110,700 | Man, these are great. Unreal with maple syrup and pancakes. We have enjoyed them for over 15 years. |
110,701 | I bought this Pomegranate Concentrate to make Muhammrah and I've been using it for making juice as well. I wish I could find it locally but I'm thrilled Amazon has it. I really like the Sadaf brand. It's thick & great for recipes. |
110,702 | I love this conditioner. It doesn't just prevent dry scalp but really made my hair soft which is nice because I blow dry and straighten it every morning and my hair can get dry. But this moisturizes nicely without making it greasy. I definitely recommend it. |
110,703 | Fast shipping and great taste. i would recommend this to any one, i love this cereal yum.As soon as it came i grabbed me a bowl and started eating lol |
110,704 | Evanger's Super Premium Pheasant and Brown Rice is a wonderful food for dogs. I own a Shiba Inu who is very picky about the food we feed her. It was a challenge finding the right combination of food that would not make her sick or have an upset stomach. I put this food in front of her and now she paws at the pantry requesting more. For all dog owners who own a dog who is particular about their food this may be the answer. I try not to feed my dog table scraps and instead invest in a good dog food with the right nutrients. My girl is currently eating the Evanger's brand mixed with Stella and Chewey's raw patties. She absolutely loves the combination! |
110,705 | Are you ready to satisfy a hunger those smaller jars just can't satiate?
Need to make 3196 pieces of Nutella covered toast?
Feel like really scaring that creepy guy at work with the nut allergy?
Always wanted to swim in a sea of Nutella?
Want enough Nutella to feed an army and then use the container as a diving mask?
Well, look no farther. Ferraro's 11 lb. Big Tub will make all of those dreams come true. And more. |
110,706 | The sunbutter travel packs are so convenient and yummy. Not messy. I take when traveling as I No longer eat peanuts.
I got the creamy in the packs. I prefer the crunchy in the jars. |
110,707 | I drink my coffee black, so I'm picky. Like really picky. I got this while it was on sale here on Amazon, about $15 off the normal Starbucks K-Cups prices at this time. Wife and I both enjoy the coffee. I like it more than the random variety of k-cups we've been using for the last few months. I think I might actually like it more than the Pike Place k-cups we just finished off, and I actually prefer Pike Place when I'm at a real Starbucks. It's a k-cup. What else do you need to know? It's not quite the Starbucks that you get in person at a real coffee shop, but hey, none of these things are. |
110,708 | This was a great value. Since the price of peanuts went up. Also the price of peanut butter went up. So this was a GREAT value. |
110,709 | This is a coffee that I look forward to drinking as soon as I wake up! Very nice...... |
110,710 | I bought this product for my Aide, who has lived in a few different countries and they always had Milo. I had never heard of it and we couldn't find it in our local CT stores. The directions call for using a quarter cup of warm water to liquify 3 level tablespoons of the powder and then add warm or cold water or whole cream milk and sweeten to your taste. I found it faintly reminiscent of the Carnation Instand Breakfast I drank many years ago, as a teenager. It has a chocolate flavor, slightly malty but grainy. The flavor is not as malty as Ovaltine. I'll have to see if they still make the Carnation Instant Breakfast, that was good with milk.
So, overall it only rates 3 stars because it's good but not great or fantastic! |
110,711 | In the fall, I used this product and made pumpkin-caramel chocolate truffles rolled in cinnamon toasted chopped pecans. Everybody loved them. This is not a sweet extract, but is so flavorful. use it to add that taste of fall to confections and soups, risotto, etc! great product and well worth the price. |
110,712 | Great product - super secure packaging. Would purchase from this seller again. Peppercorns price was less than other sites I visited. I am very satisfied. Thank You very much! Abby |
110,713 | ***Edited on 5/25/2010***
I've eaten a few of the bars and shared them with others. Everyone really likes them. My only problem is that I believe I am allergic to something in them. I find my throat and inner ears get itchy when I eat them. I can't blame the bar too much since I'm the one with the reaction. I rarely react to foods, so this was a surprise to me. I'm adding this as a note for others who may have allergies.
****original review***
I eat lots of different "snack bars." I've tried a number of different vegan or organic bars and these rate up there will the top ones.
In essence, these are date bars with a strawberry flavor. The strawberry taste was more an aftertaste for me not hitting until well after I had started eating the bar. They are soft and chewy and a nice snack. I tried eating it for breakfast (I'm not a big breakfast eater, but eat a lot of these types of bars for breakfast), but I was hungry an hour later. So, they are good for a quick snack, but I wouldn't rely on it for keeping hunger away for more than an hour or two.
