Chex Chocolate Chex Cereal

I think this cereal is really good, unlike many chocolate cereals. I like the taste a lot. I looked at the ingredients and it seems to be a fairly healthy cereal containing whole grain rice. My only criticism is the price for one box of this is too high, but I got it to get the Super Saver Shipping, so it was worth it to me. It would be a better deal to get one of the multipacks.

My kids LOVE this nutritious treat. It's really just a little cocoa powder vice a lot of chocolate, for those who are healthy conscious for their families as we are.

Lipton Tea, 312Count Tea Bags, 100 % Natural Tea Net Wt 24.9 Oz.

Why does Lipton tea taste so bad recently? I have been drinking it for years and now it's disgusting. I will be throwing out this box. I noticed others have made the same comments recently.

I am a big drinker of tea but even for a quick brew, Lipton is made from substandard parts of the Tea plant also including the leaves. As a red rose tea the richness of color and flavor can be compared by buying other loose Tea brands and brewing the exact weight vs. Lipton. Cut the bag open and compare it with a bag of Tetley or Brooke Bond or Taj Mahal for that matter to confirm. No offense to Lipton lovers; I prefer Quality over Quantity. Enjoy your Tea otherwise :)

I found the quality of tea inconsistent. I think it is a Lipton issue rather than anything to do with Amazon.

I have had one experience like this with store-bought Lipton tea bags before. I wish I had remembered that before I ordered this.

I would recommend going in for some other tea like Tazo Awake or some other English Breakfast tea.

Want Lipton Tea, 312Count Tea Bags, 100 % Natural Tea Net Wt 24.9 Oz. Discount?

Over the years I have started drinking more tea and have found that there is a HUGE difference in taste from manufacturer to manufacturer. I have found that Lipton has almost no flavor (it used to, some years ago). I currently have about 20 different teas on hand, most from English or Asian manufacturers, which have a noticeable flavor. If you love tea, try one of the imports. You'll be surprised how bland Lipton really tastes.

Bakery On Main Gluten Free Granola, Extreme Fruit & Nut, 12-Ounces Bags (Pack of 6)

I bought this for my wife who has many food allergies. She cannot have wheat or items containg gluten. This is one of the best products I have found. Its crunchy and tastes great. It seems that most things we buy for her lack one thing or another, this product has it all. I even like it. She absoultely loved it and I am out of the dog house.....for as long as it lasts...

Another reviewer seems to have missed a point that is so important to those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. This is from the Bear Naked product description: "Packaged in a facility that processes wheat, nuts, soy and dairy." Bakery on Main is gluten free, and in my opinion is quite delicious. So for those who must avoid all traces of gluten, and want to choose a product that isn't processed at a facility that also processes wheat, rest assured that you are buying a delicious product with Bakery on Main products. I discovered their products at Life Grocery in Marietta, GA, a few months ago, and I've been hooked ever since. I don't care for the apple variety, but the others are great.

This is a tasty product, unlike some of the gluten-free foods that I have tried. It is very crunchy with lots of fruit and nuts. It has plenty of calories, but I use it as a topping for other, less-tasty cereals, e.g. bran flakes or some of the high-fiber cereals that remind me of twigs and leaves. I will definitely be ordering more in the future.

I love granola and I'm now hooked on this gluten free (just about everything free)product. I've had friends and co-workers try it who also agree that it's tasty. I mix the "Extreme Fruit" granola with some yogurt for breakfeast just about every morning. You have got to try this product. I think it's great.

Runa Amazon Guayusa Traditional Tea

Tying to find a tea that didn't have that bitter taste was difficult; and the cost of teas is not cheap anymore. I was trying many of the healing teas, but they had stevia added to them and I could not get past the taste of that. This tea is not bitter, and has a very nice smooth flavor. I have had it both hot and cold. I do feel that I am energized after drinking it, but it is not a jittery hyper feeling; it is more of an awake and alert feeling mentally and refreshed energized physical feeling. Some reviewers state it has a sweet taste to it but I do not get that. While I do not often add my 1/2 packet of sugar in the raw to it perhaps that is what they mean; that you do not have to add sugar to it. I have replaced my second cup of coffee in the morning with this tea and I even have another cup throughout the day instead of coffee. Excellent taste and an all around great product.

I saw an ad for Runa guayusa in Mother Jones magazine and because it is a Fair Trade item and described as less bitter than tea, I thought I'd give it a try.

It is exactly as advertised no bitterness, just a little hint of sweetness, and a nice gentle flavor. Very easy drinking, and it does give a kick of caffeine energy. I have been a Diet Pepsi / Diet Coke drinker for 25 years because I like their tastes and the caffeine (never could do coffee and tea is too bitter), but I have recently converted to being a bicycle commuter for work and needed to ditch the heavy soda drinks. This guayusa is perfect as tea bags, it is obviously lighter than hauling around sodas, and it has more caffeine too. Better for me, too. And no bitterness like tea or coffee. And I'm supporting fair trade small farmers in Ecuador instead of giant soda companies. The packaging is 100% recycled, 70% post-consumer.

