Product Review: Metamucil

I recently had the opportunity to review a couple of new items from Metamucil - Fibersure & Berry Blast. Actually, I made DH try them since he's always been a big fan of the leading competition. The only thing he didn't like about the "other" product was that the tablets had a chalky taste and a glass of water always had to be kept handy.

Not so with Metamucil.

Now, if it were me, I would just add Fibersure to my everyday cooking so that no one would know the difference. However, DH is the type to just go for it. He added it to plain water and amazingly it quickly desolved. It looked like an ordinary glass of water! He couldn't even taste the difference! What a great way to get your 20% of the daily recommended allowance of fiber.

Now the Berry Blast was more for me since I prefer things with a little taste. The powder mixed into a clear reddish liquid and it actually looked like juice! Even my daughter wanted to try it. The taste was not too sweet and I was able to completely drink it without constantly thinking about what it was. That was amazing.

Of course, everyone knows that Metamucil is a great way to get your daily dose of fiber. But did you know that it's also great for preventing heart disease by lowering cholesterol? So, even if you're a pretty regular person, Metamucil can still benefit your overall health.

In our opinion, Metamucil is a great product. In fact, DH has decided to switch over and see if COSTCO sells it in bulk! How's that for an endorsment?

Product Review - Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters

First of all, let me say that I've never been a big fan of raisin bran cereals. I'm more of a Frosted Flakes or a Lucky Charms kind of gal. Therefore, when I received a free box of Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters to try, I wasn't really expecting much.

This new cereal from General Mills is made with whole grains with over 40% of the daily value of fiber (11 grams per serving). It also claims to be #1 in fiber among the leading raisin brans. I decided to give it a try.

Out of the box, it looks like your average raisin bran. However, I noticed that the flakes had a smooth texture which would probably make it easier to eat. It could have had more raisins, though. I love raisins.

Surprisingly, the taste was actually pretty good. I was expecting bland but the lightly sweetened wheat & bran flakes really stood out. Not bad at all. In addition, considering that I can never finish a meal in one sitting without the kids needing something, this cereal stayed pretty crunchy as it sat there in a pool of milk. Any cereal that can do that gets a "thumbs up" from me!

But don't take my word for it, try it yourself!

Product Review: Brighter Minds Children's Books

When I was asked to do a product review on a couple of books from Brighter Minds Media, I was thrilled. I've always felt that reading to your child is one of the best gifts you could ever give them. In fact, I read to my daughters before they were even born!

Brighter Minds Media is based in Columbus, Ohio and Toronto, Canada and have been publishing award winning items since 1998. Their fun and educational books and software are geared toward children ages 3 - 12.

The books that we received are:


Winter Spring Summer Fall - A Touch-and-Feel Seasons Book
This was the perfect book for Baby Bug since she's now in the put-everything-in-your-mouth stage. This sturdy and durable board book is filled with various touch-and-feel textures as well as bold colors which definitely helps to keep her attention.


30 Minutes a Day Learning System - Kindergarten
This colorful, 396 page workbook is a great supplement to Girlie Girl's school work. It includes 50 30-minute study sections which were developed and assessed by actual teachers. The pages are perforated for easy removal and there's even a Certificate of Completion which your child can proudly display when they're done.

Girlie Girl loves it so much that she actually sits there for more than 30 minutes at a time and will even prefer to complete the assignments rather than watch television. Now that's a miracle in my book!