If you don't like dates, avoid these. If you are looking for an abundance of strawberries, don't look to these. If you want a quick snack that is healthy, then go for it. |
110,714 | i am new to using hemp every morning i make a smoothie with frozen bananas almond milk almond butter and equal parts hemp protein and flax meal it tastes great keeps me full for the whole morning im ready to try other hemp products try this one its great the price is great too |
110,715 | This is the only gluten free sandwich bread mix my kids like. It always turns out great! I do cover the bread with foil the last 10 minutes of baking so it won't be overly brown. We always have a good stash of this on hand. Good price on Amazon, too. |
110,716 | Imagine a small "wheat thin" that tastes like a slightly stale tortilla chip and you get an idea of what this product tastes like. The caloric intake and the fat, cholesterol, sodium, protein and carbohydrate amounts are similar to other snacks of this type. The ingredients lists flax, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, brown rice, oat fiber, soy, but the taste is that of a lightly salted tortilla chip. The word, "Multi-Grain" is a good buzz word for health and this does not contain any Trans fat or other harmful ingredients. However, I can't say that it's much different than most snack foods on the market other than it is not greasy. It's not bad, just not different enough to spark my interest. |
110,717 | I think Bob's red mill makes quality products. I subscribe to a few of them through Amazon and I had not been disappointed ... well, until I tried this pancake/waffle mix. It makes ok pancakes - but nothing special. The pancakes do have nutty flavor and are denser, as you would expect from whole grain product. But for waffles, this stuff is just no good. Really limp, tasteless waffles. Especially bad if you take a shortcut and don't whip the whites separately... Will not buy again. |
110,718 | I hate calling out an entire brand, but sadly, I must. I accidentally ordered this thinking it was a different, very similarly named brand, and didn't realize it I brewed a K-cup. It was so bitter, typical of this brand (this is my third attempt with this brand). And of course, I just had to accidentally buy the jumbo 24-count pack. Even with a 1/4 c of cream or a whole packet of hot cocoa, it still has a big bite to it. Anyway, it's just not for me. Good price, though, and arrived on time. |
110,719 | The chips came in a big box with great packaging so that none of the bags were squished. Overall i'm happy with the purchase and would order it again after I run out. |
110,720 | I am a founding member of a secret society that is solely responsible for the fishstick industry. We invented and perfected what everyone has come to recognize as the de facto texture and shape of fine fish. Some people will tell you that Lee Martinez is the founder of the modern fishstick, but they are misinformed. Lee was my pupil. He is a glory hound who was banned from the society when he boldly renounced the word "zest" when describing processed meat goods.
When I am searching for a flavor to perfectly compliment the woodsy zing of a fresh stick of fish, these olives are the finest. |
110,721 | They are dangerously good. I cannot buy them anymore. I just eat them all! They are my favorite chocolate cookies in the whole world! |
110,722 | BEING A DIABETIC THIS PRODUCT IS WONDERFUL. FINALLY BEING ABLE, LIKE GARFIELD, HAVING LASAGNA AGAIN. GREAT TASTE AND TEXTURE.
PETE |
110,723 | I got this in a care package while deployed and I am not a huge beef jerkey fan but this one was it for me! Love the flavor and texture of it. Was a little hard to chew at first but still pretty good. Lots of protein and good for an after workout snack. |
110,724 | tasty rich chocolate flavor cant wait to try vanilla & strawberry
Fast delivery well packaged easy to make
depending on machine is how to get a best cone |
110,725 | I was pleasantly surprised how good this cookie was. To be honeset, I only got to eat 2 bites of it....my 3.5 year old gobbled the rest up!! She's not a big breakfast eater, but she enjoyed this cookie. The raisins were nice and plump, not dried out and hard. Very impressed with the size of it too. This is a great cookie. |
110,726 | Fantastic tea! The automatic shipment is great! These are larger boxes than you can buy at the grocery store at a fantastic price! |
110,727 | Amazon is wrong, checked there site and my box i just received they ARE gluten free there is NO barley in it.Check it.
[...] |
110,728 | Very good flavor. I really like it and can doctor it up with other flavors such as Worchestashire sauce. Love the low salt. Did not really expect such big envelor of these, but I just use 4 T of the powder and a cup of water to make the amount I need., |
110,729 | This is my second favorite Davidson's loose tea, the first being English Breakfast. I have alternated between the Irish Breakfast and the English breakfast for my last four orders and have finally come to the conclusion that the English Breakfast is slightly more flavorful and a bit stronger. They are very similar though, almost too close in my opinion to bother offering both. |
110,730 | I didn't hate the turkey stew, it's not bad - it's the Mitt Romney of stews, not the Dick Nixon but unfortunately, not the Abe Lincoln either.
I think the problem is that it doesn't stand comparison with Dinty Moore Beef Stew which I like a lot more - I think the difference is the ingrediments, in Beef Stew, the list includes Beef and they are big chunks of actual beef. Turkey Stew lists: white turkey (white turkey, modified food starch, salt, water, sugar, MSG, spices), in other words, turkey spam, which again is adequate to no end. But I was expecting actual Turkey and also (paraphrasing Woody Allen) the portions are small, the "white turkey" chunks are small and there aren't that many of them.
I was going to try the Chicken Stew but after going on the Hormel site, I see that it too has something called "white chicken" on the list - well, I don't get excited by chicken even if it's really actual chicken - they don't even sell chicken spam, do they ?
So, I'm disappointed, I won't be buying turkey stew again - unless . . . maybe if I buy a can of actual turkey and blend it together with the Turkey Stew ??