This guayusa is as good as advertised, I like drinking it, and I can't think of any negatives. 5 stars. I'm glad I found this product, it is worth the price.

Buy Runa Amazon Guayusa Traditional Tea Now

As much of a tea fanatic as I consider myself, I'd never heard of guayasa before running into the Runa brand. Now that I have, I could see myself buying it over and over again! It has a full-bodied flavor without the bitter aftertaste of some black teas. It's earthy without being heavy-handed or overpowering, completely unique from any other tea I've tasted. You won't find tea like this anywhere else. And though the product speaks for itself, the business model of this brand doesn't hurt: Runa buys guayusa directly from local farmers in Ecuador at fair-trade prices. Try it! It's worth every cent :)

Read Best Reviews of Runa Amazon Guayusa Traditional Tea Here

I discovered guayusa by accident when I saw bottles of Runa's premade iced blends at a local grocery store. I've long been a fan of interesting, obscure teas and tisanes so picked up a bottle to give it a try. I immediately loved the subtlety of the flavor and the lack of bitterness. It definitely tastes similar to mate, but without the harsh notes that are present even in un-smoked types of mate. I immediately ordered some of these tea bags and started drinking it regularly.

Although I started drinking it cause I liked the flavor, I was pleasantly surprised by its energizing effects. I am really susceptible to caffeine, so much so that even two cups of decaf coffee will leave me jittery and unbalanced. This tea, though, definitely leaves me alert but calm, and with a clear-headedness that I rarely get even from green tea. When I can, I have a cup of it in the morning (as the indigenous peoples apparently do) either before, with, or in place of breakfast, and that keeps me going all day. Having some in the late afternoon or evening can keep me awake, but it's been useful when I have to be up late.

If possible, though, I would give this particular product 4.5 stars simply because I find that the pre-packed tea bags do not brew strong enough for my taste. I got a bag of the loose-leaf, though, and find that works much better (and also reduces packaging waste yay). I've also found that the flavor gets a little stronger when the drink is cooler, rather than warm, which is counter intuitive.

I haven't tried their flavored blends yet but honestly I enjoy making my own flavored teas by using the plain guayusa and adding fresh fruit, spices, chunks of ginger, and/or honey.

Protip: The loose-leaf version brews really well in a coffee-press, and it's easy to add chunky fruit and things to it for flavors.

Want Runa Amazon Guayusa Traditional Tea Discount?

I watched a YouTube video on guayusa tea, and heard very good things about it there and on the amazon reviews as welll so I thought I would give it a try. Money well spent! This tea is smooth and easy to drink, and is absolutely delicious with sugar and honey.

Another awesome thing about this tea is the dreams you get. My mother hasn't had a lucid dream in years, and I offered this tea to her one day, and that night she had three vivid lucid dreams! She was so thrilled she bought two more boxes of the Runa guayusa tea. I am so satisfied with this product, and would definitely recommend to anyone who needs some steady energy, focus, and vivid dreams. :)

NuGO Slim Brownie Crunch, 1.59-Ounce (Pack of 12)

If you're one of those folks who craves chocolate bars with some protein as a snack or dessert or on-the-go emergency mini-meal, and you need no gluten, and you want it to taste nice, and you don't want a lot of sugars, and you do not mind soy (this has both soy and whey isolates), this is a nice option.

I can't have a lot of soy. But sometimes, ah, well, I will give in--for some grilled tofu or some tofu red curry or nice miso soup. Well, the other day, I was at Whole Foods, looking for gluten free bar options for my purse (emergency snack ration options), and decided to give it a go, despite the soy. And whoa, liking it.

If you just care about taste--this tastes good.

If you're a crunch fiend--let's say that you like chocolate crunch candies or bars--this fits the bill.

I have used Larabars, Quest bars, Kind bars, and Paleobars, and now I can add this to the arsenal of "What can I dump in my purse when I'm out on a day of errands to stem temptations for utter crap when I'm hungry."

Wish it was just whey in there, but at least the soy is non-GMO. :D

Vegan, gluten-free, kosher, dairy-free, low sugar, moderate-carb, high fiber, with protein and real dark chocolate.... and tasty. That's pretty durn good for a processed, convenience food.

Hope that helps. Be well..

I've searched long and hard and tried dozens of protein bars. Some taste bad, some have tons of fat, some have tons of sugar, some have the even worse sugar substitutes (and claim they are low carb!).

Enough is enough!

