Belvita Breakfast Biscuit, Blueberry, 8.8-Ounce (Pack of 3)

I just tried these and they are great. They do not have a funny aftertaste and the blueberry pieces are real blueberrys. I just checked the price on here and it is way too expensive they are much cheaper in the stores...Amazon please sell these without going through a third party.

These blueberry biscuits have a wonderful crunch and a strong blueberry smell and flavor that is great. All natural ingredients and a convenient, healthy way to start my day. Easy to take on the road in the am. Each pouch has 4 biscuits. Just enough for a quick snack. Better prices at the grocery store right now because of the shipping costs. I hope Amazon puts these on the subscribe and save list so we can stock up! YUM!

Excellent cookies for both kids and adults alike. No hydrogenated oils or artificial color. But way more expensive here than at the store.

Okay, I am usually a bit wary of most breakfast "cookies" or "bars," as the nutritional profile tends to be pretty poor. I think it is important to get protein and fiber with breakfast, so if I want a bar, I'll reach for something like a Luna Nutrition Bar, Blueberry Bliss.

I first decided to try BelVita Breakfast "Biscuits" because I had a coupon. When I checked them out in the store, I was impressed to see that the nutritional profile was actually decent: these cookies (for that is really what they are) provide 4 grams of protein (could be better, but not bad), 3 grams of fiber, and 18 grams of whole grain. They are lower in sugar than most other bars (13 grams), and although the fat content is a bit high at 8 grams, there is only a trace of saturated fat (.5 grams).

I was also surprised to see that you get a generous four biscuits per serving (they are thin, but good-sized). The best part, however, is that these biscuits are delicious!!! They are crispy and buttery-tasting, with bits of real blueberries in every bit. I admit, these aren't my absolute healthiest breakfast (I'll usually have a little plain, non-fat yogurt along with them), but as an occasional treat, they are a yummy, guilt-free indulgence.

I grabbed these today, one of those running late daysskipped breakfast and found myself starving. I have a dairy allergy*, and it was the first of 10 or so "breakfast " items that I checked in the aisle that didn't contain milk ingredients. I immediately regretted my decision when I got back to the office, because I actually looked at the boxnot just the ingredientsand it looked pretty unappetizing. When I opened the pack, I smelled blueberries, and the pieces in the cookie seemed to be actual blueberries! They tasted great, it reminded me of the blueberry muffins I used to get from Dunkin Donuts. Granted, I haven't had dairy products in forever, and consequently cant eat most fast food or prepackaged stuff, so they may not taste as great to someone who can have the real thingbut they are the perfect thing to have on hand for mornings like today, or when my family gets donuts so I can pretend its a muffin. Waaaa allergies suck.

*note to people with allergies, it DOES contain wheat and soy, so not gluten free

Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats Cereal, 14.2 oz

Product is just how everyone remembers it form when you are younger. Smushed up rice krispy treats and milk...how could it be bad?

My husband loves this cereal and unfortunately you can't find it in any store.. Once I found it here it definitely made his day.

Erin Baker's Breakfast Cookies, Oatmeal Raisin, 3-Ounce Individually Wrapped Cookies (Pack of 12)

I've eaten Erin Baker's Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast cookies as well as the Double Chocolate variety. For meal replacement, I prefer the Oatmeal Raisin -they aren't so sweet and treat-like that I'm tempted to eat more than one (which has happened with the chocolate ones -and at around 300 calories each, that's not a good idea for somebody who'd like to drop a few pounds.) I stopped buying the Chocolate ones because they were just too tempting. The Oatmeal Raisin ones do a good job of getting me through the morning (or afternoon) without feeling hungry. I put them straight into the freezer when they arrive -I either let them thaw naturally (for lunch at work) or toast them (with the toaster oven on medium darkness.) They are great toasted, giving off the scent of a fresh-baked oatmeal cookie and toasting adds a slight crunch to the outside of the cookie. Cooking them in a microwave works ok (30 seconds in an 800 watt oven), but I haven't nuked one since finding out how great they are toasted!

This is a tasty, filling and quick breakfast choice. It is a hearty choice that kept me from being hungry until lunch. Leave it partially in the package while eating it, though, because is can crumble.

These cookies are very good. The bad thing is I want to eat more than one! Very soft and great tasting. And for less than $1 per cookie, its a great deal.

Erin Baker's Breakfast Cookies are not just for breakfast. You can have one anytime and they are so big you will enjoy eating them for a long time. We ordered the Oatmeal Raisin cookies and they were so moist and delicious. I wondered where they were going to so fast and discovered that my husband was taking them to work with him. So they must be very good because he is not a dessert person at all!