Also, I'd really like to see a Dinty Moore Pork Stew made with real pork, now that would be exciting ! :) |
110,731 | The coffee has no vanilla flavor that I could detect...Otherwise it is an okay coffee...I have tried to add vanilla bean but it doesn't impart any flavor..I think the item was quite expensive and shall finish it and not buy it again. |
110,732 | I read the other reviews which lead me to try this product. Our 17 year old cat (Angel) was diagnosed with renal failure and the vet put her on food that she would not eat. That forced us to mix the vet food with other cat food and Angel still lost weight. Angel is a very small cat and has weighed approximately 6-7 pounds her entire life. When her weight dropped to 5 pounds we thought she was on her way out. We purchased this food and she LOVES it! Angel has been on it for about 6 months now and she is back to her normal weight. She begs for it. What an awesome product! |
110,733 | Just tried this coffee a few days ago and love it! I like my coffee strong (will enjoy a dopio every now and then). This coffee is strong and smooth. I can't ask for more. |
110,734 | I prefer coffee that is a little bolder, but if you like smooth, mild coffee, this is a good choice. The flavor is mild, but with some subtle accents.
I tried making this coffee first in the type of single pod machine that it is designed for, but found it way too weak for my tastes. Next I put several of the pouches (6) into a regular machine, with three cups were of water. Even in like this it was too weak for my taste, but you can tell that it is good coffee. It is smooth and delicious.
The packaging is nice, but I found the little packs to be hard to open. I couldn't get any of them open with my fingers, instead having to use scissors. |
110,735 | I have just started cooking with coconut oil in place of vegetable oil or other genetically modified products on the recommendation of a friend. Having done research on coconut's health benefits, I bought Spectrum organic coconut oil from a local grocery store. I loved it for cooking... especially eggs. But, because I wanted the benefits of organic, virgin, non-processed coconut oil, I did lots of research to find a virgin coconut oil.
This is absolutely fabulous! It has a mild coconut smell, and a mild coconut taste that is much milder in flavor when heated--you can barely taste the coconut, and I suspect only can taste it because I was specifically looking for it.
People have spoken about eating coconut oil out of the jar. I tried that with the Spectrum brand and shivered with the texture and taste. It was similar to taking a spoonful of Crisco and trying to swallow that. Yuck. Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is simply divine. I can eat THIS straight out of the jar. It is that good. I can't compare to any other brand of virgin oil because this is the first I tried, but the price difference of this product made me take a chance... and I am SO glad I did. |
110,736 | I use this to make BBQ sauce. It has a great flavor and is always consistent. It also is great on waffles and pancakes. |
110,737 | Helps with hunger. I drink it instead of snacking and it works. It is hard to find. Amazon has a great price. In NYC a box of 7 is $6. |
110,738 | My wife and enjoy a class of wine with our dinner and sometimes lunch. This product enhances every single bottle of wine we have tried. We don't drink expensive bottles, normally anywhere from $5-$35 a bottle and we have our regulars. I enjoyed this product so much that I bought one for my parents and it was a big hit. If you are a wine drinker this product is as essential as a cork opener. |
110,739 | I tried this at a friend's house and immediately got online to order it! Yes, that's how good it was.
Then I saw the price.
It's not THAT good.
Amazon - bring the price in line and I'm willing to bet you'll have BIG sales on this one. |
110,740 | I love love love this tea. We use it as hot tea and as iced tea. This is an amazing amount of tea for the price and is high quality. Smooth and not bitter at all. |
110,741 | SO GOOOOD!!! Melt in your mouth, worth blowing your diet over nuggets of chocolaty, toffee goodness!!! |
110,742 | The cats love this flavor. Finding cat food they ALL (currently 5) agree is tasty, is quite an accomplishment in this house. |
110,743 | I was thinking this would be a nice break from the normal tea. However it is a bit too spicy for my taste. Unless you really like the spice chai, I wouldn't recommend this tea. |
110,744 | This was great. I haven't been able to find it anywhere, not even on the Tom Douglas website. Fantastic. |
110,745 | No waste , even if she is having a day when she goes on a hunger strike she always room for one or 2 or 3 of these and the extra powder on bottom makes a real treat on food , Never met a pooch that did not go crazy over her treats ! |
110,746 | The benefit of olive oil without the salt--great product! Wish I could get it more often! |
110,747 | This an excellent product. It can't compare with fresh pasta. But for a dried product, it's tasty. |
110,748 | This was such a wonderful surprise. The sweetness was perfectly balanced, and it was absolutely delicious w/ the added bits of fruit. I wasn't certain about drinking Aloe Vera, but I loved the flavor blending w/ the Passion Fruit.
