Want to lose weight but not give up your favorite breakfast muffin? Well Vitalicious makes it easy to lose the extra pounds and keep the Chocolate Chip Muffin in the morning! I stumbled upon these a while back, and seem to stumble upon them over and over again when i go shopping. These Muffins are only 100 calories, have 4g of protein and a whopping 9g of fiber! *36% of your daily value* And Another bonus to these is all the vitamins it has in it! Each muffin contains AT LEAST 50% of your Daily Value for your essential Vitamins like Vitamin A, C, D and E. Enough about all the Healthy Facts about this Muffin, Lets take a look on what we really care about... TASTE! Now you may be thinking, "It must Be small to be 100calories" Nope. it is actually about the size of my palm And i have pretty good sized palms. it weighs 2oz as well. You may Also think " They must be filled with artificial sweetners to be that low in calories. Wrong Again They use Organic Sugar and Honey as their sweetener. "Ok, Ok, Then it must taste like Cardboard!" Sorry! you can not be more wrong there. These muffins are amazing i have tried The Banana Nut and the Deep Chocolate and i have to say the Deep Chocolate is my favorite by far! The Banana nut is really good as well though, it tastes like the same Banana Bread my grandma used to make. Maybe my Grandma has a secret job for Vitalicious she isnt telling me about hmmmmm?  These are great on the go as well you can just toss them in the microwave for about 10-20sec depending on your microwaves power. Or you could take it to work, put it in the fridge and it will be ready by lunch time. Even better yet put one in your child's lunch bag in the morning and they will be loving you for this one! You will be happy your child is having something so nutritions and they will be happy you gave them something so Delicious! The Deep Chocolate Flavor is amazing straight out of the microwave, it is full of little chocolate chips and is so moist and gooey you would think it has to be over 100cal. I am floored by this invention and it HAS to be my favorite healthy breakfast item of all time! Move over bland egg whites because Vita-Muffin is here to stay! A trick i use to make it even better than it already is, is smear some Peanut butter on top and you will be in glorious Healthy-Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Muffin-Heaven! These are also great with a nice glass of Almond milk YUMMMY! They are a really good price at my local store about $4 a box of 4, which is only $1 a muffin and you cant get something that nutritious of a muffin at a fast food place i can guarantee! So if you are watching your diet and want to feel like you are cheating, make sure and pick yourself up a box of Vitalicious Vita-Muffins at your local store! You can also buy them on their website www.vitalicious.com 10/10 for these!

Cream Of Wheat Cinnabon Flavor.

