Kashi GoLean Crisp! Toasted Berry Crumble

WOW! LONG TIME NO SEE err WRITE EVERYONE! I apologize for not doing any reviews for quite a while. But we are Back on track now! Today we have Another Cereal, This is "Kashi GoLean Crisp! Toasted Berry Crumble" The name itself seems really attractive, "GO LEAN" Makes you think "Wow i will get in shape with this!" The "Crisp!" Makes you think nice crunch! and the "Toasted Berry Crumble" Makes you think Fresh, dessert flavor. Some more plus'es for this are the following: 9g Protein, 8g fiber, 18g whole grains. The taste is wonderfully delicious! I ate a whole box in a day. yea i know im horrible. but thats how delicious it was! It was so delicious i have stopped buying it. seriously. The berrys are chewy and taste very fresh and sweet i found more cranberries that anything in it. some blueberries here and there as well, but cranberries were the most abundant. So taste was a 9/10 excellent. Now for the Horribly BAD drawback to this cereal. If you are disgusted please turn off your monitor or close the laptop and walk away from the computer. Ready? Are you sure? Ok....Here we go.... THE GAS!!! I have not had so much gas in my life! i pass gas about every 10min with this stuff after eating it. i stopped eating it 2 days ago and the gas is still here! And another thing that comes with the gas is the Diarrhea. I still have that as well. i have went #2, 4 times today..........make that 5 times today!
and have passed gas so much you can see a mushroom cloud above my house. I have read EVERYWHERE online that 90% of people that eat this cereal *All kashi brand GOLEAN for that matter* get the same results! Some people think it is the fiber, i am here to tell you that i take in a lot of fiber per day. and before this cereal i did NOT have this bad of gas or bowel movements. No wonder why it is called GOLEAN. you will lose about 10lbs of waste and gas the first day! All kidding aside i do not like how the cereal is effecting me and others gas and bowel wise. that tells you there has to be something in it doing so. and i do not blame it on the fiber. i would appreciate it if Kashi could come out and say what it may be or send me some coupons for all my trouble. Junkie Judgement- Look- It has the clusters and some are huge! and that is awesome, especially all the berries. Taste- Taste is amazing! nice and sweet with a good crunch. I dont know what category i should put the bowel and gas trouble in. but i will say it is BAD on the gas and bowels. Please if you have loved ones do not put them through this type of punishment! They will beg for mercy at the smell of your Kashi-Farts. And if you hate running to the bathroom 2-3-4-5-10 times a day then this is not for you. Overall im going to have to give this a 5/10 i docked a point everytime i went to the bathroom. Kidding aside, i gave it a 5/10 because yes it does taste great! But it really is a problem that it is causing with my gas and bowels so until kashi apologizes and or says the reason for all the gas and bowel problems me and other customers have been experiencing i am no longer a customer of theirs. Overall 5/10

Eggo Fiber Plus Chocolate Chip Waffles

LEGGO MY EGGO! Here we have it, Another waffle review, this time we have Chocolate chip waffles! These i wouldn't say are overly healthy but they arnt too bad. These waffles are filled with fiber so like the commercial says "Their must be cardboard in here" Or "They must taste like cardboard" And then the guy says "Cardboard, no, Delicious Yes." Ok let's see if this man is telling me the truth. So i toasted my 2 waffles for breakfast today, i eat them plain  not only because i want to see the real flavor but because i dont want to add many extra calories haha. So i took my first bite. I have to say the Chocolate Chips arn't too bad, they are not very sweet though. They taste more like Dark Chocolate than anything but on the box it also says antioxidants so i guess the dark chocolate give's it that Anti-oxidant kick. The waffle in all is pretty crispy, not too fluffy or moist if you ask me, and no i did not burn them either! I know i may seem like im knocking them quite a bit but actually they are really really good! If you like crispy-ish waffles you will like these, and if you like chocolate chips you will love these! Calories in 2 waffles is 180 which actually isnt too bad for breakfast. There is also 9g of fiber! Which is really good! *36% DV* Only 8g of sugar in 2 waffles as well. so overall they are NOT that bad on the health scale, especially if you need the carbohydrates for energy in the morning like i do, because i work out mornings. Price is a little high at $5 a box but with coupons we got them for $3 and a few Buy One Get One free's. Overall with taste, quality, and price involved.... 7/10 Pretty good! Is it worth it? Yea i would say try a box, you will get your taste, fiber, and even a nice kick of antioxidants. P.S. If you are looking for a regular tasting waffle then check out the Fiber Plus Buttermilk version of these :)

Chobani Greek Yogurt Champions!