If you like fruit juices and ice teas, this is definitely a drink for you. It was nice and refreshing. I highly recommend it. |
110,749 | Weak, unimpressive, tasteless and way overpriced. Tastes like a coffee for little children. I will not repurchase! |
110,750 | I keep ordering them by the case and they are gone in less than 60 days. We love them. Much more flavor than the ones with Salt only. |
110,751 | My father adopted a dog a year and a half ago to train for search and rescue work. My dad considered diet to be an integral part of keeping the dog's mind and body finely tuned for search and rescue work so he conducted a few trial months of various dog foods, monitoring changes in energy level, coat health, bowel movements, and general interest in taste. Blue Buffalo performed the best. My dad's dogs coat is now extremely plush with no dry flakiness he had when he was first adopted, at a very healthy weight with tons of energy, has had no illnesses whatsoever, and happens to thoroughly enjoy his meals.
I adopted a dog for myself about 5 months ago. The previous owner warned me of his having an sensitive and irritable stomach (prone to diarrhea and bloating) and being picky about foods. Because of that, they'd had him on some ridiculously expensive prescription foods. He wasn't at a healthy weight and had dry itchy skin with excess shedding, and was a little lethargic. I immediately switched him over to Blue Buffalo when I got him home, since it worked so well for my dad. His skin has since totally recovered. He hasn't had any bowel problems, even when I give him the occasional table scrap. He's now has a very sleek athletic body. And I get compliments all the time about how glossy and beautiful his coat is. I swear by Blue Buffalo to keep my furry friend healthy, comfortable, and happy.
Also, even though it's more expensive upfront than some other main brands, the food is so nutritious that he doesn't need to eat as much of it as he does the others, and it actually saves me money in the long term. |
110,752 | The Ambrosoli-Honees Energy Plus Vitamin Honey flavored drops are really just another candy. The touted vitamins B6, B12 & C are in such small amounts that it takes three 20 calorie candies to get 100% of the recommended daily requirement.
The candies are reasonably flavorful and the liquid honey center is interesting though reached too soon. They're not overly sweet and the honey flavor a nice change of pace. The ingredients are: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Honey and the Vitamins. There appear to be no preservatives or artificial flavor enhancements. Each package contains (9) drops and weighs 1.58 ounces. These candies are manufactured in Italy.
One word of warning; After being in your mouth for a while these become incredibly sticky. If you wear dentures or have bad teeth caution should be exercised while consuming.
I felt no energy boost from the B6 & B12 vitamins even after eating several of these candies. The addition of B6, B12 and C appear to just be a hook to draw in the health conscious. In the end, this is just another candy product and nothing more. |
110,753 | Been looking for a vanilla k-cup coffee for awhile now. Have tried many of the French Vanilla k-cups out there but really enjoy a plain vanilla coffee. The box arrived yesterday(8/25/2012) and so far I have not been able to stop drinking them. The vanilla k-cups is a perfect blend of vanilla and a strong coffee. I drink my coffee black and do not add any artificial flavorings to it. I will be ordering another box or two as this box won't last. Finally, a vanilla coffee that is strong as has a true vanilla taste. |
110,754 | I was skeptical of buying Lean Treats from somewhere other than a vet's office. But, I've have been extremely happy with the product and its price. More importantly, my dog loves them. |
110,755 | Maybe it's a psychological thang but it seems to have a nice salty mineral flavor without being tooo aggressive. I like to use it in a grinder and use to finish off my steaks and roasts. Will buy more soon |
110,756 | I bought this for a dachshund/lab mix. He would only chew it IF I was trying to take it several time. The flavor just wasn't there for him to be interested. So I boiled some chicken broth and waited for it to cool a smidgen and let the nylabone sit in it for 15 minutes. I let it cool completely and now he's happy chewing! I have been watching him closely to make sure he doesn't eat plastic but he's doing great chewing. If you can't get your dog to enjoy it, I suggest trying that. |
110,757 | I am a very picky coffee drinker. I don't know or follow what critics may view as the best coffee, only my own taste buds. There is just something great about the aroma and taste of this Italian Roast. As mush as I didn't want to give any of mine away, I wanted others to try it and hear if they agree and THEY DID. I had everyone asking where I bought it so they could get their own. Now I am out and need to buy more. I thought it would be no big deal b/c I have more of another brand to drink, but it's just not the same, coffee in the morning can make your day and if it's not the right one....well, you know. I will continue to buy Tully's Italian Roast and so will my friends and family whom have tried it. |
110,758 | By far the best Haribo Gummies. Variety is great and it's always a surprise what you get. |
110,759 | has anyone else noticed a rancid smell with these? they are also slightly green in color (the white parts are white, but the black shells also have a green counterpart.) I don't know if this is normal. I keep a small amount in the fridge for several weeks use, in a mason jar, the rest in the freezer. I usually mix them in smoothies, and didn't try them alone until just now for the purpose of this review. The taste is nutty, I don't detect any rancid taste... just the smell that makes me inclined to stop using them. I read that hemp seeds go rancid like an hour after being hulled. |
110,760 | Great tasting decaf coffee. I drink up to five cups a day at work and find this to be perfect. I make a very large cup out of it by running it more than once through the machine, producing about 16oz of strong coffee. Tastes great with splenda. |
110,761 | The product tastes good. Have no complaints. Remove top, add hot water from the tap to fill line, stir, pop in microwave on high for 3 minutes, and then let sit for 3 minutes. Stir again and enjoy. Quick and easy to prepare.