These do have a subtle taste to them, but they still taste fine (especially with some hot tea or coffee), and the healthy ingredients are ultimately a trade off I am comfortable with. With respect to serving size, one of these is a full breakfast even when I am really hungry. If you are looking the overly sweet or powerful taste you get from those granola / breakfast candy bars you typically see covering all of the grocery store shelves these are not for you. If you looking for a breakfast on the run that's healthy and filling I would highly recommend them. I am on my second month of them with no regrets.

Taylors Scottish Breakfast Tea (50 Tea Bags)

SCOTTISH BREAKFAST TEA BY TAYLORS OF HARROGATE is a mighty fine cuppa, if you like it thick, black and rich. As it should be, for breakfast or anytime. Especially tea time. I find this comparable, but not up to the level of, Twinings Irish Breakfast Tea, Tea Bags, 20-Count Boxes (Pack of 6) (see my reviews of all Twinings) because TAYLORS, while solid and substantive, lacks that certain light crisp aroma one finds with TWININGS.

Nevertheless, let it not be claimed that I unnecessarily bash a good tea. TAYLORS might not have anything necessarily Scots about it, unless you think "Scots" should indicate solid and only just up to par but it is tasty and when well minded is not bitter at all. This is one area that causes me massive distress: TWININGS has never been bitter, and never will be. TAYLORS can get bitter simply by steeping it too long, so beware of that.

Lastly, I find TAYLORS to be on the pricey side, though I know half of that is actually Amazon's fault. While the 50-count teabag is not astronomically high, I still find it ... uncomfortable. Taylors really ought to find a way to lose the bitterness, add aroma, keep costs down and hand all that to the consumer on a fine tea tray. With chocolate bickies, if you don't mind. My personal secret: I keep a stash of Taylors Scottish in the back of the breadbox I use as my tea-stash. It comes in handy on a cold night when a good, black, fast cuppa is required.

I love this tea -as well as their Irish Breakfast Tea and English Breakfast tea. It's rich and dark. I don't drink coffee, but do drink lots of tea and feel this tea is worth the price. I used to buy this tea at our local kitchen shop, but it's cheaper at Amazon. If you buy the 6-pack of 50 bags at Amazon, it's even more economical.

Buy Taylors Scottish Breakfast Tea (50 Tea Bags) Now

If you want to get a good sampling of a great tea, this is the way to do it--buy 20 or 50 tea bags as a trial before splurging on a larger order. The sunk costs are only ten dollars U.S., there's free 2-day delivery via Amazon Prime, and you can decide later whether to stock up in earnest.

Leaving aside sentimental attachments to T of H formed while sitting about the kitchen for hours drinking it and working on problem sets for e-mag and analytical mechanics with some of my good college friends, it must be said that Taylor's of Harrogate really know what they're about when it comes to tea...this in a way that many Americans may not equipped to really appreciate. I'll skip mentioning some of the floor sweepings that you can find at the grocery store, but, for literate comparison, the good folks at Twinings are worldwide marketing experts and have made huge strides bringing a selection of decent teas to the peoples in many new markets, viz their English Breakfast is available 'round the world. Taylor's of Harrogate are in my view another thing altogether. I think they offer a better tea to a smaller market cross section. The Scottish Breakfast itself is a wonderfully strong and brightly coloured tea--this is tea-nerd talk, granted--but the color (or colour) of it is remarkable; it gives you straight away the feeling that you've happened onto something rather special. And the flavor (flavour, if you will) is, in the words of my tea-hound office cube-neighbor (neighbour...), "manly." It'll give you a nice boost, but it won't wire you out. It drinks well straight or with milk or even with cream, and of course a little sugar never hurt a breakfast tea. If you like "black" teas (hong chaah!!), this is one you should not miss.

This is a delicious tea with a delightful aroma, perfect for bringing the senses to life first thing in the morning. (It's equally enjoyable with scones at tea time!)

If you like strong black tea this is the best. One bag make a whole pot in minutes. I am glad we found this. It is sometimes in our local stores but we order online too. It is worth the extra money when one bag makes a day's worth of tea!

Grove Square Spiced Apple & Caramel Apple Cider Variety Pack, Sugar Free, 54-Count Single Serve Cup

None of my friends orfamilyliked it either.mary had a little lamb it's fleece was whit as snowfall you very much

I really like hot cider. I had high expectations for this product for cider desires in a K-Cup.

The Good:

I really like the Spiced Cider. Good flavor. 9/10

They work great with my machine. No mess.

The Not So Good:

The Caramel flavor is so/so. 5/10

It's basically a dried powder that you are rehydrating.. you are not "brewing" anything. It doesn't really taste like a true "spiced cider" from an orchard, etc...

