Familia Low-Fat Muesli Cereal, 21-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

Familia Low-Fat Muesli Cereal, 21-Ounce BoxesI have tried all the FAMILIA cerealsI think there are 6muesli and granolas by trial and error this one Familia Low-Fatis for me perfect because I don't like the granolas that are sweetened with honey The Original Style Familias are really mostly just oatmeal and a few raisons not a great value. This one has lots of fruits and nuts without being too sweet.

Drei

A quality product from Bio-familia, a Swedish company that developed "Birchermüesli" a product so popular and successful that made the name Muesli famous all over the world.

If you need a high fiber and protein snack option for your diet, this is absolutely a very good product. You can't go wrong and the best of all: excellent taste and quality, and for a pack of six this comes at a good value. The fact that this cereal is low-fat makes a good product even better if you are trying to lose some weight or wanting to keep in shape.

Sometimes your diet will require you eat frequently and consciously, and in those cases you need to have a snack at hand when you get hungry, in order to keep your metabolism high all day long. In such cases finding a good and balance option could be hard. I love this 6-pack and I always have one at home an another pack at the office. I try to eat five or more times a day, so in my case having a healthy snack at hand wherever I am when I get hungry is a priority.

Since you are checking this product I have to guess that you are probably a person that cares about what you eat, either because you are interested in losing weight, getting in better shape or just be healthier and keep in good shape, so I will share my own experience in the weight loss game and staying in shape game

My own successful personal experience in weight loss is based on strategies to boost metabolism. Don't stress yourself, eat frequently, eat just what you need each time, and choose wisely what you are going to eat, supplement your diet. Yet simple and it works. I loss more than 200 lbs and shrink my waist (from 44 to 32), and I have been able to keep in good shape since then. Every single aspect of my life has improved since then.

Keep in mind that a good diet is just part of the equation, you also need a plan that helps you keep on track and monitor your condition. Based on my own personal experience I can recommend some tools that you may want to consider, to establish your own strategies for boosting your metabolism, loosing weight, and even more important keeping that weight off. They are:

"Ultrametabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss" by Mark Hyman. A practical an realistic plan for weigh loss.

"The ABS Diet", which is another very practical, readable, insightful, and inspirational book, that also includes an exercise plan.

A Body Fat Monitor or Scale. This will help you monitor your progress, to assure that the weight you are loosing is fat (fat lost = increased metabolism) and not muscle, water or bone mass (decreased metabolism).

A Heart Rate Monitor Wrist Watch. This is an excellent tool that will help you monitor and control your Heart Rate in order to keep yourself in a burning fat state (increased metabolism).

"Heart Monitor Training for the Complete Idiot", a primer on the use of Heart Rate Monitors for health improvement or weight control.

If you want to star focusing only on your diet, the first two may be worth considering. If you exercise, or want to start doing it right, the last threee are for you. If you do both, all the recommended options can improve your results.

I am 39 years old, With the help of the tools I just mentioned not only I went fro size 44 to size 32 pants, but also obtained substantial benefits that included weight control, cardiovascular improvements, lowered blood pressure, and improved muscular-skeletal strength and flexibility, but also the myriad of mental and psychological benefits derived from being in the best shape of my life.

Like another reviewer, I've sampled a number of the other Familia mueslis, and other granolas and mueslis at stores.

This is the superior muesli. (I'm eating some now to make sure I get this right...) I wouldn't think of myself as a muesli commentator, but this stuff is surprisingly good so I had to chime in.

It has a good selection of dried fruit and nuts, plus a bit of dried rice and corn flakes for texture. I wasn't particularly looking for low-fat but that's a bonus.

Very tasty to eat! I eat it with breakfast, and often as dessert after dinner.

Enjoy...

I've found purchasing this cereal via Amazon to be the most convenient and economical way to obtain the product on a regular basis. And, if I'm not consuming as much and don't need a delivery, I can skip one. The cartons arrive six per pack and are delivered to my door. What could be better? Plus, it's a product that's sometimes hard to find, and at most grocery stores, its price is at a premium.

This cereal tastes great, isn't high in calories, is low sugar, and has plenty of fiber. It has dried bananas and dates which add to the taste. I usually have one cup cereal, one cup light or nonfat milk, and sliced fruit. It makes a terrific breakfast or lunch. I've ordered the six-pack many times and still enjoy the flavor of this cereal. Highly recommended.

Apple Jelly

Apple JellyAt first I had a hard time finding Apple Jelly. Then I found it on Amazon with the Barry Farm. The Barry Farm Apple Jelly is the best apple jelly I've ever tasted. It's not too sweet and not too tart. It's just right. The best part for me is that this product did not trigger my migraine headaches like so many other products because of artificial flavoring and coloring. Barry Farm uses natural ingredients. It is simply delicious. I highly recommend this product to all apple jelly lovers.

