Master of Mixes Lite Margarita, Sugar Free, 33.8 -Ounce

Master of Mixes Lite Margarita, Sugar Free, 33.8 -OunceI got this margarita mix from a local liquor store. The lite will save you some calories if you are trying to stay away from it. Reasonably priced compared to other mixes.

The thing that I didn't like is the taste. It tastes like a bad diet soda. It really put a wet blanket on my margarita experience. Let me say, it dampened the spirits.

Wolferman's Heritage Crumpets Sampler

Wolferman's Heritage Crumpets SamplerI like crumpets much better than English muffins. Can't get them in local stores. These are yummy, I freeze them and take out a packet as I need them.

Navitas Naturals Goldenberries, 4-Ounce Pouches

Navitas Naturals Goldenberries, 4-Ounce PouchesThese are so delicious! I buy them as a special treat for my son, but occasionally splurge and eat them myself. Such a wonderful taste and so good for you!They are expensive, but not bad if you think about all the work that goes into them and the fact that it's an exotic fruit from far away.

I was surprised by the tart taste at first and didn't think I would order this again. But after awhile, the tartness and sweetness are kind of addictive.

I don't like raisins, so didn't like these.

But NOW i REALLY don't like that this survey is requiring me to type 12 more words. Ridiculous!

This is the way to go if you like to purchase food that is not perishable. The berries are fresher since they haven't been sitting on a shelf for weeks. Very reasonable. No shipping charges if order over a reasonable amount.

These are okay, but not real tasty. I would not order more. They are really bitter and not something I enjoy

Big Sky Cranberry Almond Granola, 12-Ounce (Pack of 3)

Big Sky Cranberry Almond Granola, 12-OunceMy family and I have been enthusiastic consumers of this granola for years. We even switched grocery stores when our old one stopped carrying it. I'd say we went through about 2 bags a week, pretty regularly. Recently I have not been able to find my familiar package at the store--like the one pictured on Amazon. Instead the grocery store carried only the new "clusters." Disappointed by the change in structure and recipe, I went to Amazon to see if I could get the old one back. I was pleased to see it pictured--the old one, not the clusters. So I ordered SIX packages of the stuff. Instead of getting my old favorite granola, I got the darn clusters. We are hanging on to the granola we got from Amazon (it's not so bad that I need to send it back) but unless the old one returns, count us as "used to be customers." The clusters, which is what you'll get now, have far fewer nuts in favor of what seems to be less expensive fillers. Not fans of the new and "improved" clusters.

I'm a granola fanatic, make my own, and have tried every granola available... this is the best ever!

Atkins Day Break Bar, 5 Bars

Atkins Day Break Bar Chocolate Hazelnut -- 5 BarsI've been on Atkins for a couple of weeks now and was really wanting a sweet. I'm so bored with all of the chocolate based bars so I bought a box of these, and they were phenomenal. The bottom of the bar is white chocolate (or whatever they made to taste like white chocolate) which was delicious. The cranberry taste was tart yet sweet and the most real fruity/sweet thing I've had since being on Atkins other than a grape the other day and a couple of strawberries today. When I'm craving a cookie, muffin, or ice cream, this bar really works well to meet my craving while being very delicious.

Of course, we'd all like the bars to be less than a dollar and a quarter each, but considering the non-Atkins alternatives, these are definitely worth it if it keeps me on Atkins. I hope Amazon adds this item to their subscribe and save plan.

I absolutely love this bar! Soft with a hint of crunch, frosting on top, and oh-so-sinful taste, this has become my new snack of choice to calm the sugar cravings.

I have been living a low carb lifestyle for quite some time and find that most bar style readymade products have a very strange texture and/or taste. I also do not care for everything being dipped or covered in an odd, metallic chocolate flavoring. Then, I found this product. I am happy to say that this tastes like a real cookie to me and I find it to be a great addition to my diet. I usually start my day off with my coffee and one of these cookies. I am good to go for quite awhile before I have another meal. I am just not a big morning breakfast kind of person and this is perfect for me. There is a little drizzle of frosting on the cookie which really sweetens it up and I enjoy the texture of this product, as well. I would recommend this to anyone who is sick of trying things and hoping to find something that tastes and feels like the "real thing". My grown daughter also loves these, she was shocked to learn it was a low carb product. Now, I just have to hope they don't discontinue it for some reason. I am hoping this is a keeper for the Atkins people to keep producing.

When I'm watching carbs, these bars are great for travel or times when I can't get to good food. They are tasty (while lots of other low carb bars taste like medicine).

Twinings Pure Peppermint Tea, K-Cup for Keurig Brewers

Twinings Pure Peppermint Tea, K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig K-Cup Brewers 24-CountI have the Keurig Platinum Series and brew this peppermint tea on the 10 oz setting. I have not tried it on the other settings sizes. On the 10 oz setting, the tea comes out very smooth and without any bitterness or after taste at all. It is a very soothing tea. I highly recommend it!

Twinings Pure Peppermint Tea Keurig K-Cups, 25 Count Good product but would prefer a brighter, livelier taste. Could be I need to brew it in a smaller amount of water. Had a problem when the tea was inadvertently left out of a larger order, but one email brought a reply/apology the next day and a "replacement" order in two days. Way-to-go Amazon!!! Customer service par excellence!!