As i logged in today i see we have a vote for a review of "Yogurt's" That is great news as i have something that is a very healthy alternative to the sugar filled flavored yogurts. If you are with the times you have heard of Greek Yogurt. It is healthier, thicker, creamier and tastier than plain old BLAH yogurt. If you are like me however you have tried Plain greek yogurt and thought "YUCK!!!" Well i am here to save you from the "Yuck" and give you the "YUM" with Greek Yogurt. Today we have Chobani Greek Yogurt Champions. It is "The first ever greek yogurt for kid's" But i think all the sugar-loving adults will love it as well :) They have 2 flavors of this yogurt, Verry Berry, and Honey-nana. The verry berry is Raspberry, Strawberry, and blueberry. The Honey-nana is Honey and Banana. You will be more than happy to know that these are 100% Natural, packed with 8g of protein, have no artifical colors, preservatives, or sweeteners, and made with milk from cows not treated with hormones. Oh and!!! ONLY 100 CALORIES!!! Let's Get to the flavor. When i first tried it i went back to my childhood and rememberd those Yogurt Tubes i used to eat all the time! It tastes just like that and i love it! Their is no bad aftertaste at all with this yogurt, and it overall is just fantastic for being only 100cal and having protein. I have not yet tried the Honey-Nana but if it is as good as the Verry Berry then stock up!! Your Kids will love these but, you will love them even more ;) Be sure to check them out at your local market! Overall Taste is a 10/10 The cool kid like design again is awesome 10/10 on the look, price is $4 for a 4 pack so it is about $1 a cup if they were sold individually, with coupons you could easily get the 4 pack for $2-$3. Price i will give it a 9/10. Is it worth it? Yes! This is a great substitute for all the other 100 calorie yogurts that are full of artifical junk. All natural is the way to go! Overall i will Give Chobani Greek Yogurt Champions a 9.5/10 I highly reccomend this product!

Cinnamon Burst Cheerios

Hey everyone! First off i want to say thank you for all the views! I'm up to 257 in just 6 days of my blog being up! Thank you all so much! Please Continue to check in on the website, Sign up for my email newsletter, tell your friends and SMILE :)! That being said, Today we Have General Mills' Cinnamon Burst Cheerios. On the box it also says 20% DV of fiber. So that is starting us out on a plus. It also says "Flavored with REAL Cinnamon" Again, Another plus. Judging from the box it looks like the cheerios are literally bursting with cinnamon and it must just be full of flavor. So i put this to the test. I poured myself a bowl, well cup because there were no clean bowls haha. They looked pretty nice, you could see the little flakes of cinnamon throughout the little cheerios. Next i poured in my almond milk with the cheerios and took my first bite. This is were it gets fun, When you first take a bite you will notice a warm feeling inside your mouth. Your mouth literally gets warm and it feels really cool actually! I have not seen any other bloggers talk about this. Maybe thats why it is called "Cinnamon Burst?" Because it has Cinnamon, and then you get a Burst of warmth? Other than the Warmth it was kind of a let down, keep in mind i say KIND OF the flavor is really good, if you took Apple Jacks minus the apple and cinnamon toast crunch minus the toast you would have "Cheerios Cinnamon Burst" they are not very sugary so don't buy this if you want overly sweet. It is sweet but not the kind of sweet that an 8 year old kid would crave. I do really like the idea of this cereal though, You have Cheerios which in themselves are heart healthy, and then add the cinnamon which not only add's flavor but is ALSO heart healthy. Then add the fiber which again is Heart healthy. This overall is just a box of Heart Healthiness! haha. So now its time for "JUNKIE JUDGEMENT" This is the part of the blog where i show no remorse and give you the rating of the item i am blogging about! So lets start with "The Look" OK, the box is really cool looking, i really like how it catches your eye when you walk by it. The two cinnamon sticks really show that this IS a real cinnamon cereal. Which again caught my eye. And the burst in the background is a really nice add on as well. Personally what would catch my eye even more would be Where all the red is on the box i would put red foil. So it kind of reflects and is just a real site to see. Am i asking too much? haha. 9/10 on box design. Next lets take a look at the look of the cereal, The cereal itself from a distance looks like regular cheerios but when you look close up you can tell they are made with cinnamon because you can see all the tiny flakes of cinnamon through out the cereal, And the cinnamon cheerios seem to have a deeper color to them than the original ones and even the Honey Nut Cheerios. With the look of the cereal itself i give it a 10/10 because they really made sure you knew what you were getting, they really did a great job adding all the cinnamon flakes to the cheerios. Lastly lets take a look at what we REALLY care about, TASTE! Eaten without milk you can really taste the cinnamon which is great because the sweetness is just right and the cinnamon is really good, When you add milk it seems to take away quite a bit of the flavor, with milk you just taste a little cinnamon on your tongue and then thats it. I also really enjoy the Warmth you get with your first bite, i got this feeling till about 4 bites in with milk, and without milk you get it over and over again. If you have a kid who isnt a Sugar-Addict then they will enjoy this cereal. If you do have a Sugar-Addict however, they may not be as pleased. The only drawback with taste is added with milk you dont get a long lasting taste, its kind of a peck on the cheek, just a little zip of cinnamon and thats it. So taste im going to give it an 8/10. Overall this cereal gets a 9/10 in my book, it is well worth the $3.99 and will give you that little zip of flavor in the morning but will also relax you after your caffeine buzz from the coffee with the warmth the cinnamon gives   you. Final words- Yes this cereal is well worth the money and yes it is delicious! As an added bonus it is pretty healthy on the heart scale as well! 9/10