As a college student, the fast preparation is great. The quantity of food on the other hand leaves more to be desired. Think of this as a side dish, because if you're really hungry--you'll be looking for something else. |
110,762 | My reason for ordering the wasn't just to feed it to my baby since we make a great deal of our own baby food (breast milk and homecooked and blended vegetables, supplemented with heathy proteins and fats very low on the added sweeteners, which includes fruit juices). I ordered it to try out the packaging, and a competing brand of Organic baby food side by side and also to see if this was something someone I know with swallowing issues could tolerate with ease and enjoy. So that said, unto the main review: Let me first tell you that if you are willing to pay a little more to make sure your baby isn't exposed to the BPA that lines the tops of most baby food jars or give them added starches & salts, this is a VERY GOOD product and one that is labeled ACCURATELY by weight. That, in and of itself is hard to find these days! The Puree consists of Organic Pears, Organic broccoli, Organic Spinach, Ascorbic Acid & Organic Lemon Juice. The last 2 ingredients are likely there not just for flavor but to help retard the growth of any bacteria since this product has no other preservatives. Its shelf life is about 3 months since mine were dated as sell by July 13, 2012. Baby Organic doesn't disguise the fact that their's is a fresh product needing to be consumed quickely and I like that.
As far as a fruit serving goes, and this IS a fruit - the vegetable in the product is not enough by weight to add much beyond some good extra vitamins & iron. The suggested serving size is 1/2 the package but most people will find an older baby will be able to or will want to eat the entire thing so it's more like 80 calories instead of the suggested 40. In way way, that is good news, however, since that means the product gives your child 4% of the needed proten for the RDA (hopefully the rest is coming from breast milk or an approriate formula) 50% of the RDA for Vitamin A, 140% of the RDA for Vitamin C, no calicium to speak of even though spinach is supposed to be a good source (tells ya something) and 4 % of of the RDA for Iron.
The biggest concern I have with this product is the packaging since that big plastic cap looks like a toy and if your child is clever enough to get it off the pouch once emptied, you know it's going stright into their mouth where it woull be chewed upon and possible choked upon. Until they solve this issue by coming up with a better re-sealable nozzle, please immediately lock away all the caps up high and afr away from kids if you plan to recyle them. The cap alone is why I took of 1 star. It seems they could have found a better system for resealing than this attractive hazard. There are zipper openings on similar pouches with re-sealable sticker strips that fold down over a ziplok type closure which could easily prevent a spill and provide for a second serving. THE CHOKING HAZARD OF THAT HIUGE GREEN BUTTON SEAL IS MY BIGGEST CONCERN.
Now, as for who liked it - well, everyone! Babies of the age mentioned had a blast eating the Pear sauce, since that's what it is really, not noticing anything they shouldn't like because when we served it, I made sure to ask fellow moms not make faces and to just say :"Yummy pears & spinach!" with a smile. Preschoolers who tried it liked it and for the older kids, we snuck it into home-made yogurt with no other sweetener other than tiny bit of agave syrup drizzle on top for them to stir in along with chopped, chunked pears. Nobody complained at all; not even the parents eating the yogurt until after I told them what it was. Then they all claimed they could taste the greens straight away - yeah.. right! NOT!
Now, If you eat the product plain, I admit, the first bite has a bright bloom of broccoli or spinach flavor, depending upon whom you ask, but once you take a second spoonful, you hardly notice at all. I would eat this mixed into my yogurt for flavoring if only to induce my children to enjoy it even more. The kids never noticed or cared. It goes to show you how much we pass down our own food prejudices to our kids. If WE wrinkle our nose at something, so likely will they. Better to just let them try it in a neutral atmosphere.
This leads me to my other reason for wanting to try this -- I have an older relative who has had throat cancer & after several surgeries can now only eat pureed items or those horrid sugary liquid nutritional drinks. I was hoping to try this out on my relative and see if she would enjoy this as a nice change of pace and she did! However, she can only manage about 1/2 of the pouch per sitting, which is a recommended serving. There's really not enough vegetable matter in here to make this a decent regular option over say, juiced kale, spinach and carrot, mixed into homemde yogurt but I gave it the ole college try! A neighbor who is elderly and insulin dependent took two packages to carry in her purse and told me they were terrific options for correcting too strong a dose of insulin or for preventing a blood sugar crash between meals.
Given these positive experiences with older folks, I think Baby Gourmet might wish to consider branching out and thinking about these specialty markets too. Diabetics and people with swallowing and/or digestion issues need a good, Organic, BPA -free option just as much as Babies do. Baby Gourmet already has a winning formula and manufacturing set-up. Perhpas they'll consider this other merket. I've written to them about it in hopes they will consider possible other applications for their good , BPA-free foods!
While I still am disappointed that there's no appreciable protien or calcium in a baby food advertising itself as a Fruit & Greens Mix, I like the product well enough to want to try their other flavors and to continue buying this one as a good Prepared baby Food Back-up option for when I do not have the time to m ake my own baby food (other than Breast milk!). I am VERY appreciative of the fact that Baby Gourmet makes a tasty product even adults can enjoy and further, that their label is ACCURATE by weight.