A super tasting tea. My family drinks it when their throats are sore, they have a cold or flu or sinuses are filling full. It's great just as a warm me up drink after coming in from the outside. It's real 100% peppermint leaves, no additives and in the K Cup, it's hot & ready in under a minute....with no mess. Just sit right down and start enjoying it aroma & taste.

Love this tea. It's so good. I do not like other mints in my tea so this is wonderful. It comes out good and strong and I can often use the k-cup twice. I drink this tea every day and don't even need to add sweetener or milk.

I've been using this tea ever since I received my Keurig coffee maker. I've used other mint teas over a period of time, but this is by far the best. My husband, who is NOT a tea drinker, has now gotten in the habit of this tea at night. If you can make a believer and tea drinker out of him, you know the tea has to be good!!!

Dukan Diet Oat Bran Bars Coconut Almond - 5.28 oz

Dukan Diet Oat Bran Bars Coconut Almond - 5.28 ozThese bars are helpful in keeping the right amount of oat bran in my diet. Flavor is good, though they are small.

Didn't like the taste. At all. Didn't end up eating them. Even my friend's little toddler wouldn't eat them. Would not recommend.

Orgran Super Grains Multigrain O's with Quinoa Gluten Free -- 10.5 oz

Orgran Super Grains Multigrain O's with Quinoa Gluten Free -- 10.5 ozI am a Huge fan of this cereal. The fact that it is gluten free, contains quinoa, and tastes great makes me hungry just thinking about it. It has great crunch, and stays crispy in soy milk. It doesn't get soggy like a lot of gluten free cereals, and believe me, I have tried them all. It isn't sweeteened, so I top off my bowl with a handful of organic raisins. Perfection!

I really like this cereal. Eating gluten-free, dairy-free & cane sugar-free it was hard to find a cereal that wasn't just rice. Using unsweetened vanilla-flavored almond milk & a little stevia makes it a terrific tasting cereal. It has just the right amount of crunch for a good mouth feel. This is not Cheerios, and a change of diet forces you to think differently about what can satisfy your tastebuds.

This tasted horrible and had a disgusting texture. After one handful, I couldn't eat anymore and threw away the box.

Kellogg's Krave Chocolate, 11.4 oz

Kellogg's Krave Chocolate, 11.4 ozWe bought this on a whim. My daughter wanted to try it out and was pulled in by the chocolate centers. It went quickly and we bought it again.

I like it but I wouldn't consider it to be an every morning bowl of cereal. I much prefer a more hearty cereal with a little more substance.

Krave makes for a fun snack and can take away that chocolatey craving. It's pretty dry and the chocolate inside is really some kind of a paste.

I'd rate it moderate for nutritional content, pretty good for flavor. Not the best cereal by any means.

Nature's Path Organic Millet Rice Oatbran, Wheat Free Cereal, 32-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6)

Nature's Path Organic Millet Rice Oatbran, Wheat Free Cereal, 32-Ounce BagsI recently tried to find my food allergies by going on an "elimination diet" which initially means I could not eat any foods with any wheat, dairy, corn, refined sugar, etc. This millet rice cereal got me through this initial period because it actually tasted good. I would eat it with my rice milk and whatever fruit I was allowed to eat at the time. I also liked it because it is crisp and does not get soggy too fast like some other cereals I tried. The larger size of this bag was handy and less expensive than buying the smaller boxes.

Something a morning, afternoon, or any time of the day can do with! FILLING, SATISFYING, FANTASTIC.

You won't be disappointed with these tasty, crunchy flakes. They are not extremely sweet like much of the typical fare you find in the grocery store, but throw in a few raisins, and you have yourself a tasty, gluten-free "raisin bran!"

The flakes are nice and crunchy, but they will get soft if you leave them sitting in the milk for very long.

I really appreciate companies like Nature's Path that still make some healthy GMO-free cereals without unecessary sugar, additives, and supplements.

This cereal has been my breakfast staple for the last 10 years. Five out of the seven days in the week, I've been eating this cereal in the mornings. But, a few months ago, something changed. The cereal no longer holds up in milk. Within seconds, the flakes are soggy and truly unappealing. What happened, Nature's Path? Changing the formula was a huge mistake. You have lost my business after 10 loyal years. I'm now in search of a good whole grain flake that is low in sugar that holds up in milk.

May 20: I wrote to Nature's Path to complain. They explained that they had a new plant manufacturing the cereal and that the new plant had failed to meet their expectations. NP has adjusted their specs and the cereal is now back to its former glory-no longer soggy and tasting of cardboard. They shipped me a box of 6 bags to make up for the frustration, which was kind-and the cereal seems to be back to how it was before.

I've been eating this cereal for several years now. So much so, that I now order it in bulk from Amazon. I love the crunch, the fact that it's not made of white flour, and that it goes well with soy milk. "Millet Rice" is kind of a misnomer since it has many other ingredients. Unlike other cereals, I'm not hungry 2 hours after I eat this.
