This
was my first Goodie box. The theme this month was “Breakfast Food”. I
was a bit impartial to this as I rarely change my normal “Honey Bunches
of Oats or Honey Nut Cheerios with Reduce Fat Lactose Free Milk” or my
favorite “Everything Bagel with boatloads of FULL FAT :) [Just in case
you thought I was health nut :) ]Cream Cheese” on Monday mornings. But I
guess, I can always try something new as a snack.
Here is what I got -
Alo Water Watermelon and Peach -
I was a bit hesitant to try this as I am not quite fond of peaches. I
actually have no idea why I dislike them and find them so disgusting.
The juice was highly fragranced of peaches with a hint of watermelon. I
took a sip and a gulped down a bit of aloe. While I did taste a bit of
peaches and the aloe was a bit tasteless, I didn’t like it at first but
after third or fourth taste I kind of like it. My brother took a sip and
swallowed a piece of aloe and asked if he was going to die. And then he
asked if we had any more coconut water. I can’t blame him, the juice
does remind me of coconut water. Overall, I did enjoy the water but I
would definitely try the other flavors instead.
Nabisco Newtons Triple Berry - I
remembered wolfing down the fig newtons when I was younger. I can’t say
these taste any different from the fig newtons. These were sooo
delicious, I wish I had more than two. Make me wish I never did share
with my brother.
BelVita Cinnamon Brown Sugar Breakfast Biscuits -
These were so good! They did have the whole grain taste but I didn’t
mind it much because the cinna brown sugar tasted a lot better. I had
them during lunch and it satisfied my sweet tooth while not making me
feel “ugh...I need to work off that 600 calories worth of cookies”. Best
part, I only had two biscuits and felt completely full!
Erin Baker’s Breakfast Cookie - Peanut Butter
- I was quite disappointed about this. I love peanut butter but this
tasted and remind me more of carrot cake. The cookie was hearty and had
pretty strong whole grain taste. While, I wouldn’t recommend as snacking
cookie it does seem like a breakfast cookie [just like the label
says!]. Overall, I wouldn’t see myself going out my way to buy this to
have for breakfast, I still rather my bagel or cereal.
Ola! Handbaked Granola - No Nut Vanilla -
Handbaked? There better not be any human flesh in here as I already
wolfed this down. My favorite part of this snack was on the packaging
“Ingredients you heard of....Non-GMO Expeller Pressed Canola Oil”.. WTH
is that? That sounds more like a Power Ranger. Anyways, enough with the
fluff, I rarely eat granola, so I don’t really have anything to
benchmark it against. I did taste a hint of vanilla and it was super
crunchy. I ate out straight of the bag and it did make me a bit thirsty
but I imagine granola would do that. All in all, it was enjoyable but I
wouldn’t go out of my way to get this.
Rickland Orchards Greek Yogurt Coated Granola Bar - Toasted Coconut -
The sweet pineapple and mild coconut complement each other so well.
This tasty granola bar was sweet but not so overpowering in which gives
you one of those nerve wracking toothache. My only qualm was I really
thirsty after eating this. While eating this I imagined being in Hawaii
at the beach with my toes buried in the sand or the very least at home
watching Hawaii 5-0.
Bonne Maman Strawberry Preserves -All
I can say is, “Sweet Delicious Heaven”. When I popped the lid, the
sweet scent of strawberries filled the air..[Is it wrong that I am
drooling?] The jar was good for two slices of bread. I greedily used the
whole jar in one serving on top of hearty whole grain wheat bread. The
sweet jam was delicious but not overpowering and best part it was soo
good I didn’t even mind eating wheat bread. Although, I was tempted to
using my fingers to pick up the little preserves left in the nook and
crannies. Okay, full disclosure, I did use my fingers to get every bit.