I've had some trouble finding apple jelly as of late. I was encouraged when I found this on Amazon as all my other food purchases on here have been great. I thought it was pretty expensive as jelly goes but decided to order anyway, big mistake. The jelly was separated into a lot of liquid(very sweet) and a little jelly(very bland), needless to say I am still looking for apple jelly.

Grossly overpriced product! For the price, it should be organic. Very weak flavor, appears to be highly diluted! I'll never buy any of their products again!

I've had so much trouble finding apple jelly for sauce recipes ( in this case a spiced ham sauce) that I was delighted to find one here on Amazon! Unfortunately, the flavor was pretty soft and bland.....not particularly "apple" flavored, and it was also runny....... which is odd for apple, which is very high in pectin! I'll have to keep looking.

SoLo Gi Lemon Lift Bars, 1.76-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12)

SoLo Gi Lemon Lift Bars, 1.76-Ounce BarsThese bars recently went up almost $5 a box. Unfortunately, this has led to me cancelling my subscription to these. They are one of my favorite snacks but the bar is pretty small and for the price it isn't worth it to me anymore.

Other than that it is a great product!

I used to be able to find these bars at the local stores. For whatever reason, they all stopped selling them. These bars are friggin awesome!!! They taste great, don't hype you up and let you crash like bars with sugar, they taste great, are soft and easy on the teeth and the taste great!

Thank you for selling these Solo bars. Our local supermarket used to carry these and stopped. I have trouble with hypoglycemia, so need energy bars with low glycemic index and no chocolate (berry or lemon). Solo is one of the few or only bars that tastes great and doesn't cause sugar problems. Thus I have become dependent on having these with me at work and on trips for the mid morning sugar low or pre workout snack in afternoon.

Filling, tastes great, and keeps hunger away for a few hours. My favorite Solo flavors (in order) are Peanut Power, Lemon Lift, and Berry Bliss. The chocolate charger tends to be too hard to chew and a little dry.

These are great bars. Tastey, filling and no crash from HFCS. I recommend highly.

Be aware that the coating does melt if it gets too warm, so keeping in the purse in August will yeild a slightly smeary snack. If you plan to travel with them, make sure they stay cool.

Mountain House Breakfast Skillet Camping Food (1 Can)

Mountain House Breakfast Skillet Camping Food
  • Easy to prepare?just add hot water
  • Includes ten 1 cup servings
  • 25 year shelf life
  • Made in the USA
  • Single Can
  • Easy to prepare, just add hot water

OK, first off, I really am a Chef. I have cooked in 4-star restaurants and greasy spoon dives in my 20+ year career. That having been said, these meals are actually far better than I expected them to be for something that will supposedly last 25 years. Sounds crazy I know, but it's true. However, if you're not sure if you will like them or not, I would suggest buying the single serving size pouches (also available on Amazon) and trying them out. That's what I did, and was not disappointed. Flavors are pretty good overall, I particularly like the beef stroganoff. It actually has a nice sour-creamy flavor, and the noodles and beef chunks are very flavorful. I'm not saying it's "just like Mom used to make", but after working a long shift, I'm more than happy to break one of these out and eat it.

Some textures may not be appealing to some people. I kind of had a problem with the eggs, but I got over it. They just seemed...wrong(?), somehow. Also, it is very important to use HOT water and let the meals sit for the required amount of time, or some bits may not fully rehydrate and still have a "spongy" texture. I guarantee, if you use cold or lukewarm water, you will be cursing me forever for recommending this stuff to you. Please don't do that! ZombieChef wants to help you!

I can highly recommend these to anyone who is looking for food for backpacking, camping, or to have in your home, car, or Bug-Out Bag in case of floods, hurricanes or the Zombie Apocalypse. My personal favorites are: Beef Stew, Beef Stroganoff, and Chicken and Noodles. Oh, and one more thing, try to save room for dessert!

I do have one small issue with this product but it is a very tiny one. Read on to find out about that because I want to list the PROS of these strawberries first.

Since buying these, we have ordered several more for storage in case of an emergency. We went through the first container and tested it two ways:

1. Eating it dry and straight from the container

2. Adding water so that the strawberries were closer in taste and texture to real strawberries and could be mixed into oatmeal or as a topping on other products.

In both cases, these strawberries were very tasty and each serving has 60% of the daily value for Vitamin C (although I don't know if this is for someone needing 2000 calories a day or less; they don't provide that info). For anyone with health problems, these have no fat of any kind, avoiding any issues with saturated, trans fat and cholesterol.They do have 2 grams of fiber, not terribly significant as well as 6 grams of sugar (but actual strawberries have natural sugar, too)

They are so delicious that we found ourselves often reaching for a handful as a snack and our kids loved them, too. Because they are dried, they have a crunchy texture. If you have a finicky eater and wonder if he is getting enough nutrition, you might be lucky enough to find that these are accepted. If so, you can ditch much of the junk food and let them snack on these (although it would be expensive to use them as a main snack food).

