Reviewer: Jennifer in New York |
| I missed eating oatmeal for breakfast so much going low-carb BUT NOT ANYMORE!!! This hot cereal (although a bit finer in texture than oats) is out of this world!! I tried the butter pecan variety and embellished it for more flavor & sweetness. (a MUST, I feel) Added Walden Farms Maple Syrup, a bit of cinnamon, a few extra chopped pecans to crunch it up a notch more and then a drizzle of heavy cream. VIOLA! WAY LOW CARB breakfast is served and I long for oatmeal no more! The suggested serving of a 1/2 cup sounds small but is more than filling so I just thought I'd mention that. Happy dining! |

Reviewer: MARGARET in New York |
| I thought the cereal was excellent and I especially liked the fact that I didn't have to put it in the microwave because similar cereals seem to boil all over the place. The taste was true to flavor and the consistency was good. It wasn't lumpy and it mixed up effortlessly. Now I'm going to order it in each flavor. Also the speed of delivery was outstanding... Thank you. |

Reviewer: Deborah in Maryland |
| I have been eating this cereal for several years. I have GI inflammatory problems due to Lupus and this flax seed base cereal is my relief. Add a handful of raisins, some walnuts, some brown sugar or a small amount of stevia to taste. Then, zap it in the microwave for a few minutes. Yum! Eat this cereal every am and a hi-potency probiotic supplement and viola! Leaky gut syndrome gone, cramps and constipation gone. I have been known to take this cereal along on vacation and eat it with hot tap water and a cup in an emergency fix if there is no coffee maker to get the boiling water. That is how much I believe in this 'miracle' food for my body. I keep it in the fridge (especially in summer months) because it can go rancid if stored too long in warm spaces. Try it, add what you enjoy and your tummy will thank you. |

| I am so happy that I tried this product! I love hot cereal and found it off limits for the 10 years that I have been low carbing. I love this cereal and have it almost every morning for breakfast. I just add a little Walden Farms carb free marshmallow and it is out off this world! |

Reviewer: Jimmy in Alabama |
| Love the vanilla almond -- I'm going to try butter pecan next. Note to anyone who has a problem with the texture -- texture varies a considerably depending on the ratio of water to cereal. If it's too thick, just a tablespoon or two more water will probably do the trick. Same for people complaining about the flavor -- it definitely can't stand alone, but a little Splenda and cinnamon or flavored syrup and it's great! |

Reviewer: Andrea in New York |
| Many mornings begin with this belling warming treat. I typically add a Splenda pack and some cinnamon to each of the flavors, but thoroughly enjoy this cereal. You have to adjust to the fact that it likes to gel up a little when it starts to cool, but mine typically never gets the chance to do so as it's gone so quick :) |

Reviewer: Terri in Texas |
| Very impressed. I had a bit of hesitation about trying this product, as I have tried to make home-made flax cereal and was totally turned off by the slimy texture. This was not like that. There was a very miniscule slime texture, but not even close to being enough to cause a gag reflex. (not trying to be gross, just honest) The smell while cooking was fabulous - just like cinnamon and spice oatmeal. The taste wasn't as strong as the smell, but it was still good. I added a small amount of cream and (2 packets of) Splenda as recommended. I think next time I will add some cinnamon and maybe use sf maple flavored syrup in place of the Splenda. One word of caution - the serving size was very large for me. I plan to only use half a serving. But that's a good thing - the package will last twice as long. I was looking for another quick breakfast fix and I have found it with this product. Thanks, Netrition!!! |

| I love this cereal, great comfort food and fast to make. Doesn't really taste like "cinnamon and spice" but that actually just makes it more versatile since it can be flavored according to preference. |

| Flax-z-snax cereal is a really nice change from eating eggs each morning. It's tasty and so easy to prepare. Sometimes I add a little cream or half and half, with a pat of butter to my serving and I am off to a good healthy start each day. My very favorite is the vanilla almond...just good comfort food in the morning. |

| This cereal is very good. I like it better than oatmeal. It is very filling and easy to prepare. I used soy milk and Splenda reducing the carb count as I am on a low carb diet.
It is a wonderful product and I've ordered more. Thank you for making it available. |

Reviewer: Harry in Maryland |
| Great product for those trying to follow a very low carb diet. Great taste, particularly the versions with dried berries, either Strawberries or Blueberries. I did not like the Cinnamon and Spice as much. I put stevia or equal in the hot water to give the cereal some sweetness and then dribble some whole milk yogurt on top. Tastes wonderful. Help's keep my blood sugar in the normal range and produces a minimal blood sugar rise after eating. |

| I think the new chocolate cream is very good and less caloric than the old version. It does have less chocolate flavor as another review pointed out, so I sometimes sprinkle it with unsweetened cocoa. I have been a fan of these cereals for years. |

| Flax-Z-Snax is great! I love it. It's quick and easy and with a sprinkle of sugar-free sweetener on it, it tastes great. It is the highest fiber content cereal I have ever found and it doesn't taste like you're eating cardboard. With a touch of cream for a low-carb diet, it makes a fast and delicious breakfast |