Overall..

It's ok. I'd buy the spiced cider again probably, but not probably the caramel.

It's so nice to have a sugar fee option for the Keurig, especially since I am not a coffee drinker. Would be even better if there was a sugar free hot chocolate. I really enjoyed the caramel apple cider and would give it a 5 star rating. The spiced apple was good, just not as good to me, and would give it a 3.5 or 4.0 rating. Nice to have some variety, but I tended to mostly drink the caramel cider, it's all gone and I've ordered more of just that!

we enjoy the Spiced Apple Cider the best but Grove Square always has such great taste in all they offer, so we thought we would also try the Apple with Caramel yummie!!

Eat Natural Brasils Sultanas, Almonds, Peanuts and Hazelnuts, 1.76-Ounce, 12-Count Boxes

I have been buying these for years. They are great -very filling. The other reviewer is correct they are on the sweet side. I love them. I keep one in my purse at all times. There are more than 3 varieties made, but they are the only 3 Amazon carries. The yogurt covered bars are even sweeter but I love those too.

Not something I'll buy again rather bland puffed rice and nuts (mostly Brazil nuts and almonds), sweetened with glucose syrup and with some raisins mixed in the only fruit I could taste, though the ingredient list includes apricots and peach. The result is bland as well as overly sweet. Though "Eat Natural" yogurt-coated almond & apricot bars are even sweeter, they're far tastier and would be my choice if I were to buy "Eat Natural" bars again. I prefer Larabars to either though I know they're not everyone's cup of tea. (And the dates and other fruit used to sweeten Larabars seem more natural ingredients to me than the glucose syrup used to sweeten "Eat Natural" bars.)

This is a very good bar. There are lots of nuts and different kinds of fruit, but there is a bit too much sweetener (honey, etc). Good for breakfast, or half of one as a snack to get me through to lunch/dinner.

Great price! Cheaper than Kind bars, although not as many different kinds available.

These are ok and very filing but I don't think I will purchase them again. I prefer the kind bars, they are more expensive and I decided to try something similar but it wasn't the same. I saw these a lot in Europe, they seem to be more popular over there. They are worth trying.

Coach's Oats 100% Whole Grain Oatmeal (4.5 lbs)

This is my first review ever on Amazon, but this product deserves attention. I have eaten this product for 5-7 days a week for an entire year now. The only time I didn't eat it was when I was on vacation. Even then, I began to miss it after a week. This product is amazing, and I've yet to tire of it. Don't get me wrong, nothing can replace hashbrowns for breakfast in the morning in terms of flavor, but this product has helped me get into the best shape of my life while still enjoying the food I eat.

The versatility of this product is amazing. If I want a porridge consistency, I add slightly more water. If I want a bowl of something with more chew to it I add slightly less water. If I'm extra hungry , I'll cook it on the stovetop with frozen veggies (carrots, peas, corn, broccoli, etc) with some garlic salt and hot sauce and you've got a savory and healthy dinner. If I'm in the mood for something sweet, I'll add bananas and drizzle in some honey. A bowl of this with an over-easy egg and you've got a very filling snack under 250 calories. With a regular meal, I'll sub out my starch (rice, pasta, bread) with this oatmeal for a healthy alternative. For me, I feel more full with oatmeal as the side dish probably because it fools my stomach with extra water weight but the fiber content keeps me feeling full or at least content until the next meal.

Think outside the box and be open to new flavors and new textures, and you will thoroughly enjoy this product as much as I have, AND feel healthy doing so :)

My husband and I love Coach's Oats. We first tried them on recommendation by a friend. They are kind of nutty and rich in flavor. The oat is not rolled, not quite cracked, but somewhere in between. They have a great texture. They take about 5 minutes to cook. We first bought them at Costco, now they don't carry them anymore and we can't find them anywhere. We would like to order them online, but don't want to dish out shipping charges. Hoping that Amazon starts carrying them soon.

Coach's Oats is our family favorite. By that I mean everyone here will eat it. So that is the main reason I buy it. I can still get oatmeal into everyone without resorting to the crappy instant kind! It is easy to make, tastes great, and always has great recipes on the bag too. I must say though, the only reason I bought it from Amazon this time was because our Costco quit carrying it for a while, and when we inquired they said they had discontinued carrying it all together. The best deal you will find on Amazon is still TWICE as much as what you can get the same quantity for at Costco. And now our Costco started carrying it again. Yay! So really, for me I would rather pay the Costco price than twice that much any day!

