While marketing for healthy breakfast fare,I tripped across this tin of' Mc Cann's, Steel Cut, Oatmeal several years ago and decided to give it a try. I did and now I am all but addicted to it! I followed the directions to have perfect oatmeal. It was perfect but the drawback was the 25 to 30 minutes to cook it, and to do this daily! I like mine 'al dente' so I fast cook it on high temperature until most of the water has boiled out about 10 minutes, then cover it to simmer it the remainder of the cooking time. However with this method, one has to stir the oatmeal very often while it is simmering. Then along came a friend who suggested that I make a full batch, 1 cup of this oatmeal to 4 cups of water, and put the remainder of what wasn't eaten in a covered bowl in the frig. This I did, and still do. Now I scoop out the amount I want to reheat, place it in a bowl stirring in a little water to loosen it up, microwave it for 2 minutes or less depending on the amount I am reheating, and I have almost an instant breakfast! Since it so crunchy and so delicious all by itself ( it doesn't even taste like oatmeal!) that it really does not need any extras!Try it and enjoy!!!

Oatmeal gets a bad rap these days.

Most people have their first experience with the quaker instant oatmeal, loaded with sugar and artificial flavoring, with the consistency of mush. After eating it, you just feel dirty for the next few hours, like you ate candy for breakfast. The rest of their lives, people never go back. John McCanns's oatmeal will convert anyone back.

The flavor and consistency is everything you could ask for in a warm breakfast cereal. Once you try it, you can never go back to regular oatmeal. It's chewy and delicious, not like the quaker slime you might remember. Sure, it takes 30 minutes to cook, but after you've done it once, it's easy. I wake up, throw some water on the stove, make my coffee, drink my coffee while I wait for it to boil, throw in the oats, set the dial to 3, give it a stir, and take a shower. When I come out, breakfast is almost ready. I could understand if you don't have the extra time, but this stuff is worth it.

The only thing is that this oatmeal is about 5-6 times more expensive than Steel-Cut oatmeal you can buy in bulk at the grocery store. That isn't to say that you can't taste the difference in quality, but at some point, they're both steel-cut oatmeal.

So if you want the very best, go with John McCann's. I highly recommend buying a tin if it's your first time trying steel-cut, since it takes a few times to figure out how to cook it and the tin provides instruction. It also looks very cool and gives you a place to put the oats you might buy in bulk later.

This is BY FAR my favorite oatmeal. The price here, however is almost 4x as much as it costs at my local grocery store (it's $6.99 at the Food Emporium right outside Times Square in NYC). I hope this is an error.

This oatmeal is in my point of view the best; it taste great and I like to make it in the slow cooker so it is ready when I get up.

Very good. Time consuming to cook--don't plan to cook it for breakfast without a spare 45 minutes!

Gooey liquide that forms while cooking is a little weird.

belVita Breakfast Biscuits, Blueberry Breakfast Biscuits, 8.8 oz

I am on the road a lot; my commute is 36 miles one way each day. In order to miss traffic I am on the road each day by 5:00 am; on the road and hungry. So days I'll eat a piece of fruit in the car, but that is never filling. Recently while cutting out coupons I ran across a ($.75 coupon) for BelVita Blueberry Breakfast Biscuits; they look intriguing so I decided to give them a try.

First Impressions

I like the "BelVita Blueberry Breakfast Biscuits," they are as advertised; light, yummy tasting and (somewhat) filling. I like to eat them with a small carton of milk and a perhaps a piece of fruit to make a complete meal. Of I sometime eat them as a mid-morning snack, something to hold me until lunch. I don't exaggerate when I state that you can actually see and taste the blueberries baked into each slim biscuit.

Since I started buying BelVita Blueberry Breakfast Biscuits I have discovered other flavors as well, including Apple Cinnamon, Chocolate (my favorite), Golden Oat, and Cinnamon Brown Sugar. The Blueberry and Chocolate remain my favorites however and always have one of the two flavors at the ready, either at home or at the office.

If you are looking for a low calorie, low fat, nutritious alternative to a McDonalds sausage biscuit, then the BelVita Blueberry Breakfast Biscuits should be given serious consideration. Light, and tasty, these breakfast biscuits are a clear winner.

I love these. They taste incredible, and since I'm not usually a breakfast person, these are my new go-to breakfast. They go great with coffee!

These are tasty and I am enjoying one with my morning coffee break while I write this, but reading the nutrition facts and the ingredients list on the package, I have to think that this is more of a tasty and somewhat healthy cookie than a substitute for breakfast. According to the package, a serving is four biscuits which adds up to 230 calories. Though that includes 4 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber, it also includes 13 grams of sugar and 8 grams of fat.

They are good, tasting like a nice butter cookie with a blueberry smell and a hint of blueberry flavor. Still, I think I'll be more likely to have one from time to time as a little treat with my morning coffee or after dinner than to substitute a package for breakfast. I'd more likely chose a low-fat fruit yogurt which would have more than twice the protein, less sugar and fat, and less calories.

Decaffeinated English Breakfast (4oz. Loose Tea)

We love our tea, but we don't want to drink it too late or it keeps us up. Herbal teas are insipid when you want the real thing, and most decaf teas don't have that rich tea flavor. This stuff tastes like the real thing, with a good rich flavor. It goes down well, and it doesn't keep us up. We even used one of those caffeine test strip kits to test it. It may not be 100% caffeine free, but it was below the test threshold. It's a great choice for tea lovers.