As has been pointed out by fellow Vine Program member, Work of Life, Happy Baby Organic Baby Food isn't quite so honest about their content. Like Vine Member, Work To Life, I highly rcommend the following book: Feeding Baby Green: The Earth Friendly Program for Healthy, Safe Nutrition During Pregnancy, Childhood, and Beyond and I also recommend the follow-up book by the same author, Raising Baby Green: The Earth-Friendly Guide to Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Baby Care to any of you who are striving to raise healthy children in a grocery store amnnd marketing world full of deceptive labels and advertising. These are great books to give as Shower gifts along with books on Breastfeeding asuch as: The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding: Seventh Revised Edition (La Leche League International Book) and the nphone number for the local chapter of La Leche League!
Happy feeding everyone! And let us remember to be kind to other Viners who do their best to write more than the mandatory # of words. I know I get a nunber of down-votes becuase of my rhuematoid condition that makes it hard for me to type with perfect accuracy. Likewise, I try only to Up-Vote other Vine members who have taken the time to upload images, share real experience and go beyond the bare minimum required of them. if I don't like a review - I merely pass it by. Let the Non-Viners be the Judges and Juries. I value other Vine Members' time and effort as I hope you do too. |
110,763 | I didn't order from Amazon, but picked up in the grocery store. Not a bad product, I just wish there was a sugared version of the mix. "Health nuts" aren't the only people who desire convenience... Not sure why this pops up in electronics or with an iPhone case picture... |
110,764 | As other reviewers mentioned, these cookies are very high in calories. That wouldn't be a problem if they tasted good, but sadly the chocolate flavor is very fake.
Its a good idea, but the flavor is just very poor. If you want to eat something chocolatey, just grab some actual chocolate, it tastes way better and is probably less calories. |
110,765 | None of the stores carry Oregon Gooseberries and we found them online through Amazon. We purchased a case of 8 and it went well, with the order arriving w/in a week, making it a time saver way to shop. |
110,766 | Great refreshing drink, not to sweet (I think the low sugar is the cause of most negative reviews, as a lot of people are used to high sugar drinks!!!). Easy to take with you on a trip, camping, hiking etc. They might take a little getting used to if your not used to low sugar products but you will probably find that you like them if you give it a chance. Much better for you than sodas and high sugar juices, ice teas, gatoraide type drinks etc. |
110,767 | I have been looking for Instant Clear Jel for about a year. I finally found it at Berry Farms. The Instant Clear Jel works just like the recipe says it will. (I made Almond Mayonnaise with it - healthy, with no fat except the almonds). Very happy to find the Instant Clear Jel.
It was about 3 weeks after I placed the order before I received it. |
110,768 | This herbal tea has a mild, pleasant flavor that is easy to like (hard to describe, however). Apparently some folks recommend this as a "pick-me-up" for people who don't like coffee. I can't speak to that per se, but it suits my wife and me to a T. |
110,769 | ... nasty. I may not be the best connoisseur of olives in the world, but I definitely buy my fair share, as Amazon can tell you. I practically live on olives. These, however, are soft to the point of slimy mush and just not tasty at all (like any slimy mush would have "taste"). I should have called Amazon and complained, but instead, I just cancelled my "Subscribe and Save" subscription.
Nice jar, though. The best olives I've had to date from Amazon are the Byzantine Pitted Country Olive Mix, 5-Pound Bag. Now those are fantastic, but they do come in a bag. So now I have a great storage jar to keep REAL olives!
P.S. In case you're missing my point, do NOT buy these olives unless you have a person in your life you REALLY don't like and want to give them a "gift" they're not likely to forget! :>) |
110,770 | My cat had been vomiting every morning for years and we blamed it on separation anxiety. We called an animal behaviorist and our vet recommended that we put her on kitty zoloft. We tried this cat food instead and immediately the vomiting stopped, she stopped coughing up hairballs, and she finally started having regular bowel movements. Her hair is shiny and she has put on a healthy amount of weight. She is no longer anxious and seems so much happier! We are so grateful! |
110,771 | My family has loved the taste of these. We have tried them in a variety of recipes and they have tasted great every time. I would definitely purchase again. |
110,772 | The only hot mustard worth buying yet my local stores quit selling it. Store buyers are uninformed on some products. |
110,773 | These lollipops are YUMMY! The company shipped them very fast! I am almost ready to order another bag! Love them! |
110,774 | This squid product is quite nice. The ink and the condiments are on target. I did not quite enjoy the fact that the calamari was sliced rather than packed in chunks. nevertheless the portion of ink made up for that. It's quite right to cook the mediterranean "black rice" with onions, tomatoe paste, olives, garlic powder and a hint of hot sauce (and capers if you are into). Overall I am pleased with this product. |
110,775 | All things considered, warheads and Toxic Waste are one of my addictions. Sour stuff is my munchie of choice! Also probably a good part of why I have an ulcer right now, but that is neither here nor there.