Cream of wheat is known for not only being around for a long time *Since 1893!* but it is also known for me despising it. I have always dis-liked cream of wheat, all the other members in my family always seem to enjoyed it, i remember asking my mom what it tasted like when i was younger, it only took one spoonful of the original flavor for me to dis-like it. i was always a Sugary Cereal kid not a Bland cream of wheat kid. That to me wasn't being a kid. i felt old eating it. But here i am today Bowing to the feet of the inventor of this flavor of Cream of Wheat. It is literally amazingly sweet. If you have an Aunt Annie's Pretzel shop around you, you will find this flavor very very close if not exactly like the Iced Cinnamon Rasin Pretzel. I stumbled upon this flavor while looking at cereal and oatmeal in the breakfast cereals section of my local market. The flashbacks of the bland taste on my tongue hit me for a moment as i locked eyes with the man on the Cream of Wheat box. He was mocking me, he knew he would get me with this flavor. After my stare down with him i looked down on the box'es artwork and saw a Cinnamon Bun next to a hot bowl of Cream of Wheat. It was the Cinnamon Bun that made me want this. Today i woke up, tore open the packet and put it in a bowl and mixed it with almond milk. Now i want to warn you all, There definitely looks like there would be more in the packet if you were going by the front of the box, i would guess they used maybe 3 packets and water to get that bowl almost overflowing. Either that or 1 packet and a very, very, very, mouse sized bowl. 1 packet is all i could do because it is loaded with sugar, 14g per serving. If you arnt watching your sugar intake however, then dont worry it is pretty low calorie, only 130cal per packet, Filled with vitamins, has 1% fiber *better than nothing!* and 3g of protein. This Flavor of Cream of Wheat will give you that sugar buzz to get through the first half of your day. Yes i know i really got off topic there. So i tore open the packet put it in a bowl with almond milk microwaved it for a minute and took it out, i put too little milk in it so it actually came out kind of like a pancake haha so i added more milk and then it actually looked like Cream of Wheat should. You could tell there was a lot of Cinnamon in their as well witch to me was awesome to see, The best part about the look of it is that the color not only matched the color of the Cream of Wheat on the box, it matched the color of the Cinnamon bun! How cool is that? Next I took a whiff of it and wow! Smells like a Cinnamon bun, then the moment of truth, the flashbacks of the taste of bland Cream of Wheat and the man on the box laughing at me as he forced me to eat more and more and more until i was on Wheat overload. Ok, maybe not that intense but still. The spoon and Cream of wheat touched my tongue and i smiled. THIS IS AMAZING! My taste-buds shouted, do it again! I lifted the spoon again, and again, and again. And then sadly it was gone. i couldn't believe myself, i fell in love with something that i hated as a child. The taste of this is unbelievable and un-matchable. It is creamy, Sugary, and tastes just like a Cinnamon bun. i will forever be a fan of Cream of Wheat. And now me and the man on the box can Exchange Smiles to each other and be friends once and for all. 10/10 for this flavor of Cream of wheat! Well worth the money.

Post Shredded Wheat Vanilla Almond

Like i have said i am a cereal J-U-N-K-I-E! I dont know what it is about cereal that i love but i really do love it! This Cereal is Sort of new to Post Cereals line of Shredded wheat, Along with this they now have Honey Nut flavored. Let me tell you right now, this cereal is amazing! I love it! You get the nice smooth Vanilla taste with a nice CRUNCH of almond! It says it has the almonds baked in but It seems like they actually filled the Shredded wheat with an almond filling? I have no clue what they did but what ever they did they hit a home run with it! I actually had to stop buying this cereal because i was going through a box every few days! I see myself buying this again real soon though haha. The best part about this cereal is it stays crunchy in milk! Just like good ol captain crunch... Minus the whole cutting the roof of your mouth part that i hate! I contribute the cereal staying crunchy to the almond filling that seems to be in them, in some of the Shredded wheat rectangles you will have a big crunch you look in it and their is part of an almond, in others you will taste almond but yet nothing is there i call that Ghost Almond. I really like mixing a little bit of peanut butter in the Vanilla Almond Shredded Wheat and milk and it is a taste that will blow you away. Thats why i was going through Peanut butter so fast as well haha. This cereal is definitely my favorite cereal around at this point in time! Until they re-release the oreo cereal *Fingers crossed* I will keep a bowl full of Post Shredded Wheat Vanilla Almond Close to my heart.....and mouth.

