Reviews, Reviews & More Reviews...

I want to start by thanking everyone for taking the time to review the products that I received from the generous folks at Nature's Path. It's always fun to read someone else take an a product that you may enjoy so much you think it's the best thing ever, or a product that you feel is the worst ever made. So let's get started with the first three below:

Edith- I won the Love Crunch®- Dark Chocolate & Red Berries Premium Organic Granola - Let me start by saying that this has to be the best granola I have ever tasted. My family's not big on granola. In fact I couldn't even get my husband to try this, but my two boys (ages 19 & 10) were willing taste testers. We read the package & decided that we should try to eat it as a snack instead of cereal first. So when we sat down to start homework, I pulled out the granola & set it out for snacking. The boys reached in immediately & grabbed a handful. My 19yr old's first response was "I like it. The chocolate adds a great flavor & there isn't too much that it's over-powering the granola. The berries give a nice tang to the chocolate." My 10yr old said " It's good & fruity, but sweet too. I think it would be good in milk." I ate it sprinkled on the top of some Greek yogurt.  I think it's the perfect combination of granola/chocolate/tart berries.  I would recommend it to everyone.

I tried looking for it at my local grocery store & they don't stock it. Target didn't have it either, so I can't give you a price estimate but I will keep checking the store's, because I am definitely buying it when I find it.

LeAnna- I had the pleasure of trying the Optimum Slim® Low Fat Vanilla Cereal- Upon first glance of the box I thought "this is going to be bland". I was pleasantly surprised when I ate it the next morning for breakfast. My first bowl was with vanilla soy milk & the flavors of the milk & cereal mixed together were great. It had just the right amount of sweet with the milk & it stayed crispy until the last bite. I hate cereal that gets soggy halfway through the bowl, so the fact that it stayed crispy was an immediate 5 stars for me. The second day I ate it with dried cranberries added. That just made it the cereal all the better. It was also pretty filling for a breakfast cereal. I will whole heartily recommend it. You will love the taste & feel great that you are eating such a healthy cereal to start you day.

This averaged about $3.99 a box everywhere I looked. To me that's a great value for an organic, low sugar, good for you cereal.

Shelley- My freebie trial item was the Honey Oat Crunch Flax Plus Granola Bar- Le me first say that I've tried many, many granola bars & although this is a great granola bar, I can't call it the best one I've ever had. I'm not a fan of chewy granola bars, so I always buy crispy or crunchy. Some bars out there are so "crunchy" that you feel you'll break your teeth if you eat them. These bars have just the right amount of crunchy & a fairly good amount of sweet. I do think they are just a little smaller then the other national brand (that's not organic), but these are organic & that makes up for the difference in my opinion.

When I was checking the prices at different stores, the prices ranged from $2.99 (on sale) to $6.99 (at a private natural food store near my apartment). I think the average price was $3.99 to $4.99, so overall for a healthy, organic snack, it's not a bad price to pay. Thanks Amber for giving me the chance to try these & give my opinion.
