Kashi Blueberry Waffles

Their comes a time when we wake up and say "i need to get healthy" that last's for a few days and then we notice we cant eat all the food we loved and we are back to our normal habits and heavier than before, It's a vicious circle. BUT! what if i told you, you could still eat the delicious Blueberry waffles we all know, love, and crave?! Sound too good to be true? Well, With Kashi it is a reality! At only 150 calories per 2 waffles with only 3g of sugar and as an added bonus their is 560mg Omega-3 ALA *For Heart Health* 4g of protein and 6g of fiber! There is also 8g of fat. BUT!!! DONT BE ALARMED! Those 8g of Fat ARE HEALHTY FATS! They are the Heart Healthy Omega-3 Fat's. Now you may be thinking "OK it's another frozen health food that tastes like cardboard." That is not the case here, These Waffles even though they are made with whole grain tastes just like regular waffles. The Waffles themselves are filled with blueberry's, the blueberrys arnt just hit and miss in the waffles like other Healthy blueberry waffles, i guarantee you get a piece of a blueberry in every bite! Their really isn't much bad about these waffles, i guess if you are into presentaion they seem to have a greyish look to them. Some also have a blueish tint to them because of all the blueberry's. Personally to me the blueish looking ones show me that they went all out when putting in the blueberry's. The price is a bit steep at about $7 a box depending on where you get them, If you look online you may be able to find coupons like i did and get the waffles for about $2 or even a Buy One Get One Free coupon. Those are the ONLY drawbacks i can think someone would have for these waffles. I would actually reccomend these waffles more so than their Go-Lean Blueberry waffles because These Waffles Actually have 20 LESS calories than the Go-Lean!!! *170cal in Go-Lean* *150cal in the Regular Blueberry* Overall these waffles are great! I personally can not tell the difference between these healthy waffles and regular sugar filled blueberry waffles. Overall i give these an 8/10 Because The grey tint can be a turn off to most people and the price is a bit steep, especially if you cant find coupons. So i Took off 2 points for those 2 flaws. BUT The taste overall is a 9/10. Overall altogether i guess i could bump these up to a 9/10 because the grey tint does not personally bother me, only the price gets me, The taste also persuades me to really give these a great rating and the healthy facts like the 4g of protein 6g of fiber and 560mg of heart healthy omega-3's really helps as well. Once and for all my final rating is a great rating of 9/10 These are great and healthy! What more could you want? *****I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR VIEWING MY SITE 113 VIEWS IN 4 DAYS!

Quaker True Delights Hazelnut Latte Instant Oatmeal.

Yesterday was a grocery day so i went down to my local store and checked out some of the new items, usually i love to find new cereals, as im a cereal junkie. This time in the breakfast isle i feasted my eyes on oatmeal. yes oatmeal! I havent bought oatmeal in such a long time because the flavored oatmeals usually dont do it for me and the real oatmeal is too blah. i will come out and say that, regular un-flavored oatmeal is blah... 100% blah. To be honest i was a bit iff'y about buying this oatmeal, i love hazelnut and latte's but in an oatmeal? umm....pass? I bought it anyways just so i could see if i was knocking it too hard in my mind or if it really is worth it. Well here i am this morning. I woke up hungry this morning like i usually do, and the first thing i went for is the True Delights Hazelnut Latte. i pored it into a bowl, still same brown packets that looks like you arnt getting much oatmeal at all, still huge clumps of pure sugar. Nothing different so far. I added my almond milk and threw it in the microwave for a minute. When it was done i took a nice long whiff of it and, WOW is all i can say, it really does smell like a hazelnut latte. I took my first spoonful and was very pleased with the flavor, the warm latte flavor really just hit me very nicely, it was relaxing in a way. I took another bite and OUCH something scratched my throat! I look down and here they put in little hazelnut pieces! Awesome! but i wish i would have known that before i choked! Given, on the box it shows little pieces on top, but i honestly thought that was just to make it look nicer, sort of like when you buy fish and it shows the lemon beside it with the parsley on top. It doesn't really have the lemon or parsely it just makes the picture look better. so fair warning this does have real hazelnut pieces in it so dont choke like i almost did! overall the flavor was very very good the smell was even better. i give this an 8/10

Ben and Jerry's Red Velvet Cake Ice-Cream!

Ben and Jerry's. Once you hear those 2 names you think, "OMG AMAZING ICE-CREAM!" and "OMG WACKY FLAVOR ICE-CREAM THATS AMAZING!" Well here we have Red Velvet cake. Not very wacky, but Red Velvet Cake HAS to be my favorite flavor of cake. Anyday. Anywhere. Anytime. My last 3 birthday's i made sure people bought me a red velvet cake. I'm that in love with it. Now lets see how i stumbled onto this flavor, Well personally im a Ben & Jerry's Stalker. I went on their web-page and it said Red Velvet Cake was a new flavor from them that was now available. So i drove down to my local wal-mart about 30min away from here to stock up on new flavors of Ben & Jerry's *Hint Hint More reviews ;)* And it looked like everyone else found out that their were new flavors as i got the last pint of the Red Velvet! I could not drive home eager enough to try the flavor. When i finally reached home i ran upstairs grabbed my extra big spoon and dug in! The first bit was incredible! I could taste frosting. i dug deeper WOW a huge piece of real Red Velvet Cake! I tasted the batter of the cake and from their i was in love. I swear for those 10min i was in heaven. And thats the only thing i hate about Ben and Jerry's the size is too small and it go's to quick haha, after my 1,000cal worth of Ben and Jerry's and suffering through an intense sugar rush i made up my mind. Red Velvet Cake is by far THE best flavor of ice-cream i have ever had. With Red velvet cake you get it all, the frosting is their, the cake pieces are huge, the batter taste amazing. its a win for Ben and Jerry's. 10/10