Ben and Jerry's Late Night Snack Ice-Cream

Yep another B&J review, remember when i said i picked up a few new flavors? Yep this was one of the few i was talking about, Ben and Jerry's Late night snack, if you haven't heard about it already it is made with Fair triad ingredients and has Vanilla, Salty caramel, and Chocolate covered Potatoe chips in it. SOUNDS EPIC!!! I love all of that! I love caramel and vanilla and every Christmas my aunt makes chocolate covered potatoe chips that i easily put away single handedly :). I have read all over that this flavor is "The best ice cream flavor ever invented" or "AMAZING!!!" or "I want to eat this 24/7 for the rest of my life." Well, I put all those theories to the test, When you first open the pint of ice-cream you see vanilla ice-cream that has a swirl of caramel and chocolate pieces spread throughout the whole thing. I have to say at this point my expectations were higher than high. I took my first bite. Nothing special. Not special at all. All i tasted was vanilla and salty Caramel, oh wait, i dint get a chocolate piece in that scoop, so i went for another i made sure i got it all in this scoop, i had a huge chunk of a chocolate covered potato chip, a nice swirl of Salty caramel and then a lot of vanilla ice-cream this time i knew i was going to be in heaven, I took a bite and crunched it around, OUCH! The little chunk cut up the roof of my mouth! it was like captain crunch all over again! I was done at my second bite. The flavor was nothing special, the caramel was honestly sickeningly salty and the chocolate covered potato chips cut up the roof of my mouth! I have many reasons to dis-like this flavor. The fact that i am knocking a ben and jerry's favor SHOULD come as a shocker. I love Ben and Jerry's! This is the first flavor i have tried that. A: i didn't like and B: Hurt me! LITERALLY! I Give this flavor a 3/10 The vanilla is good, and the caramel is ok and if the Chocolate Chip didn't cut me i probably would give this a 4/10 but either way it was just bad. not too much flavor in this and it is overly salty. Sorry B&J but put this flavor in the graveyard.

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

First Post! Better'n Peanut Butter Review.

Hey Everyone! First off welcome to my blog page....Now onto the review haha, So i went shopping today for food and i had just run out of peanut butter at home, and yes i am a PB addict so i needed my fix, as im walking up and down the isle pacing back and forth to find the best looking All Natural Peanut Butter, i found Better'n Peanut Butter, Which states in all capitals in bold "ALL NATURAL" and it also says "85% less fat * 100 Calories Per Serving" Me, i count my calories and everything i've lost 100lbs so far doing so, and you may wonder "How can he eat and review junk food if he lost all that weight" well.... A: i count calories :p if that ben and jerry's ice-cream fits in my calories Heck yes i will have it! haha. Sorry about straying off topic. back to the Peanut Butter. I bought the Low Sodium, and above Low Sodium it says "MADE WITH REAL PEANUTS" well... Ok then! Good, i was afraid they were going to give me fake peanuts.... When you turn the jar around it has your nutrition facts, 2tbsp (32g) = 100cal Awesome!! when you look at the ingredients though its weird how it is "All Natural" the natural ingredients i see are Peanut flour, rice syrup, tapioca, cane juice *sugar* salt, and natural colors and flavors, the rest i was kind of uneasy about are these "Vegetable glycerine, lechtin, Tocopherol, and Sodium Ascorbate."  With further research the Tocopherol and Sodium Ascorbate are just Vitamin e and c. So no big deal there, Lechtin is from soy and im not against soy so i will let it slide. Now Vegetable Glycerine on the other hand i read about and really didnt find anything wrong with it so.... The ingredients are pretty set. Now when i got home i couldnt wait to try it but before that i had a nice workout, afterwards i opend the peanut butter, Now it doesnt really look like peanut butter, it kind of looks like if you microwaved peanut butter and gave it a lighter tint, this is what you would get. The consistency awkwardly enough is that of Caramel... And i measured it to 32g AKA: 100calories, it says 2tbsp but realistically its about one sort of heaping tablespoon. its so thick and dense that its heavy. The taste is very thick and gooey in your mouth and to some that may be off-putting. It is very peanutty and actually has a caramel kind of after-taste. but no where on the jar does it say caramel is in this. maybe it is just the consistency making it like that? maybe im tricking my brain. Some of it happend to get on my fingers and they are very sticky, usually if you get PB on you it gets oily. this is sticky. The PB Alone i think is pretty good, added onto something it tastes even better. Pros- 100cal, Peanutty, Carmel like aftertaste. Cons- Pricey *about 7$ a jar!!!!* Thick, Sticky, Very dense so you get less that you would think. overall i rate this peanut butter a 7/10. Good. But didnt quite do it for me.