Here is the answer, here is what you need. These are protein packed, low sugar, gluten free, delicious bars that after one taste, has me convinced I've found the only bar that I'm going to eat so long as the rest of the market is saturated with faux-health bars.

Most low-carb/high-protein snacks and sweets are full of chemicals these bars are the opposite! OK, perhaps they don't taste like "real chocolate" but they are tasty enough, satisfy sweet-tooth cravings, and thanks to the protein+fibre content, actually make you feel quite full! In my opinion, they are great! And unlike most low-carb sweets, they are actually good for you and made with simple ingredients NO artificial sweeteners and NO sugar alcohols!!!

Want NuGO Slim Brownie Crunch, 1.59-Ounce (Pack of 12) Discount?

We love dark chocolate, so this bar tastes great to us. It's low calorie, only 2g of sugar, 15g of protein and 9g of fiber and it's gluten free! It kind of reminds me of the Hershey Krackel candy (only in dark chocolate). My 9 year old loves these. It makes a great snack. She likes it even more then the other Nugo Dark Chocolate crunch gluten free protein bars.

I'm not a big fan of many protein bars with crisped rice or many different nuts. This one tastes like a candy bar, only I don't feel bad eating it, since it's only 2g of sugar, lower fat, loaded with protein and it's dark chocolate.

Raspberry flavor is good too, if you like raspberry with dark chocolate.

This was my first try with this brand, it was on sale so I thought what the hey. I've bought alot of oat and oat/granola blends that I like better than this brand so I won't be getting these again. They worked ok when I used them in a cookie receipe for some added bulk. I did not like them in a yogurt mixture, or cereal experiment. The spices don't seem right.

These are so tasty with vanilla yogurt..or by themselves! The quality and freshness of the ingredients are top notch! I highly recommend these if you are looking for a gluten-free granola!

Yam Nutritious Instant Cereal (16 Sachets) - 19.60 Oz

I love this cereal, super easy to make (just add boiling water) and has all kinds of yummy/healthy ingredients in it. I am giving it three stars because the price is silly for what you are getting. Save your money and buy it in the Asian market for about 1/4 the price.

I just love this cereal and eat it most mornings. Keep in mind it's more of a porridge (you can add more water to thin it down if desired). It isn't overly salty, so if you eat a lot of salt, it may seem bland. For me, the sodium is well balanced with the other ingredients.

Nature's Path Organic Optimum Power Breakfast Cereal, Blueberry Cinnamon Flax, 14-Ounce Boxes (Pack

Nature's Path is my favorite cereal brand, and OPTIMUM Blueberry is my favorite of them all.

I've been enjoying this cereal for well over 5 years.

It's organic, and full of wonderful beneficial whole grains etc. just read the ingredients list!

It has a mixture of textures, with "twigs", "puffs", flakes, seeds and the little dried blueberries.

It's great with soy milk, dairy milk, yogurt, and even right out of the box as a snack.

I haven't bought it for awhile because it never seems to go on sale anymore, so I was thrilled to find it here on sale for $2.20 a box!

I just got my shipment from Amazon, and want to add a few notes:

While the cereal seems very fresh, I couldn't find an expiration date anywhere on the boxes.

They have changed the packaging, making it even more eco-friendly, and also slightly reformulated the cereal. The box says "Now with 25% less sugar than our previous recipe" Yay! (Don't worry, if you've had this cereal before the change, the taste is still wonderful.) So the "Nutrition Facts" have changed (not drastically) from what Amazon shows, but the fiber has dropped from 10g to 7g. The serving size is still the same at 1 cup (55g).

Here are some of the differences that may be important to you:

Calories were 190, now 200

Protein was 8g, now 9g

Total Fat was 2.5g, now 3g (Still none are saturated fat)

Total Carbs were 40g, now 38g

Fiber was 10g, now 7g (Boo!)

Sugars were 16g, now 9g (Yay!)

Sodium was 200mg, now 230mg

The cinnamon flavor is very mild, I usually add more for flavor and health benefits. I also add a small amount of walnuts (for extra EFA's, taste and crunch), or pecans. Read Update below for more additions.

Unless you are hooked on the average sickeningly-sweet, unhealthy, over-processed mainstream cereals, I think you will love this as much as I do! If you want to try a box before you buy it in bulk here, I've found it at most health food stores, Fry's / Kroger's in their health food sections, and Sprouts.

Even if you are hooked on the other stuff, give this a try, you might be pleasantly surprised. I had bought this for my parents and their verdict is: Dad loves it, Mom likes it.

Update 6/6/09: I just responded with these comments in another review, and thought they might be helpful:

I too would enjoy more berries in the cereal, but it would probably make the price astronomical, so I usually add a little of "Just Tomatoes" brand of freeze dried mixed fruit which is yummy and has a good mix of fruit though I could do without the raisins, they're not so good freeze dried.