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! THANK YOU ALL!!!!!***** Be sure to look right below this post and see some of my other post's i have done! Enjoy your stay!

Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats Touch Of Fruit in the Middle

Wow what a long name. I have been hearing about these for a little while now, and i have even passed over them a few times at my local market, but the more i looked into reviews online the more i wanted to buy them, not because people were giving these rave reviews but because they were giving these mini wheats pretty bad reviews. Some said "they tasted like twigs", some said "there was barley any fruit in it", some even say "they tasted no different than the other Mini-wheats products". I just had to put this to the test. Not only because people were knocking mini-wheats but because i only found a handful of reviews because this is still a fairly new cereal product on the shelves. I went yesterday to the store to pick up a box, there were only about 3 boxes left after i took 1, So they must be kind of worth it right? The box looks pretty cool i thought, really purple with little designs in the background and then they show the mini wheats in a bowl of milk with the big glob of fruit in the middle! When i returned home i put these in the cupboard for Today's breakfast. I woke up this morning starving as usual, Couldn't wait to try these out! I measured myself out a serving of these *55g = 190cal* poured in my almond milk and then i had to go on the computer quick, after i was done checking my email the mini-wheats were pretty soggy by then, some where still a little crunchy though. The soggy ones made the Jelly filling really soft and pretty tasty. In the crunchy ones though it seemed like you really couldn't taste the fruit as much for some reason and the jelly was chewy kind of like a fig newtons filling. I dug back into my bowl of mini wheats and it also seemed that some had more fruit filling than others. Most were pretty well off with the filling but some had barley any and some even seemed like there was no filling in them. 90% of them had Good amounts to ok amounts of filling in them while the other 10% had very little or what seemed like none in them. The taste was actually really good if you could get a mini-wheat with a good amount of fruit filling in it, the box says it is "mixed berry flavor" for the jelly, i tasted strawberry more than anything in the fruit filling, But you could taste a little hint of blueberry, so it wasn't a total let down. I took a spoonful of peanut butter and mixed it in a little bit with the cereal and it really tasted like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! That was a plus for me. This is the only flavor available as of now for the "Touch of fruit in the middle" i would personally like to see maybe some cinnamon apple flavor or if they want something else other than fruit in the middle, maybe take the chocolate mini-wheats and fill them with peanut butter filling! Overall the Flavor is pretty good as long as you get a mini-wheat with enough jelly in it, if not then you are better off eating a normal mini-wheat not filled with any jelly-goodness, But i guess you should expect for their to not be a lot of filling as on the box it does say "a TOUCH of fruit" and not "WOW OVERFLOWING WITH JELLY GOODNESS!!!" That would be awesome though right?! All-together i would give this cereal a 7/10 If all the mini-wheats were filled with an equally good amount of Jelly then this would get a 10/10 in my book but unfortunately the amount of jelly you get per mini-wheat fluctuates more than the price of gas. Is it worth the $3 a box? Yea i would say so, it will add something a little different in your Morning Breakfast. Overall 7/10