If you plan to go camping, you get at least 16 servings per container, although serving size is rather small.

In an emergency, you'd either need bottled water or an excellent water filtration system but only IF you wanted a softer texture. They don't need to have water to be used as is. In an emergency, you could easily stretch these to more than 16 servings, especially if used to top oatmeal or dry cereal or if you added a sprinkling to dry cereal.

For camping, the container is VERY lightweight, easy to bring along. If you wanted to use these as a snack food while taking a short hike from you camping ground, they would be best in a bag. The container is too large to be reasonable in a backpack for a short hike or even an all day hike.

Since these are high in Vitamin C, they are a nice alternative to Vitamin C tablets. So you get the Vitamin C benefits of strawberries, significant per serving, after you've gone through any fruit you bought before camping or have at home when an emergency happens. In fact, I'd make a case for leaving fresh fruit at home when camping. Use this product instead.

They also work well when added to kids' lunches or when taken to work in a small container for an alternative to candy bars or chips in the snack machines.

Add water and you'll have a bit more bulk.

Now here is my only issue and it is a small one: Open the container and you are likely to find it is half full. The dried strawberries settle. This makes it look like they've shorted you. But we weighed and measured each portion and there were indeed 16 full portions inside.

Nutritional Content and Serving Size: 1/2 cup; Total Calories: 35; Vitamin C: 60% of daily requirements, From Fat: 0; Total Fat: 0 grams; Saturated Fat: 0 grams; Transfat Acid: 0 grams; Cholesterol: 0 milligrams; Sodium: 0 milligrams; Carbos: 10 grams; Dietary Fiber: 2 grams; Sugars: 6 grams; Protein: 0 grams

Ha! Yeah, how do they?

I actually like Mountain House's Freeze Dried Lasagna, I would have rated it 5 stars, except it isn't exactly lasagna. Its more like an "Italian Pasta and cheese stew". Its a bit messy, but really Darn Tasty! You get alot of Mini-Lasagna noodles in a sweet tomato sauce, with real cheese chunks. Trust me it tastes alot better than I made it sound! The Stuff in the #10 cans keep for about 35 years! And it doesn't get any easier to prepare, Add water, wait!

The Mountain House Beef Stew is excellent considering that it is vacuum packed in nitrogen and sealed in #10 cans with a shelf life of 30 years. Other reviewers have covered the outstanding taste and quality. I have another consideration.

Americans spend a fortune on home-owner's and auto insurance every year. Some more than others. However, when it comes to the basics necessary for survival, most pay little attention if any at all.

"WHY WORRY ABOUT FOOD, WATER, LIGHT AND HEAT INSURANCE?

THE GOVERNMENT WILL MAKE CERTAIN THAT ALL AMERICANS WILL

HAVE ADEQUATE FOOD, WATER, LIGHT AND HEAT, RIGHT?"

HOW MUCH ARE YOU WILLING TO GAMBLE ON THIS STATEMENT?

Unlike other types of insurance, the money spent insuring an adequate food supply will not be lost. Ten years from now, considering inflation, freeze-dried food purchased in 2011 can be enjoyed at a fraction of the cost that you'd pay at a grocery store in 2021. So, even if an emergency situation never happens, you are still saving money. This can't be said for money spent on homeowner's and auto insurance.

For an extensive menu of available freeze-dried foods, you might also search Saratoga Farms, Emergency Essentials and Provident Pantry.

Don't get caught with your pantry down.

Coombs Family Farms 100% Organic Maple Sugar, 25-Ounce Container

Coombs Family Farms 100% Organic Maple Sugar, 25-Ounce ContainerI have substituted this maple sugar in recipes (2/3 cup maple sugar = 1 cup cane sugar) with much success. Great product.

No, this is not sweeter than honey nor regular sugar nor even artificial sweetener. However, it has the maple flavor that I need to add to certain winter cocktails (hot buttered rum, replacing some of the dark brown sugar with this) and to tea. If you are expecting something super potent and super maple, like maple sugar candy, this ain't it. It's what you'd expect from something that is pure and not artificially enhanced with other sugars or maple flavoring. I'm satisfied and I think anyone would be IF they have proper expectations.

Looking for something else when I stumbled on this sugar. Thought, "what the heck, give it a try". I love the packaging that allows for spoon or sift. The sugar itself does not clump and dissolves well. I've tried it on hot cereal and pork & beans. It is delicious and adds that something special for your palate to enjoy. Buy with confidence and prepare to be delighted.

I wasn't sure exactly what to do with Maple Sugar, so I just started adding it to my everyday baking items. It adds a nice warm flavor to cookies/pancakes/breads, etc. Blends well and tastes great on top of oatmeal.

Ordered this for my wife who needed it for a recipe. Turns out that the granular (small pellets) maple sugar is actually very versatile and can be used where regular and brown sugar is used as an add-on or finishing touch.

There was a moment of disappointment & then I opened the jar and tasted it: YUM!! :)

Very rosy!
