Tropicana Pure Premium Florida Orange Juice Some Pulp Review

Tropicana Pure Premium Florida Orange Juice with Some Pulp is really a well-balanced beverage, taste wise. There’s enough pulp provided, so that you know that the juice in the clear plastic 12-ounce bottle came from an orange.  But they overdid it neither with the pulp, nor the sweetness.  You’ll get some pulp in every swig.  … Continue reading Tropicana Pure Premium Florida Orange Juice Some Pulp Review



Great Value Crispy Battered Fish Fillets Review

Definitely crispy these   Great Value Crispy Battered Fish Fillets   are.  The cooking instructions provided were precise, easy to follow, and worked as described.  These taste as good as the name brand products from Mrs. Paul’s and Gorton’s.  I really liked them. You get ten pollock fish fillets per 19-ounce box. Each fillet weighs approximately two ounces, … Continue reading Great Value Crispy Battered Fish Fillets Review

I find this Parmesan cheese delicious to the point that … Continue reading Great Value Grated Parmesan Cheese Review



So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk Review

This So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk, is worse than the sweetened version (reviewed here) in terms of taste, in my view. While it resembles white dairy milk in terms of its color, texture, and opacity, it tastes less rich than even fat-free milk, and its flavor is reminiscent of the aloe vera juice that I used … Continue reading So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk Review



So Delicious Sweetened Coconut Milk Review

I bought this So Delicious Sweetened Coconut Milk, thinking that I’d get that same fruity sweet yet nutty taste of the coconut milk that my grandmother gave me once, that she had poured right out of a coconut. But this product tasted nothing like that, disappointingly.  The 100% natural stuff my gram offered had no … Continue reading So Delicious Sweetened Coconut Milk Review



Do Fish Oil Supplements Lower High Blood Cholesterol?

Concerned about a high LDL cholesterol reading six months back, as well as a total cholesterol reading of 203, I began taking Nature Valley’s clear fish oil capsules.  I’d take 1200 milligrams of this fish oil at each meal.  So in total, I’d take 3600 to 4800 milligrams per day, depending on how many meals … Continue reading Do Fish Oil Supplements Lower High Blood Cholesterol?

Ronzoni Penne Rigate Pasta Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat All Natural Review

With such an abundance of “white flour” pasta products on grocers’ shelves today, and relatively few completely whole grain products, discovering this   Ronzoni Penne Rigate Pasta Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat All Natural   was a joyous, delicious, and healthful experience. I melt over just about all pastas, refined or less so, dry or fresh.  But I have limited it in recent times, due to the … Continue reading Ronzoni Penne Rigate Pasta Healthy Harvest Whole Wheat All Natural Review

I bought a 2-pound (907 grams) bag of   Great Value Buffalo Style Wings last weekend for review, and we ate them for supper tonight.

Great Value Whole Wheat Rotini Spiral Pasta Review

I bought a box of   Great Value Whole Wheat Rotini Spiral Pasta   last weekend for review. This springy wheat pasta was a delicious, filling, and healthful taste sensation.

Maple Grove Farms All Natural Blueberry Syrup Review

On a whim, I recently tried   Maple Grove Farms All Natural Blueberry Syrup   liquid on pancakes, waffles,  and cereals to add a sweet blueberry flavor. This blueberry syrup has 40 calories per tablespoon, and appears on the lower side of equivalent in sweetness to pure maple syrup.  Both the blueberry taste and deep red color of the syrup seem very … Continue reading Maple Grove Farms All Natural Blueberry Syrup Review



Nestle Nesquik Low Fat Chocolate Milk Review

With most chocolate milks, you’ll find lots of added sugar in this  Nestle Nesquik Low Fat Chocolate Milk   product.  One serving a day might be acceptable for dieters.  But the alluring chocolate, creamy, and sweet flavors will likely entice you to drink significantly more than that; especially if you’re a feeble-willed sugarholic as am I.  … Continue reading Nestle Nesquik Low Fat Chocolate Milk Review



Galliker’s Strawberry Fat Free Milk Review

Like a thin strawberry ice cream shake, one that’s been out in the heat a little too long, this   Galliker’s Strawberry Fat Free Milk   certainly has the essence of strawberry, and though it’s a bit thin for my taste, it’s still rather nice tasting.  However, except for the milk itself, the strawberry flavoring here is all artificial, and this … Continue reading Galliker’s Strawberry Fat Free Milk Review



Lactaid 2% Milkfat Reduced Fat Lactose Free Milk Review

I’ve brought home a couple cartons of   Lactaid 2% Milkfat Reduced Fat Lactose Free Milk  to write about.  In a phrase: Creamy, sweet, and pretty good!  Nowadays, I typically do not drink any milk with higher fat than skim.  But as I’ve been so pleased with the Stonyfield fat-free milk offering (reviewed   here), I figured it’d be worthwhile to test this reduced fat offering from Lactaid brand, which … Continue reading Lactaid 2% Milkfat Reduced Fat Lactose Free Milk Review



Nestle Nesquik Low Fat Strawberry Milk Review

I snagged a bottle of this   Nestle Nesquik Low Fat Strawberry Milk   to check out.  Looking to take a break from the plant and grain beverages for a little while, I thought I’d bring a 16-ounce bottle home.

Nestle Nesquik Low Fat Vanilla Milk Review

Much in taste like a vanilla milkshake, this  Nestle Nesquik Low Fat Vanilla Milk   brings back lots of memories of grade school and trips to the ice cream stand that vanilla flavored soy and almond drinks fail miserably to do. The bottle says that this milk contains 170 calories per 1-cup serving, roughly twice that of non … Continue reading Nestle Nesquik Low Fat Vanilla Milk Review



Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original Almond Milk Review

I recently spotted this Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original Almond Milk  as a substitute for white dairy milk. The container says that this product contains only 40 calories per 8-ounce serving, and is an excellent calcium and antioxidant vitamin E source.  This product has no added sugar, and the carbs it contains are the complex variety.  So in … Continue reading Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original Almond Milk Review