Still, to all persons considering ordering these products over the internet: be conscious of the weather between California and your destination. Especially in summer. Warheads tend to stick to the packaging when they melt in place in the back of a mail-hauler semi-truck. Makes them devilish to unwrap, and you sometimes get bits of foil or plastic wrap stuck to them.
I repeat, no fault of the reseller here. Good product, but my FUBAR in ordering it at a time when there was 90-degree-plus weather between shipping locale and my home.
I shall be ordering this again, but here around October when it isn't so bloody hot. |
110,776 | There are so many snack foods out there and so many promises with each one. It is often dificult to find one that isn't too heavy on what you should not eat, yet have some satisfaction in taste. We found these snacks to be pretty good. The cracker part was okay, a little flakie perhaps but its flavor wasn't too bad. The blueberry filling was very tasty so that to us over road the cracker part. Not bad at 100 cal for one, because one seems to quanch the urge to nibble. We liked them. I'm sure we will purchase them. |
110,777 | I have kids that would prefer to drink pop, if I let them! This is the first juice that's healthy enough to bother with and that they actually like. My local Kroger store charges over a $1 more per bottle than what it costs to have it appear on my doorstep. Can't beat it :) |
110,778 | We have been enjoying this tea at various Panera Restaurants. I googled online to see if we could purchase some and Amazon came up with carrying this fine product. The tea arrived as promised and was exactly what we had expected. Thank you. |
110,779 | My family found these tasty, with a nice crunch, and sort of a molasses flavor. Just seemed to have more to them than regular graham crackers. |
110,780 | Everything was in the box and all in date. They added a 10% off coupon for their site and I got the package 6 days ahead of time. I'm assuming most of you are familiar with 5 hr energy but if not its works decently. I have always had low energy that even vitamin B & D supplements couldn't help ( I do still take them to keep my levels in a healthy range). I tried coffee but it messes with my stomach plus it takes to long in the morning. So these shots are perfect in the morning before a workout or going to class. They make you aware and focused instead of completely wired ( for me anyway). |
110,781 | Although my kids prefer Pop Tarts, this is a healthy alternative. Believe it or not, the Apple without the frosting is pretty decent. There is cinnamon on the top of it which adds a bit of spice...I don't really like too much frosting on mine. The cherry pomengrante is the most preferred in my home. They don't last as long as opposed to the blueberry...Strawberry is delicious too. They travel pretty well too. Don't crumble too much... |
110,782 | I bought this or my boses wife who loves it. We normally keep candy out at work but she won't share her Chick-O-Sticks.
It really is good! |
110,783 | Perfectly packed and beautifully presented. I bought this basket to donate to a silent auction. I just drove it over and the ladies that run the auction, said it will be a sure hit. This was easy to order, came fast and made me look good. I will buy again from this company. |
110,784 | Good product. A little pricey, but something I purchase a couple times a year as a gift to myself. Easy to use, and shipped well, with temperature resistant packaging. |
110,785 | Seriously, I do like this stuff. I hope the calories I'm saving by eating this soup sometimes in lieu of a full lunch makes up for the salt in this cheap but strangely addicting instant soup.
Here's how it works: I arrive at work with my coffee or latte, get a coffee refill, then later rinse out the coffee cup (typically a large disposable paper cup), dump one or two packets of this soup into the cup, add hot water, and it's lunch time! One thing I've discovered is that there's so much salt in this soup I can make it half strength -- double the water that is -- and it's still enjoyable if a bit on the thin side.
And, the chicken heartiness soothes my caffiene wracked nerves and keeps me going and going. Not only that, but every once in a while I even find what seems to be a little tiny bit of chicken! |
110,786 | This was cheaper to buy online with free shipping than getting it at my local grocery store. I have fed this product to my cats for a long time and they are very healthy and happy on this food. |
110,787 | First time ordering this stuff, and it shows up ... hard as a rock. This is ridiculous seeing as how it's supposed to be in POWDER FORM for crying out loud. What the hell is wrong with Amazon for even SHIPPING this stuff in this manner? Are their shipping dept. personnel completely braindead NOT to notice that this bag of powdered peanut butter should not be hard as a brick?? And from other reviews, Amazon won't accept returns on this item? That is outrageous. Bad Amazon, just BAD!
I'm gonna TRY ordering the jarred version, and I freaking hope it shows up as it's intended; in POWDERED FORM dammit :/. |
110,788 | There is an odd aftertaste with this product that you don't get with fresh key limes. It ruined 2 pies and I just gave up and went to the store and luckily we still had key limes in Colorado. Such a shame because I wanted this to work, but if you are looking for the best key lime pie that you can make, stick with the fresh key limes. |
110,789 | Taste almost as good as the real thing. About the same texture as regular sugar cookies. It's actually hard to not eat them. They are so good that I almost ate the entire batch in 3 days. |
110,790 | We are big fans of high % Cocoa chocolate bars. These ones tasted a little "waxy" and not as good as some others. |
110,791 | Great price on a pack of 4 of these. Lavazza obviously know what they are doing, they already have a great reputation. Even though this had good reviews, I wasn't even positive what I was expecting from it. Me and my girlfriend decided to pop on an espresso machine, so this is my first endeavor is making it at home. I can't comment on what else is out there. And i'm sure if you have a nice grinder, and use whole beans, your experience might be even better. But I have to say this has been excellent. Even the smell of it from the moment you open the can is wonderful. If you want great tasting espresso, and you're not sure what to buy, this is the perfect starting point... You will not be disappointed. |
110,792 | This is the best tasting rice for making sushi. I like to eat it for just about any time I want white rice. I enjoy the sticky consistency and full flavor. |
110,793 | I've tried three flavors of this product so far: Black Cherry, Watermelon Strawberry, and Kiwi Berry. My favorite so far is Kiwi Berry that I thought was very good. Watermelon Strawberry was second, and Black Cherry was a distant third.
