| This cereal has a great taste, is easy to fix and has plenty of protein that fills me until the next meal. I use this cereal for breakfast or a healthy snack at work. I like the Cinnamon and Spice and the Vanilla Almond cereals and use them for baking, such as in my fruit crisp topping. |

| 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. |

| Love this product. To maintain the low carb profile, try the Blue Diamond unsweetened almond milk over it. 2 carbs and 40 calories and it is better than skim milk. I have to add 6 Splenda and some sugar free caramel or vanilla syrup to the Flax Z Snax but man is that a good hot cereal!! |

| If you crave hot cereal and are trying to cut carbs--this is for you! It is easy to make, delicious to eat and very satisfying. It is naturally high in fiber and keeps you feeling "fuller" longer--a GREAT BONUS. I love the taste of the Cinnamon and Spice flavor, but they are ALL YUMMY! |

| So far I've just had the Butter Pecan, and really like it. It has the benefit as oatmeal, and even though it's not the same consistency, it has a good nutty taste to help. Today, I'm ordering the rest of the flavors! |

| Fantastic product! I often find myself on the road, and subject to the free breakfasts at hotels, unable to get myself to a grocery store for real food. These "meals" are often continental style breakfasts with nothing but refined grains, starch, and sugar. So I put this product in my suitcase and mix a high quality, high protein, high fiber breakfast with the hot water from the hotel's pot in the dining room or with the coffeepot in the room. They usually have bowls and spoons there that I can use. Be sure to drink enough water with this high fiber product! |

| I just tried the Flax-Z-Snax Hot Cereal (Cinnamon and Spice) and really liked the scent and the texture -- reminded me of a hot cereal I used to enjoy called Wheateana. To enhance the flavor and make for a creamier texture (just as I used to do to the Wheateana) I added some salt and low carb sweetener to taste as well as a splash of heavy cream. Delicious! An added benefit that I really appreciate is the healthy dose of fiber. I'll be eating this often and came back to Netrition to order more (will try the Vanilla Almond too). |

| I would highly recommend this cereal to anyone who has problems with constipation. I had gastric bypass surgery and now have chronic problems with rock hard stools. After eating one 1/2 cup serving the problem is gone, with no harsh laxatives or cramping. It actually feels soothing to my poor GI tract. I bought the butter pecan and the taste is okay- but the benefits are definitely worth it.
Two thumbs up! |

| Flax meal is a great low carb cereal. I have used it for over 2 years with good results. Many health benefits including regularity, enough protein to hold you over until lunch. No glycemic impact. I use Soy Milk (unsweetened vanilla) and Splenda with cereal. Buttermilk pancake mix is really good. I add blueberries
or apples and use sugar-free syrup. |

| This cereal has dropped my mom's cholesterol from over 258 to 126 in less than eight weeks. And this is after taking her off the Lipitor. The statin drugs crippled my mother as she is a diabetic.
I HIGHLY recommend this for lowering cholesterol!
In my book it's a 10! |

| For the past 3 years I have been having Flax-z-hot cereal. I have it EVERY morning. I sweeten it with Equal or Splenda, then add a small amount of (powdered) coffee creamer. I also add a small amount of Fibre One cereal. Flax cereal keeps me feeling full for several hours. I can not start my day without this. In the past 3 years I have had 3 of my friends hooked on this. I have tried all the flavors, but I tend to order the ones with the lower calorie content, Cinnamon and Spice. |

| This is a great lo-carb breakfast cereal. I haven't found a cold cereal I like, so I eat this one, with a little Splenda and some milk or lo-fat half-and-half almost every day, year-round! I seem to be mildly allergic to some soy products, but this one doesn't bother me. It is tasty, filling, and instant. What more could you want? With only a couple of net carbs, its a wonderful, low-fat, cholesterol free alternative to eggs and such for folks on Atkins. Butter Pecan is my favorite, but I haven't tried them all. |

| These cereals have become the staple of my low carb diet. I use them for breakfast every day. They are about the lowest carb cereal available in the world, and are filling and quite delicious.
Recommendation: I add a teaspoon of Splenda granules, a splash of low carb syrup (maple syrup to the Cinnamon & Spice or Vanilla Almond and raspberry syrup to the Strawberries & Cream) and a dash of cream. Yummy! |

| I love this stuff. I've been eating it nearly every morning for four years. I found it initially because of its low-carb feature, but then I quickly realized that for the first time in my (rather long) life, I've found something that makes me healthily, happily regular. It's absolutely dependable for me. Suggestion: Put fresh fruit on this cereal. That makes it enormously more appealing than just eating it straight. |

| My family and I love these hot cereal products. Our favorites are the Butter Pecan and the Cinnamon and Spice. We were not especially fond of the Chocolate as it was a little slimy and not very chocolaty, but it did get eaten. We have found a Splenda brown sugar product that is excellent. We use the splenda brown sugar, along with some cream, to make this hot cereal more closely resemble oatmeal and brown sugar. In a pinch, my wife will eat it in place of dinner on the nights she has school. It is very filling, easy to make and quite tasty. |