Kashi Brown Maple Instant Oatmeal

The cereal itself is very good. Excellent, natural ingredients, and not too sweet like many of the retail oatmeal packets you get elsewhere.

I just noticed Amazon's small-type disclaimer that you can return the cereal if you're not satisfied with the freshness date. I received it on Feb 3 and it's dated good till March 16. I guess I can use up 2 boxes (16 packets) in 6 weeks, but I shouldn't have to, and returning the cereal is really more trouble than it's worth given the box size, packaging requirements, and need to take it to the post office. Also, if Amazon paid for the postage both ways, they'd lose money on this sale, so why bother?

By the way, I've checked out other Kashi products we've purchased at brick and mortar stores and the expiration dates go out 6 months or more in all cases.

How about Amazon just not ship cereal that's less than, say, three months out from its expiration date?

This Kashi oatmeal smells wonderful as it cooks. I make it with water and microwave it for my daughter. She is a little girl with a severe milk and egg allergy and finding a healthy breakfast that doesn't involve milk or eggs was tough...until we discovered this oatmeal. It has a nice, hearty consistency and a great flavor. For those with a bit of a sweet tooth, a spoon of brown sugar or a drizzle of agave nectar will sweeten it up just wonderfully. A great way to start the day!

I think this cereal tastes okay as cereal, but I like to eat cereals as snacks--right out of the box. This one doesn't work well that way because of the size of the flakes, the fact that they separate from the powdery flavoring, and they stick to your fingers. Of course, you'll probably use hot water with yours. Kashi adds a bunch of vitamins which is nice, but the big hype on oats is overblown. My ex-girlfriend had high cholesterol and calculated how many oat muffins she'd need to get the number down to acceptable--tons of them each day. She's a computer professional & VERY bright--and persistent. The muffins were good too--esp. the smell as they baked. You can't eat enough of this cereal to do the trick. No way. Still, it's a convenient packet & tastes okay.

General Mills Lucky Charms Cereal 44 Ounce Value Bulk Box Cereal

Lucky Charms are my own private revenge for a childhood deprived of sugary name brand cereals. As far as nutrition it's not the best but it's not the worst either each cup has around 140 calories and provides 14% of your daily calcium and Vitamin C requirements, plus it has almost 40% of the iron you need! It still isn't a filling or nutritionally adequate breakfast but it's not too bad when you're craving some sweet snacky junk food :)

This cereal truly is magically delicious (or close to it) Generic knock-offs of this product taste pretty good, but Lucky Charms has such awesome flavor. I miss the old array of marshmallows, now it seems that there are way too many gimmicky marshmallows, but the cereal tastes good!

Frosted Mini-Wheats Cereal, Touch of Fruit in the Middle (Mixed Berry), 15-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4)

This is a really fun cereal to eat. You got the frosted side of the square which is delicious, and then you have to eat the non frosted part because it is attached to the frosted part. The makers cleverly decided to use fruit filling as the glue to hold the two sides together. This is the best tasting fruit cereal glue I have ever tasted. My 10 month old son watches me eat them with jealousy in his eyes and drool on his lips.

Saw this in the grocery store recently and was very excited. As a fan of the previous fruit filled version, I was eager to try a bowlful as soon as I got home. The mixed berry flavor was very sweet & artificial, and by the time I'd eaten less than half the bowl I'd had enough.

The flavors from before like strawberry and raisin tasted very fruity and complimented the frosted shredded cereal perfectly. When there is already frosting on the top side of the square, the filling doesn't need to be super sweet. It tasted like a frosted mixed berry Pop Tart, so I'm sure kids and younger folk will be a fan on this cereal, and perhaps that is who it is marketed to now.

Anybody else remember Raisin Squares? My mom would buy them for herself when I was a child, and I loved them so much, I would sneak them. They stopped producing them years ago, much to my dismay. When these mini-wheats with the touch of fruit in the middle came out, I was thrilled they are even better than my beloved Raisin Squares! They are a great cereal my mornings are pretty hectic, so I don't often have time to sit down and eat breakfast, but this cereal is perfect for popping in your mouth on the go. It's a great snack too. I teach middle school and sometimes I bring in snacks for my students this is one of their favorites, which is great because they are a fairly healthy food.

It's awesome that this Frosted Mini-Wheats Cereal is available on Amazon, and eligible for subscription the price is fantastic. I haven't subscribed yet, but I probably will I like to place an initial order before I subscribe. I was concerned because when my order arrived, the boxes were very out of shape so much so that they couldn't even stand upright and I was worried that the cereal would be crushed, but I've gone through one box already, and there were no more crumbs than usual. Another great Amazon buy.

I have been looking for fruit filled mini-wheats for about 15 years. They were harder and harder to find before being discontinued. These are almost as good as the original; my only complaint being that the original was not frosted, and I would prefer them unfrosted because the fruit adds enough sweetness. I paid $4.96 at the grocery store for one boxso Amazon's price is great.

This cereal is always fresh and crispy. It is a great hit with my daughter, she eats this every morning for her breakfast. Sometimes, as an afternoon snack. even I eat as a snack or I just munch when watching TV. It is better than eating salty chips and building lot of trans fat. Packaging is good and shipping is always quick. I use subscribe and save option, and so never run out of the stock. Would continue to use the S&S and highly recommend it.
