous.

Heartland Sweet Cream Buttermilk Pancake - All In One, Complete Mix - 80 Ounce Bag (Pack of 1) 5 lb

Heartland Sweet Cream Buttermilk Pancake - All In One, Complete Mix - 80 Ounce Bag 5 lbs.Our family absolutely loves Heartland's waffle and pancake products. My personal favorite pancake mix is their sweet cream buttermilk, and we've never tried any of their waffle flavors that we haven't just loved. Every Sunday morning the Grandkids gather early for Grandpa's waffles or pancakes. It has become a tradition at our house and Heartland makes it easy and fun. Recently a good friend and neighbor of ours underwent a bone marrow implant and while he was recuperating, he called one day to say he was hungry for Grandpa's waffles. Grandpa gathered up his mix, utensils and waffle iron and headed for our neighbors house. Afterwards, our friend called again to say those were the best waffles he had ever eaten, would we please share our secret with him on how to make them. My husband replied "just go on-line and buy Heartland, it's as easy as that and you can't go wrong.

Marti Owens

We stopped making waffles years ago because if you wanted light and crisp waffles it required whipping the egg whites until stiff. Then you folded them into the other ingredients. Then a friend let me try some of this mix, I am sold. Best, simple and when made with seltzer water they were light and had perfect taste. This product forced me to buy a good waffle iron, Foreman G5. Now I make waffles any time my wife asks, OK I might ask her if she wants waffles.

I received this item on time. It was a great price. My family loves pancakes on the weekend. We like this mix, but I have to add 2 Tbls of sour cream or yogurt to the 2 cups of mix to make it rich and moist. Before I tried adding sour cream or yogurt, my family said that this mix was just ok. After I added a touch of sour cream or yogurt they were so addicted to the pancakes that they wanted them even on weekdays.