Just Tomatoes Just Fruit Munchies, 8-Ounce Tubs (Pack of 2)

They also have only blueberries

Just Tomatoes Just Blueberries, 8-Ounce Tub

plus strawberries, raspberries, apples, pineapple etc. just search "just tomatoes" without quotes in the grocery drop down in the search box.

I first found them at my local upscale grocery store (in smaller sized containers) and they are a little less expensive here, but I also like to support the local store, so I buy them from both places.

There is another brand that I haven't tried, but has gotten great reviews called Traverse Bay that has dried blueberries

Traverse Bay Dried Blueberries, 8-Ounce Bags (Pack of 3)

Traverse Bay Dried Blueberries, 4 lbs

You don't need to use a whole lot in the cereal so they last for awhile. One tip is to keep them in the freezer so they stay crunchy.

Hope this helps!

This cereal is my mainstay. While trying to keep my weight down, it's a great snack to grab instead of something not near as healthy. I can no longer find it in any of the nearby stores, so I have it delivered monthly from Amazon. Really helpful. A healthy, delicious cereal for kids and adults. My grandchildren love to snack on it while watching TV.

Who would ever believe it would be enticing to hear a cereal product called a "crunchy fiber twig"? Well, it actually did appeal to me because I get so tired of nothing but mush in my cereal bowl as soon as I add the liquid. And this product did not disappoint, at least not where crispiness was concerned. I liked reading the box with the folksy, down home feeling used to convey the basic philosophy of the company and their own naturally biased view of their product. As always though, it's up to the consumer to separate the hype from the facts.

The box I bought in the grocery store is different from the one pictured here and I think there has been recent repackaging and reformulating of the cereal. I notice here on Amazon that the product description specifically says there is no vitamin B12 or Folic Acid in this product so that must have been a sticking point before. I found that the cereal itself had a quite nice "nutty" taste and the fiber twigs are very crunchy. A serving size is quoted to be 3/4 cup which is 200 calories. The sugar content per serving is 9g and sodium count is 230mg. The description of the sugar source is "evaporated cane juice". From reading the nutritional list I know not to count on this cereal to supply any appreciable amount of my daily requirements for vitamins or minerals. There are 13 ingredients listed for this cereal. I find it quite interesting that it is called Blueberry Cinnamon Flax when flax is listed as ingredient #5, blueberries as #10 and cinnamon as #12. But something we consumers can easily forget is that these ingredients are listed in order of their volume within the combination. I poured out some dry cereal and tasted each item separately. There is a definite sweet coating on each piece with the exception of the blueberries which have a concentration of their own sweetness from being freeze-dried.

My findings are that the flakes get soggy almost immediately but the "crunchy fiber twigs" stayed crunchy all the way to the final twig, and I'm a dawdler over my cereal. It took me more than 15 minutes to finish the bowl because I was reading and the twigs were still crisp. This cereal does not contain flax SEEDS and it never claims to. If you are expecting seeds, you will be disappointed. There are not many blueberries, but the ones here are very flavorful. In order to get as many blueberries as I would like the box would have to contain almost half blueberries and that is not just ridiculous, it would also be cost prohibitive. I simply accept that as a fact. I used Kefir instead of milk for the yogurt cultures I want and added a fresh peach. This combination (even at the 3/4 cup recommended portion size) lasted me all morning. I was impressed. To begin with I had been slightly worried about the cinnamon flavor in the cereal because that isn't something I'm particularly fond of. I need not have worried because I could not actually taste the cinnamon at all. If you look forward to that taste, you will have some objections to the company using that as a selling point for this product. On another day I took a small zip closure bag of this cereal with me when I knew stopping for lunch would be a problem. It was really good dry from the bag and kept me from giving in to the temptation to stop at a fast food restaurant. Now that was a bonus. I plan to order the six box package here on Amazon. The price is virtually the same as in my grocery store chain, but my store has a monopoly in our area and they stock what they chose when they chose. This is my way of spending MY money the way I want.

Klein's Naturals Mango Slices, (Pack of 6)

Too much sugar is added to the dried mango. It doesn't taske like mango. And it is too soft.

The containers are too flimsy. Half of my 6 containers were broken when arrived, exposing the mango to air. The shipping box is intact. Just the mango containers; they are no good.

The mango from Brand Philippine is much better.

I prefer the no sugar added dried mango. This has no mango taste and the sugar is bad for you.

Buy Klein's Naturals Mango Slices, (Pack of 6) Now

Klein's Mango Slices are fabulous. The slices are not too chewy and not too sweet. They have a true mango taste. The only downside is the poor packaging. The tops rarely stay on and the plastic container occassionally snaps. The positive is that the contents never last more than one day in my house. We purchase the six pack and it lasts maybe six days because of the delicious taste.
