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!

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

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