1 cup of the cereal,

1 egg,
1 T oil or butter,
enough Hood Calorie Countdown 2% milk to thin it out We think it is as good as IHOP. Nice for Sunday mornings. |

| I LOVE THIS OATMEAL! I have it everyday and I attribute my maintained weight to this oatmeal alone. I like to add some DaVinci Flavor syrup to it sometimes and other times I add some milk or perhaps butter but even by itself it has a nice flavor, texture and the right stuff to fill you up and keep me satisfied. I don't know what I would do without it, it's the only high-protein, low-carb oatmeal on the market! I bring it with me on every vacation! |

| These Flax-Z-Snax hot cereals are ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! I've had the Strawberries 'n Cream and the Butter Pecan flavors. They are fast and easy to make, delicious, nutritious, and filling. It's great to find a tasty low-carb cereal that packs easily for camping, is satisfying, and holds up well (doesn't go stale or spoil too quickly.) I would highly recommend giving these cereals a try! (I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Netrition will continue to carry these!) |

Reviewer: Sue in Arkansas |
| It wasn't until the 2nd time I had this cereal that I decided I REALLY liked it. I had to 'doctor' it a bit, but I have it every morning now. I add splenda and sugar free maple syrup and eat it with cream. YUMMY!! The best part is that it keeps me full for well over 4 hours! I have even eaten it before I went swimming and then didn't eat again for more than two hours after I swam. I swim all of the time and I usually am famished after a workout. I have eaten this at 9am for breakfast and then not even felt hungry until 3pm!! Amazing for me! I am ordering the other flavors to try them now too. |

(This seems to be a problem being on a low carb, high protein diet.) I didn't think there would be REAL blueberries in it too! It tastes great! I would recommend it to anyone wanting high protein & high fiber. |

I can adhere to my carb limits and have a hot cereal for breakfast. This is a great placement for oatmeal! I add a bit of butter and half and half to my bowl and then sweeten with Splenda. |

| I have been eating the Cinnamon and Spice and Butter Pecan flavors. They taste good and stick with me for hours, so I don't feel hungry right away. I found the strawberries and cream and blueberries a bit too sweet, though. I used to like Ralston hot cereal as a kid and these remind me of that. I'm glad that with the low carb fad over, this product still exists. The calorie count is just right too. |

| I love, love, love this cereal! I eat it every morning and sometimes have a second serving for a late night snack. So far I've had the Strawberries and Cream (my favorite), the Blueberries and Cream (great, but not enough blueberries), and am eagerly awaiting the arrival of Cinnamon and Spice. I eat low carb/low calorie, so I don't add cream and butter, but I don't think the cereal needs it. I just throw in a splash of Da Vinci syrup and enjoy. |

| My husband likes the Cinnamon and Spice and I eat the Butter Pecan and they are both very good as well as an excellent source of fiber. We add Splenda and cinnamon and nutmeg to give them more flavor and sweetness. I put Silk unsweetened soy milk in mine and he uses cream. We tried the Strawberries and Cream flavor a few years ago, but didn't care for it. We also used to eat the Vanilla Almond on occasion, and it's all right, but we seem to have gotten hooked on the other two flavors. Give them a try! |

| I have been ordering this product for nearly two years. This cereal is a crucial part of my diet as I am a Type 2 Diabetic and normal cereal advertised as low sugar is still very high processed sugar and carbohydrates. Flax-Z Snax is not only sugar free( no processed sugar or fructose) and less than two net carbs, and the strawberry and cream or blueberry and cream are both very tasty and you can have more than one serving without worry about excessive calories. I recommend for dieting and as a health food. |

| If you like oatmeal, you'll like these -- for a lot less carbs. Of all the ones I've tried, I like the Cinnamon and Spice best -- but they've all been good. I add a few more spices, Lakanto sugar substitute and cream or half and half. Make it thin and it's a little like Cream of Wheat, thicker and it's more like oatmeal. Very satisfying and curbs hunger for a long time. |

If I want a bit more, I might add a half-serving of the Wheat-free Decadent Chocolate. I just wish Netrition carried a PLAIN flavor, for mixing or adding my own flavors. LOL! |

| All of the Flax-Z-Snax Hot Cereals are good - but our favorite is the Strawberries and Cream. The carbs are low enough and the flavor just right for a cold winter morning - or when a protein shake just won't do for breakfast. Besides the protein, I also appreciate the fiber. It can be very helpful on an all-protein diet. |