This product has a lot going for it, in my opinion. 100% fruit juice, so healthier than soda, but with added carbonation to make it different than just plain juice. To me, the amount of carbonation was just right - I was able to drink it quickly and found it very refreshing. The serving size is good, too.
I do wish that it was available in larger sizes, even if someone didn't want to drink it all at once.
My rating for the flavors, based solely on my personal opinion, is:
Kiwi Berry: 5 stars - would buy again
Watermelon Strawberry: 4 stars - would drink again, but probably won't buy again
Black Cherry: 3 stars - would drink again if very thirsty, but wouldn't go out of my way to get it |
110,794 | Along with incresased fiber and this product i was able to lower my cholesterol numbers significantly. Worth the try ! |
110,795 | I didn't expect to receive the exact mix that is pictured, but I assumed that it would be representative of what we'd received. We received 4 flavored coffees (2 each of Golden French Toast and Pumpkin Spice). The other 20 coffees were a variety of blends, but not what I consider "flavored" coffees (Columbian, Nantucket Blend, Caribou Blend, Folgers Lively Columbian).
So if you are looking for flavored coffees, I don't suggest this item!
After re-reading the product description that says "This variety sampler includes only flavored caffeinated coffee.", I got even more annoyed. My package included only 4 flavored coffees and it also included decaf! So I decided to return the item - then learned that it was non-returnable. I followed the links to correspond with customer service, and after a few minutes of chatting with someone, they said that they'd refund my money. Doesn't sound like a standard policy - but I'm glad that amazon.com stands behind their website.

110,796 | We have been using this rice for years, but are unable to find it near us. The closest place we can buy it is Fort Bragg, a long drive each way. If you have never tried CALROSE this is a real treat! The flavor and texture are so different than any rice normally available it is worth the effort to try it. This is NOT a Instant Rice - you have to actually cook it. Microwave works great. 1 Cup Rice & 2 Cups of water in a 5 to 10 qt covered MW safe Casserole works fine (1/2 tsp salt or butter flavored salt optional). Cook 10 min on high, Stir, 10 min on Med. (Settings vary) Serve with Butter and Soy Sauce (Kikkoman of course). |
110,797 | These are not really tortillas, they are very flat circular pieces of bread. Which is fine if thats what you want, but I wanted tortillas. I loved the Tumaro's tortillas when Amazon carried those, they were healthy, tasty and were tortillas. These do not bend very well around burritos or "wraps" either as they are so dry. Also, although these are whole grain, they aren't low calorie or anything. One tortilla, and mind you these are the small size, has 110 calories and 2.5 grams fat and 330 mg of sodium. And yet, they taste dry and stale.
Since the description leaves out the last of the ingredients, I will finish it for them.
"Contains less than 2% of the following: Calcium Propionate, Fumaric acid, Aluminum free baking powder, refined odorless and tasteless fish oil, gelatin, tocopherols, natural flavor, citric acid, sodium ascorbate and potassium sorbate. Allergens: Contains wheat, gluten, soy, odorless and tasteless fish oil."
I do not recommend these unless you are looking for dry, flat circular pieces of bread with plenty of calories and sodium. |
110,798 | I love Pop Tarts. There's tons of different ways to eat them. Unfortunately they aren't the lowest calorie food item out there, so I decided to pick up the low fat variety & try them. After eating them, I was slightly disappointed after doing some fact checking.
Taste-wise, these things are awesome & taste very similar to the regular product. Calorie-wise, there isn't a humongous amount of difference. With the regular pop tarts, there was only a difference of 12 calories. The fat content *is* halved in this set, but the sodium, sugar & carbohydrate levels are substantially higher in this than in the regular version.
Bluntly put, you'd be better off diet-wise to go with the normal poptarts than to go for this option. If all you are worried about is the fat content, you are set. If you are looking at a variety of factors, you'd be better off going for the regular version. I'm giving this product 3 stars for the taste, but I took 2 away because of the other factors. |
110,799 | Open the packet and you see the tea is dark green then the aroma of alfalfa wafts by and you know this isn't even close to being good Matcha. It is everything even class 2 Matcha isn't. It's not lovely to look at, not lovely to smell and it's quite bitter. I will never drink mine. I may give it away. Spring for a good Japanese Powdered green tea, and you'll be much happier. Don't waste your money. |