Granola In The Raw (Raw, Gluten Free Granola)

Finding a tasty raw granola can be a little difficult. Which is why when I came across granola in the raw I was hooked. The nuts are perfectly soaked and sprouted. It is mildly sweet, but not overpowering. There is great crunch, which is what I crave from my granola. I eat it with almond milk, goat yogurt, or sometimes as a mid day snack. I always have a bag open! Plus the price is totally reasonable.

Oh, my gosh. This stuff is amazing. One taste was all it took, and now I'm hooked. Buckwheat, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, coconut, etc., all sweetened with a little agave syrup. I've been trying to incorporate more raw foods into my diet anyway, but this is a treat no matter how you look at it.

Peace Cereal French Vanilla Granola, Oat Clusters with Almonds, 15-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

This was a Manager's Special for cheap (two bucks a box) that I gave a try. It has milled cane sugar as the second ingredient BUT that is soooo much better than High Fructose Corn Syrup for the human body. It's sweet enough to satisfy a sweet tooth or two. My teenager will eat ONE bowl and be satisfied versus "inhaling" bowls and bowls of fruity loopy stuff. I enjoy it because there's 26 of the recommended daily 48 grams of whole grains per serving, it's all natural, no preservatives, a good source of protein, and a "good" sweet taste. Kids and grown-ups BOTH like this straight out of the box, as a hot or cold cereal with milk, mixed in yogurt, and sprinkled on ice cream!

I came across this cereal in a supermarket and decided to buy it, not for the cereal itself but for what the box represented (Peace...go figure). Well, it turns out that not only did I feel I was making a positive contribution to the world but it turned out that I fell in love with this cereal!! The taste, texture...it's just soooo yummy!! I used to order it from the Peace Web site, but have found that it's more inexpensive to order it via Amazon. I keep coming back for more...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I've only recently started eating granola because it was available at my office for free. But now that I'm addicted to it, I want to buy some.

At first I tried the Sweet Home Farm French vanilla Granola, that was such a disappointment I didn't think I'll find yummy granola again. Then I came across Peace. I was skeptical since it only had one good review. But I figured I'll give it a try anyways.

WooWEE!!! It's delicious. The flavor is fantastic and the texture is perfect!

The vanilla flavour is not overpowering but it's there to help enhance the flavor. I seriously recommend that you give this one a try!!

I'm now looking for other Peace Cereals to try out; I'm sure I'll love them as well.

I tried the French Vanilla Granola made my Golden Temple, from a bulk store and "fell in love" with it. It was so good that the store supply was out quite frequently... apparently I wasn't the only one who thinks this Granola has exceptional taste. I was thrilled to find this product on Amazon. I purchased this 6 box Pack a couple of weeks ago and 4+ boxes have been throughly enjoyed thus far. If you like Granola and French Vanilla is a flavor you enjoy... you have to try this Granola!

Beware of the fact that each bar has 2 servings. Seems misleading to me. Disappointed that a product that is geared towards people trying to be healthy would resort to such labeling tactics.

I don't know where they got their name, but when you take a bite you will not be able to believe that they are actually a "health food". They taste so good! Five stars!

16 K-cup BROOKLYN BEAN ROASTERY Sampler, 8 different flavors! Donut shop, Cyclone, Boardwalk, Fuhge

Pretty good flavoring, but it doesn't have distinct flavors like other K-cups such as green mountain coffee or starbucks k cups. The biggest problem with these k cups is, after you are done brewing and take out the kcup it leaks!!! I've never had that with any brand, I believe the filter they use is sub-par since I occasionally also find some grinds in my coffee when I use Brooklyn k cups.

Pros: Great brooklyn heritage printed on every k-cup

Alright Flavor

Cons: these Kcups are leakers!

Filters used are probably tissues or something because they really aren't doing their job well

We ordered the sample pack to help decide which flavors to get down the road. So far the ones we've tried tasted great, but the packaging itself seemed to a bit off from all the other Keurig cups out there. There seems to be an extra pleat near the top of the cup making the top wider than the other cups, which in turn is causing some of the cups to explode upon brewing and leaving grinds in the coffee. I'm not sure if this has been corrected in the newer batches, but the sample pack contains these flawed cups which is making the experience less than ideal.

This is a great sampler for the Brooklyn Bean coffees. The coffee is good; I didn't like it at first but I originally bought the big expensive sampler with alot of coffee I didn't like. This has a good mix of regular (ie unflavored) coffee. It's a great way to sample the BB.

Personally, I prefer the Wolfgang Puck coffee. These are really good some of them a bit on the strong side. But, as with the Wolfgang Puck coffees, the K-Cups are not weak (a problem I have experienced with many of the K-Cup coffees). In this mix, I really love the Breakfast Blend and the Donut Shop.

This is a good way to sample without a huge investment.
